House for Living, <strong>Home</strong> for Life,<br />

Comfortably now and Into Old Age<br />

Carla Berezowski<br />

Leader / Owner<br />

The family home is more than<br />

just a place to live. For many<br />

people, their home is the source<br />

and location of some of their best<br />

memories. Parents remember<br />

the places that their kids took<br />

their first steps or had their<br />

picture awkwardly taken with their first date.<br />

Kids remember the games of hide-and-seek<br />

they used to play together in the backyard or<br />

the sense of accomplishment and fear they<br />

had pulling out of the driveway to head off to<br />

University or College for their first year away.<br />

It also is the safe place. The family home is a<br />

place filled with nostalgic images of laughter,<br />

tears, meals, games, sickness, and coming<br />

together in the face of adversity.<br />

With all that the family home means, it’s no<br />

wonder that majority of us strive to own one,<br />

and that nearly 90 percent of seniors don’t<br />

want to ever leave their homes. Even though<br />

the physical stresses of maintaining and<br />

maneuvering through a family home increase<br />

with age, most people who reach fifty say they<br />

want to live in their current homes throughout<br />

their retirement and beyond. Rather than being<br />

placed in a retirement facility, most people<br />

want to age in place in their family home, in the<br />

same community that they have known and<br />

felt safe in for years. This is especially true<br />

considering what 2020 brought us combined<br />

with the rising cost of living in shared facilities.<br />

Lead by Carla Berezowski, our team at Alberta<br />

Indoor Comfort know how important the home<br />

is to our clients. We work with all sorts of<br />

clients to make their homes safer and more<br />

comfortable. Our older clients hold a very<br />

special place in our hearts; they remind<br />

us of our parents. There are specific<br />

concerns that come along with aging and<br />

living alone that most companies are not<br />

aware of, or equipped to handle. Many<br />

people don’t think of their homes as<br />

dangerous places, yet as they age, things<br />

from poorly lit stairs to lose floorboards,<br />

uneven surfaces, and scalding water can<br />

significantly hurt if not taken care of.<br />

Carla is Canada’s authority and Certified<br />

Aging in Place Specialist and the only<br />

licensed CAPS trainer in the region. Our<br />

team benefits from Carla’s expertise.<br />

We instruct all members of our team in<br />

how to work with seniors and vulnerable<br />

to provide them with unique solutions<br />

to enhance their safety, security and<br />

comfort, broadly the Peace of Mind; after<br />

all, everyone has their unique perspective<br />

on risk tolerance and comfort. There is no<br />

other company like us in the Calgary and<br />

the surrounding broader region.<br />

Not only does Alberta Indoor Comfort<br />

focus on seniors, but we also help families<br />

of all ages create a safe and comfortable<br />

space. Our company supports families<br />

of all ages because each of our staff<br />

is someone with kids or aging parents;<br />

many of us are the sandwich generation,<br />

raising kids and supporting our deserving<br />

parents.We understand the specific<br />

challenges everyone faces and work with<br />

every client to develop solutions that are<br />

most appropriate to their unique lives. To<br />

clarify, Alberta Indoor Comfort is not a<br />

home care provider, it is a home services<br />

provider that looks after your home;<br />

having said that, Alberta Indoor Comfort<br />

works closely with leading home care<br />

providers and occupational therapists.<br />

we earned our clients’ trust and<br />

loyalty, supporting them with heating,<br />

cooling and air quality services. Sears<br />

departure provided us the opportunity<br />

to combine our other home services to<br />

become Alberta Indoor Comfort, which<br />

includes renovations needed to remain<br />

independent, in-home technology,<br />

plumbing and electrical services.<br />

Understanding that today’s world is more<br />

demanding and clients have less time<br />

to attend to their home, we continue to<br />

expand our trusted services for clients<br />

to rely on us for their total home needs<br />

& desires from roofs and gutters to<br />

appliance repair to basement flooring and<br />

beyond, a true single stop home services<br />

provider.<br />

Our clients’ time is precious. Why waste it<br />

screening new contractors and hoping all<br />

works out well for their families?<br />

Thankyou for your continued loyalty and<br />

confidence in our team.<br />

of mind if we did not source rebates, grants and<br />

funding options, including government programs,<br />

as well as payment and leasing programs.<br />

We are here to support you. Please do not hesitate<br />

to ask any questions<br />

Indoor Air Quality <strong>Solutions</strong><br />

Sick Building Syndrome and Chronic Illness?<br />

Symptoms of poor air:<br />

• Sore or irritated eyes<br />

• Feeling of suffocation<br />

• Dry sore throat, Coughing<br />

• Fatigue, Headaches<br />

• Agitation, Anxiety<br />

• Dizziness, Sleeplessness<br />

• Psoriasis, Palpitations<br />

• Nausea, Numbness<br />

• Cold sensitivity<br />

• Backaches<br />

Growing body of scientific evidence has indicated that the air inside<br />

our homes can be more seriously polluted than the outdoor air in even<br />

the largest and most industrialized cities. We spend 90% of time<br />

indoors, with elderly, chronically ill and young being at a potentially<br />

higher risk. According to US EPA, risks to health may be greater due<br />

to exposure to air pollution indoors than outdoors. TV’s 60Minutes<br />

showed how Sick Building Syndrome badly affected EPA’s offices.<br />

Science has shown that poor IAQ leads to weight gain.<br />

down air flow and make<br />

Radon Safety<br />

How Concerning is Radon Gas?<br />

According to the Canadian Cancer Society, Radon gas<br />

exposure is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers.<br />

100 Bq/m3 of chronic radon exposure is a significant increased<br />

lung cancer risk. A 2017 study found that radon levels are high<br />

in one of eight homes in the Calgary area.”<br />

Air Duct Systems<br />

Maintenance, Repair, and Cleaning<br />

Are your ducts leaky? Most duct systems<br />

leak 30-40% of the air produced by your<br />

furnace or air handler (wasted energy).<br />

That’s heat and A/C that never make it to<br />

the rooms in your home where they are<br />

needed. Dust also makes your system inefficient<br />

and perhaps if you’re experiencing<br />

recurring colds you may want to disinfect<br />

your ducts. Many times, duct sealing combined<br />

with an extra register will make an<br />

uncomfortable room feel great. Our service<br />

technicians are experts in making your<br />

home comfortable.<br />

Navigating The New Normal<br />

Remember your life before 2020? That normal is gone,<br />

forever most experts agree. Many, now and looking into<br />

the future, will work and study from home; most are<br />

uncertain if the person in the store or associates at work<br />

are healthy. People have shifted to digital exchange and<br />

most, for the longer term, will withdraw to their homes.<br />

New habits take about 2 months to form, we are past that.<br />

Bathroom Safety<br />

Unintentional falls send<br />

nearly 2,000 of every age<br />

Canadians to hospital every<br />

day, of which over 400 each<br />

day require hospital admissions:<br />

• Falls and slips are a<br />

leading cause of injury for<br />

all ages,<br />

• Falls are the most common<br />

way to suffer a brain injury,<br />

• Falls are responsible for<br />

over 90% of hip fractures.<br />

• Fall and slip victims on<br />

average miss 11 days of<br />

work (14 if hospitalized).<br />

• Most falls are<br />

preventable.<br />

“We all think of cancer and<br />

heart disease and strokes<br />

as being the big problem<br />

– they are serious and you<br />

do sometimes die of them<br />

– but you also find that falls<br />

are extremely common and<br />

although they don’t usually<br />

kill you straight away, sometimes<br />

they do” - Geoff Fernie,<br />

Toronto Rehabilitation<br />

Institute.<br />

Older adults, people with medical<br />

problems and those on certain<br />

medications are at a higher risk of<br />

falling, slipping and tripping in their<br />

home resulting in broken bones or more serious injuries. The<br />

bathroom, wet and slippery, is a place where falls are more likely<br />

to happen. Making changes in your bathroom helps lower your<br />

risk of falling, keeping you safe and comfortable at home.<br />

Falls are not the only risk posed in your bathroom, hot water<br />

scalds are also common. Even just the simple task of turning the<br />

water on and off can be challenging if you are losing strength in<br />

your hands due to arthritis. Knee and/or hip issues can make the<br />

every day, simple job of using the toilet challenging.<br />

And these risks are not age-specific. You probably know just<br />

how slippery a tub can be and how easy it is for kids to fall or slide<br />

below the surface of the water, or scald themselves in hot water.<br />

Our team at Alberta Indoor Comfort is specially trained in these<br />

safety issues and has many easyto-implement<br />

solutions ready<br />

for you and your family-specific<br />

desires. Everything from non-slip<br />

surfaces to anti-scald valves to<br />

grab bars and barrier-free showers<br />

– we have the knowledge to<br />

support your specific needs.<br />

Water Filters and Softeners<br />

Good news: no one<br />

makes pipes out of lead<br />

anymore, and most municipalities<br />

in our region<br />

have no lead pipes in<br />

their water system to<br />

your property line; you<br />

are responsible inside<br />

your home and property.<br />

The not-so good news:<br />

only since 1990, the Canadian<br />

National Plumbing<br />

Code has restricted<br />

the use of lead solder in<br />

pipe joints; older homes<br />

might still have lead<br />

pipes, especially within<br />

your property. Lead<br />

in water is bad for you<br />

even in trace amounts.<br />

So are many other metals,<br />

contaminants and<br />

impurities.<br />

If your hot water is not<br />

at 60 o C, you may also<br />

be breading bugs.<br />

Depending on your<br />

liking, there is also the<br />

hard water thing, that<br />

leads to nasty calcification.<br />

Water in your home, treated by your municipally or<br />

Water Heaters & Steam Showers<br />

Correct Temperature?<br />

The Occupational Safety<br />

& Health Administration<br />

(OSHA) recommends<br />

water heaters be set to<br />

at least 60 o C (140 o F)<br />

to minimize the growth<br />

of Legionella and other<br />

microorganisms.<br />

There is no denying that we all love hot water and that<br />

we want it to flow hot until we are done. Many of us<br />

grew up using the traditional hot water tank heaters<br />

while others know tankless on-demand heaters well.<br />

Careful ! Water that<br />

is too hot is potentially<br />

more dangerous, especially<br />

for kids and seniors<br />

as it take less than<br />

two seconds to burn.<br />

Not to mention, if set too<br />

high, this can increase<br />

your bill.<br />

Yet, every house is<br />

different. The further a<br />

faucet is from the water<br />

heater, the more heat<br />

is lost, especially if your<br />

home’s pipes are not<br />

insulated, requiring you<br />

to raise the temperature.<br />

Traditional Tanked<br />

On Demand Tankless<br />

Both <strong>Solutions</strong> Are Great, yet Tankless is Better:<br />

✔ Never Runs out of Hot Water, Even with Kids!<br />

✔ Cost Savings from 30% Higher Efficiency<br />

✔ Does Not Store and Reheat Water<br />

✔ 10 Year Longer Life Expectancy<br />

✔ Improved <strong>Home</strong> Safety and NO Floods<br />

✔ Compact, Space Saving Design<br />

✔ Great for Secondary Suites Water and Heat Needs.<br />

Hard start mornings? Feel great with a Steam Shower.<br />

Confused ? We will<br />

help you with the best<br />

solution for your family’s<br />

desires and your home’s<br />

unique constraints.<br />

Why <strong>Home</strong>owners Should Ask For Proof Of Insurance<br />

We get this insurance question a lot so thought this was a good time to comment on why you should<br />

ask workers for proof of insurance. Asking the insurance question is very important. If a service worker<br />

does not have insurance and causes damage on a homeowner’s property, the homeowner may be on<br />

the hook to pay for it. The same is true if an uninsured worker is injured. Hired workers who do not carry<br />

insurance tend to be less responsible than those who do, so asking about coverage is also a good way<br />

to determine whether someone will be a reliable worker. It is always best to pay a little more for someone<br />

who is insured than to take the risk of hiring an uninsured worker. Avoid taking a person’s word if<br />

he or she says there is insurance. A verbal confirmation will do no good if the person is actually injured<br />

while being uninsured. Our WCB # 3727275.<br />

Alberta Indoor<br />

Comfort<br />

<strong>Home</strong>owner’s maintenance checklist<br />

Like a car, your home needs regular maintenance<br />

and occasional tune-ups to stay in tip-top shape.<br />

Fortunately, you can complete most of the following<br />

tasks yourself by following this season-by-season<br />

schedule of indoor and outdoor maintenance.<br />

Regular home maintenance is essential to ensure<br />

a safe and efficient home. It’s a good idea to set<br />

aside some money in your budget each month for<br />

home maintenance and repair. As a rule of thumb,<br />

homeowners spend between 1% and 3% of their<br />

home’s value on maintenance and repair each year.<br />

Following this maintenance checklist on a regular<br />

basis can help your home look its best, keep utility bills<br />

down and prevent more costly repairs in the future.<br />

SPRING HOME MAINTENANCE<br />

In spring, focus on freshening up your home and protecting<br />

your property against the season’s strong winds and rains.<br />

Outdoor Tasks:<br />

Clean gutters and downspouts. Learn how to maintain your<br />

gutters.<br />

Inspect roof and chimney for cracks and damage.<br />

Touch up peeling or damaged paint.<br />

Wash all windows, inside and out.<br />

Install screens on windows and doors.<br />

Clean outdoor furniture and air out cushions.<br />

Service your lawn mower.<br />

Fertilize your lawn.<br />

Indoor Tasks:<br />

Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors when you set<br />

clocks forward.<br />

If your basement has a sump pump, test it by dumping a<br />

large bucket of water into the basin of the sump pump.<br />

This should activate the sump pump. If it does not switch<br />

on or if it’s not pumping water, it may need to be serviced<br />

by a professional. Also, check for and remove any debris<br />

and make sure there are no leaks.<br />

Wash and change seasonal bedding.<br />

Dust blinds and vacuum curtains throughout your house.<br />

Clean kitchen and bathroom cabinets and throw away<br />

outdated food, medicine and cosmetics.<br />

Inspect attic fan to make sure there are no animal nests<br />

and test properly<br />

Have air conditioner outside professionally inspected<br />

Test whole home generator for proper function<br />

Test panel circuit breakers<br />

SUMMER HOME MAINTENANCE<br />

In summer, complete the following projects to keep your<br />

yard lush and your home cool.<br />

Outdoor Tasks:<br />

Prune trees and shrubs.<br />

Remove lint from dryer exhaust vent with a long,<br />

flexible brush.<br />

Uncover central air conditioner.<br />

Indoor Tasks:<br />

Change or clean heating, ventilating and air<br />

conditioning filters. Consult manufacturer instructions<br />

for your furnace to determine whether you need to<br />

change filters more frequently. Learn more about<br />

choosing a filter. Get information on cleaning or<br />

replacing your HVAC filters.<br />

Clean kitchen appliances inside and out, including<br />

refrigerator coils.<br />

Maintain clean drains by adding a half-cup of baking<br />

soda followed by a half-cup of white vinegar. After 10<br />

minutes, flush with boiling water.<br />

Drain or flush water heater.<br />

Test all homes GFCI receptacles<br />

Change any water filters for water quality<br />

FALL HOME MAINTENANCE<br />

In fall, prepare your home and yard for cooler temperatures,<br />

falling leaves and more hours spent indoors.<br />

Outdoor Tasks:<br />

Clean gutters and downspouts. Make sure all drainage<br />

areas are unblocked by leaves and debris. Consider<br />

installing gutter guards to make the job a lot easier.<br />

Inspect your roof, or hire a licensed professional to<br />

examine your roof for wear and tear. If the shingles are<br />

curling, buckling or crackling, replace them. If you have<br />

a lot of damage, it’s time to replace the entire roof.<br />

Also, check the flashing around skylights, pipes and<br />

chimneys. If you have any leaks or gaps, heavy snow<br />

and ice will find its way in.<br />

Run generator and thru a test cycle.<br />

Check basement and crawl spaces for any cracks and<br />

moisture that needs to be sealed<br />

Remove hoses from spigots and drain and store<br />

indoors, coiled and flat.<br />

Store outdoor furniture and cushions.<br />

Test all outside floodlights and motion sensors.<br />

Use a screwdriver to probe the wood trim around<br />

windows, doors, railings and decks. Use caulk to fill the<br />

holes or completely replace the wood.<br />

the weather gets below freezing, turn off the valves to<br />

the exterior hose bibs. Run the water until the pipes<br />

are empty. Make sure all the water is drained from the<br />

pipes, if not; the water can freeze up and damage the<br />

pipes.<br />

make fall a good time to paint the exterior of your<br />

home.<br />

Indoor Tasks:<br />

Check grout and silicone in bathtubs and showers and<br />

seal if needed.<br />

Have furnace professionally inspected.<br />

Test sump pumps for proper operation (check battery backup).<br />

Change the air filter for your furnace.<br />

Inspect ducts and decide if duct cleaning is needed<br />

before major allergies hit.<br />

Check indicator lights on all homes surge protectors<br />

Test all homes GFCI receptacles<br />

Change any water filters for water quality<br />

batteries and replace if necessary.<br />

Clothes Dryer - Vacuum the lint from ducts and<br />

surrounding areas.<br />

Refrigerator - Vacuum condenser coils to increase<br />

energy efficiency.<br />

WINTER HOME MAINTENANCE<br />

In winter, enjoy energy-efficient warmth and the fruits of<br />

your home-maintenance labors. Use this time of the year<br />

to thoroughly clean and care for your home’s interior while<br />

taking a few precautionary measures on the outside.<br />

Outdoor Tasks:<br />

Walk around your home’s exterior and check the crawl<br />

space vents located at the foundation. Close any that<br />

are open.<br />

Protect your central air conditioning unit with a cover.<br />

Clean and store garden tools.<br />

Move snow shovels and snow blowers to a convenient<br />

spot. Stock your ice melting compound to melt ice on<br />

walkways.<br />

Indoor Tasks:<br />

Change or clean furnace filters. Consult manufacturer<br />

instructions for your furnace to determine how<br />

frequently the filters should be replaced.<br />

Clean kitchen appliances inside and out, including<br />

refrigerator coils.<br />

Maintain clean drains by adding BioClean product.<br />

Foundation - Check for moisture and cracks that are<br />

expanding inside and outside.<br />

Chimney - Clean out the chimney to remove buildup<br />

of flammable substances. Have a professional look at<br />

your chimney every year or every other year to prevent<br />

a fire hazard during the winter months<br />

Water Heater - Drain the water heater until it is clear of<br />

sediment and refill with clean water. (This will extend<br />

the life of your water heater.)<br />

Heating and Cooling System - Change all filters.<br />

(Depending on the type of filters you use, this may<br />

need to be done as often as once a month.)<br />

Get your furnace tuned up. If a heating and cooling<br />

specialist hasn’t taken a look at your furnace in the last<br />

year it’s time to give them a call.<br />

Exhaust Fans - Clean grill and fan blades.<br />

Garbage Disposal - Flush with hot water and baking<br />

soda.<br />

Doors and Windows - Lubricate hinges and moving<br />

parts; polish metal hardware.<br />

Garage Door - Clean and lubricate hinges, rollers, and<br />

tracks.<br />

Flooring - Shampoo carpets and wax floors.<br />

Caulking and Grout - Inspect caulking and grout around<br />

tubs, showers, and sinks and reapply if necessary.<br />

Fire Extinguishers - Check to see if they are fully<br />

charged and recharge or replace if necessary.<br />
