1 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: Well, the weekend is upon us. Welcome You're at home 2 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: with Garry Sullivan. This hour has brought to you by 3 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: Easy Breed Ventilation system, which creates air exchanges from the 4 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: lowest levels of your home. It removes the most polluted 5 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: air from the structure, making the room well have a 6 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: little cleaner air because it's exhausting the bear bad air 7 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: bringing in the good air. In fact, we'll talk to 8 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: the owner of Easy Breathe at the bottom of this 9 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: hour and hopefully have a good conversation and help you 10 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: understand kind of what's going on on the inside of 11 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: our homes. And it's been going on for a while, 12 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: probably since we started tightening up our homes, which was 13 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: a little about nineteen eighty right, and the tighter we 14 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: make them, the more we're looking at the importance of 15 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: exchanging air. I think the EPA is talking about our 16 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: indoor air quality five times worse than the outdoor air quality. 17 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,839 Speaker 1: So hope you can stick around and listen to our conversation. 18 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: If you have to depart, you can always pick it 19 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: up via podcast that's on the iHeart app and Daniel 20 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: have it listed and you can take a listen in 21 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: your leisure time.

How are things going. 25 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: I'm fine, thank you. 26 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 2: I am a sports time long time all right. Know, 27 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 2: I listen a lot. I actually talked to mister Wilson 28 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago and he helped me out there. 29 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 2: You go, yeah, yeah, no, he had a great ideas. 30 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 2: So my question to you is this in the past 31 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 2: and envision linoleum, you know, like a sheet good And 32 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 2: on top of that, One time I put a rubber 33 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 2: backed throw rug and you know what happened. It turned 34 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 2: yellow underneath and there's no way to get rid of it, 35 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 2: so I guess it just leached up whatever. Yeah, there 36 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:38,959 Speaker 2: was Michael, go ahead, Okay, no, you go ahead, and 37 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what my quandary is. 38 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a time. I think there was some 39 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: issues with that in vinyl. I don't know if anything's 40 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: really changed, but vinyls and rubber they do have a 41 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: tendency to create a little chemical reaction and make it 42 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: kind of a tan color beneath, especially lighter vinyls. 43 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 2: And that's what we're talking about all right, so, but 44 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 2: but now here's the new situation. Having learned from that 45 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 2: in the past and having to pay my apartments to 46 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 2: replace that sheet vinyl right when I move, I now 47 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 2: have LDT okay, and I and I'm looking to get 48 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 2: small just accent throw rugs, and most of them now 49 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 2: that I see, have some sort of rubbery type non 50 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 2: slip uh slip resisting coating on it. And I just 51 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 2: want to well, that same thing happened. 52 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: Well I have not had any reports on it happening. 53 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: I have not. So when you say with the LVT, 54 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: that's a little bit different. Is it a light color? 55 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 2: Also, it's you know what I'm going to say, it's 56 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 2: like khaki color. 57 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. 58 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 2: And actually and they have that deeper wood graining. 59 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: To be real honest, John, that when you started describing it, 60 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: it was like deja vous. I was like, gosh, that 61 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: used to be a call we got all the time. 62 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: And I bet I haven't had a call like that 63 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: in fifteen years. 64 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 2: Okay, So I about how long ago it was that 65 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 2: I called you. 66 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, So I don't know if it's got that problem 67 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: is just went away. They changed the formulation. I'd have 68 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 1: to do some research because I've just not had that 69 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: issue with people calling and chatting. I know, I've got 70 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: a kind of a throw rug in the front door. 71 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: It's over a wood floor, which is your thane. It 72 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: is a solvent, your thane, and it's got kind of 73 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: a foam throw not on the rug, but a separate 74 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: foam throw that. Then the rug sits on top of 75 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: for it's not a slipping there's no discoloration from that. 76 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: I just haven't really run into that problem in the 77 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: last twenty years. So maybe the manufacturers of those rugs 78 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: kind of got wind of it and changed the formulation. 79 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: That's that's the best answer I have. I just don't 80 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: know it being a problem right now. 81 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: Okay, and then secondary you you you spoke about it 82 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 2: just now. The the separate uh runner pad things, and 83 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 2: I'm doing a terrible job describing. 84 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: I don't know what they are. 85 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the waffles. How is that typically on vinyls 86 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 2: and LBT, because I do have some of that left over. 87 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I again, I just haven't had any issues on that. 88 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: I've got it, like I said, on a wood floor, 89 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: I don't have it on vinyl, but I've had no discoloration. 90 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: I bet We've had it there, that that waffle membrane 91 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: underneath that a carpet for probably twenty years and wow, 92 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: you know, and it's got a big window above it. 93 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: It just hasn't been a problem. But we used to 94 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: have them really with those oh gosh, those those mats 95 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: that you would stand on them maybe like in front 96 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: of the sink on vinyl, those were always a problem. Yeah, 97 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: those were always an issue. So I don't know. I 98 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: guess the only way to be really sure maybe is 99 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: maybe call a independently owned flooring store and ask them 100 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: if they've had any trouble with the LVTs. But I 101 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 1: personally have not had any calls, have not had any 102 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: feedback that that's an issue anymore. 103 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 2: Okay, all right, well I'll give it a shot. I'll try. 104 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 2: I'll do a little experimentation and make a couple of 105 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 2: phone calls. 106 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: There you go, let me know. 107 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I appreciate thank you so much. I appreciate your 108 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 2: help as always. 109 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: You're quite welcome. Thank you. Yeah, that's a boy that 110 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: used to be a problem, even vinyl sheet goods. I'm 111 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: trying to think of the name of the product that 112 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: we could clean that up with. In Holloway House was 113 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: a floor cleaner. If you had vinyl sheet goods and 114 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: maybe you hit an asphalt driveway, that was a problem too. 115 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: It would be the oils from the oils we'd get 116 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: on your shoes and you could actually start to see 117 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: traffic patterns. It would react with the vinyl. But as 118 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: far as I know, on those fatigue mats and different 119 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: things like that, I just don't hear that issue at 120 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: all anymore. Maybe because there's not as many fatigue mats, 121 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: maybe they changed the formulation of it. Maybe who knows, 122 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: But that used to be a very prevalent question. That 123 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: is no longer a problem that I know of, So 124 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: I think you're probably good to go. Probably a lot 125 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: of water based products now being used and that would 126 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: eliminate that. All right, let's go to Barb. Barb. Welcome, Hi, 127 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: How are you doing fine? Thank you. 128 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 3: Barb purchased my houst thirteen years ago. The irrigation system 129 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 3: was in already, and I've been using it probably about 130 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 3: three years ago. The gentleman who does it said that 131 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 3: the chipmunks were chewing through my wires. So last year 132 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 3: he finally fixed it for me, and this year, when 133 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 3: he turned off my irrigation system. He told me again 134 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 3: that the chipmunks raiding the wires. I don't understand why 135 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, but is there anything that I 136 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 3: can do to alleviate that because you know two and 137 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 3: seventy five dollars, well. 138 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: I think I would, you know, talk to him about 139 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: you know, what can be you know changed, And I 140 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: know one of the things might be to put those 141 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: wires maybe in a conduit, especially if it's is it 142 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 1: right against the foundation, Maybe we kind of straight line 143 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: wires going to I don't know what kind of lighting 144 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: you have, but lighting or or landscape watering, you know, 145 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: sprinkler system. Maybe we could put those wires in some 146 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: sort of conduit. What it what it could be is 147 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: there is a coding on wires that is soy based, 148 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,479 Speaker 1: and they think it's a food product. 149 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 2: Okay. 150 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: And I ran into that with Christmas lights about ten 151 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: years ago, and people people would even call that somebody's 152 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: cutting my lights. And that's what I thought, somebody's cutting 153 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: my lights. Looking into it, the Christmas lights had a 154 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: soy based system for the wiring and the rabbits would 155 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: bite through that. And we hear on different things too 156 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: with squirrels, chipmunks. I would ask your irrigation company. You know, 157 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: this is two years in a row. I can't give 158 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: you three hundred dollars to replaced wires every year. What 159 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: can we do, you know, talk to them about the wiring, 160 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: talk to them about com do it. You know you're 161 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: going to have to do something to protect them because 162 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: this is starting to become repetitive, right, so we need 163 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 1: to change the Yeah, yeah, it. 164 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 3: Just doesn't make any sense after all this time, now 165 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 3: they decided to just go into the box and start 166 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 3: eating them. It's okay, I thought, you know, so that's 167 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 3: a good thing about knowing that they could have soy 168 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 3: on them. 169 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: Yeah.

Also, all right, let's get back to 231 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: the phone calls. We've got Jeff, Jeff welcome. Hey Gary, Yes, sir, 232 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: I got an. 233 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 7: Eighty year old brickhouse and the foundation is pretty much dilapidated, 234 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 7: and it's crumbling on the brick outside and the walls 235 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 7: in the basement. But I got to put a new 236 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 7: roof on it. And sometimes you gotta do. I just 237 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 7: put an brand new eight thousand dollars h back in it. 238 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 7: Sometimes you gotta do. 239 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 240 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 7: Sometimes, hey, listen, if the roof's not leaking. Sometimes you 241 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 7: gotta do what you gotta do. So here's the thing 242 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 7: I'm trying to figure out. I got two layers of 243 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 7: asphalt shingles on the roof that need to be removed, 244 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 7: and I'm wondering whether I should go metal or another 245 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 7: single layer of asphalt shingles. 246 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: Well, that's a great question, and it's wait a minute, 247 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: wait a minute. 248 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 7: And here's the other thing. So since we've got a 249 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 7: new HVAC system in and we've got good cooling now 250 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 7: and heating, uh, heat really isn't the factor, and we've 251 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 7: got good ventilation in the attics, so go ahead. 252 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: Well, it's there's a big difference in cost. Number one 253 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: too is asphalt shingles have improved in quality and in 254 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: wind ratings. So, but a metal roof is more energy 255 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: efficient than an asphalt shingle, So there are some pluses. 256 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: And then metal roof's gonna last you fifty plus years, 257 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: and uh, typically. 258 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 7: I'm alive for more than about five month. 259 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: And that's why I always tell people how long are 260 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: you gonna be in the house? You know, I mean 261 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: a metal roofing, I mean quite Elas you have the 262 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: metal roofing, they're beautiful. I mean they are just absolutely gorgeous. 263 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 7: What's that Wait, wait a minute now, now, now regarding 264 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 7: the heating and efficiency of a roof, that's really where 265 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 7: my issue is is one we got snow, how fast 266 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 7: does it melt? And when we got summertime? And how 267 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 7: hot does a roof get? 268 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: You know, well, those are what they have. Is it's 269 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: the coating on the metal, on the metal itself is 270 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: it's a reflective coating, so it doesn't It's kind of 271 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: like a radiant barrier, if you will. So it's kind 272 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: of like having a shade tree over your house. I 273 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: don't think it's really going to hurt or speed up 274 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: snow melting or anything, because it's going to be covered 275 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: at that point. But you know, from a heat standpoint 276 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: and air conditioning costs, it'll be very beneficial. I'm sure 277 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: you can get all the data you ever want about 278 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: metal roofing. There's a national website simply metalroofing dot com. 279 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: I would go there if you're interested. 280 00:16:59,200 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 7: Thank you for that. 281 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: But a metal roof, I mean they're beautiful. They last, 282 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 1: I say forever, but nothing's forever, we all know that. 283 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: But it'll last your lifetime. 284 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 7: The question is, well, I just had I just replaced 285 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 7: my furnace, and and and when I'm telling you some 286 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 7: of Gary, this is this is, this is going to 287 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 7: freak you out. But it's also going to scare your 288 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 7: audience when flames start flowing out of your furnace and you're, uh, 289 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 7: what is it called the the the exchange? That's it. 290 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 7: There you go, when that plate burns through after fifty 291 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 7: years of usage, you turn that baby off and call 292 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 7: your furnace Yeah, before you blow your neighbors up to 293 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 7: is that? I mean, oh my god, Gary, that was 294 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 7: something else. I mean, the the the flow valve was 295 00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 7: absolutely hot. The furnace plate was oh my yeah, I'm 296 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 7: just glad I'm alive today. 297 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. I hear you. I hear you. But really, if 298 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: it is a cost thing, Jeff, on the roof, I 299 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: would go with an asphalt. I think a metal roof 300 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: can be looked at as a luxury. There's certainly some 301 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: energy benefits out of it, but it is a luxury. 302 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: It's probably two two and a half times the cost 303 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 1: of an asphalt shingled roof. 304 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 7: What's about what about the uh, the loss of heat though, 305 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,679 Speaker 7: I mean from the house is there a loss of 306 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:37,120 Speaker 7: heat there. 307 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 1: Well, there's always a loss of heat there, but your 308 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: ventilation and your insulation. I always say the two most 309 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: important components on a roof job is also you know, 310 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: ventilation and insulation. That's kind of taken care of the 311 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: lost part of it. The metal roofing increases the heat 312 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: from getting there to begin with, so they're kind of 313 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,439 Speaker 1: work talking on two different levels. It's going to be 314 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: a benefit on the metal roof for energy costs, but 315 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 1: at two and a half time in the cost, probably 316 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,719 Speaker 1: the payback's not there. If you're playing on being in 317 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: the house. I tell people fifteen twenty years, I'd really 318 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,360 Speaker 1: consider a metal roof. If you're going to be there 319 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 1: ten fifteen years, you know, then it's up to year. 320 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: Do you want the luxury or not?

Now, in northern 364 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: parts of the country, it's gotten a little chillier. We've 365 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: got our windows closed, we got them locked. A lot 366 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: of people maybe turning their heat on now, and you 367 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 1: know this summer, and even right now, when you go 368 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: down into your basement, which we're all using our basements 369 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: more than probably ever before, working from home, working out 370 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: that type of thing, a theater area, play area for 371 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: the kids. Can you smell the difference when you go 372 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: down the steps. That's what I want to talk to, 373 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: Erica Laqui from she is with easy breathing, Erica, how 374 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 1: in the world are you. 375 00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 8: I'm doing great, Gary, thanks for asking. 376 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what basements cross spaces. People got 377 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: to realize they need to be ventilated and tell everybody 378 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: why really, I mean, we got to get to the 379 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: bottom of this. I know people are becoming more educated 380 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: about this. And when they start smelling just every day 381 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 1: odors down in the basement and stuff that, I think 382 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,400 Speaker 1: there's starting to wake up that something's got to be done. 383 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 8: Absolutely. And one of the best analogies I can give is, 384 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 8: you know, we always talk about air behaves like water, 385 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 8: and a really great analogy to kind of help people 386 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 8: understand is when you see a stagnant body of water, 387 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 8: like a pond. You see lots of right microbial growth 388 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 8: on the shore and maybe some scum on the top 389 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 8: of the pond, and lots of plant life, and you know, 390 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 8: organisms living in that stagnant environment. Air is the same way. 391 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 8: When air is stagnant, you will see lots of microbial growth, fungus, bacteria, molds, mildews. 392 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 8: Things hang out and stagnate and build up to very dangerous, 393 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 8: unhealthy concentration levels. So there's a higher concentration of all 394 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 8: of that mucky gunky, you know, indoor air quality particles, 395 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 8: you know, the bad stuff in the air. And then 396 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 8: you look at a moving body of water, like a 397 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 8: stream or a river, and oftentimes you can see right 398 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 8: through to the river rocks not being grows on the bank. 399 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 8: It's moving, it's clearer, it's cleaner, it doesn't allow things 400 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 8: to stagnate and grow. And air is the same way. 401 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 8: If we can keep the air moving, you can keep 402 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 8: all of those nasty things at day, no mildews, no molds. 403 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 8: We're creating air exchanges and we're removing that damp, stagnant, 404 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 8: oftentimes sticky humid. You know, it's thick, it's got an odor, 405 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 8: it smells musty. We remove that bad air to the outside, 406 00:24:55,480 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 8: making space for cleaner, dryer air to cascades down in 407 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 8: to that space, replenishing it and again keeping things moving 408 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 8: so nothing can. 409 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: Grow right, right, And really, when you think about the 410 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 1: air in the basement, it's kind of like the dead zone. 411 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 1: It's down there, yes exactly, it's heavy and it's just 412 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: sitting there. And then we turn our furnaces on it 413 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: or our air handlers, and I mean, is it safe 414 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: to say it starts moving it throughout the house. 415 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,640 Speaker 4: Then well, certainly there's intakes in that lower. 416 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 8: Level, right, So when those things turn on and we 417 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 8: and we get those calls all the time, very seasonally 418 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 8: this time of year. Why do I smell my basement 419 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 8: in my second floor? What I can smell my basement 420 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 8: in the kitchen, And a lot of it has to 421 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,919 Speaker 8: do with not only the air migrating upwards from the 422 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 8: stack effect, which we all know heat rises, so that 423 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 8: brings all that itcky stagnant air up through the home, 424 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 8: but also it can be districted throughout the home with 425 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 8: the air handler once you turn the heat on, so 426 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 8: lots of different ways that air in the basement does 427 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 8: not stay in the basement. I think that's one of 428 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 8: the biggest you know, people don't understand that, Oh it's 429 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 8: the basement. I don't need to worry about that. No, 430 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 8: basement is possibly the largest contributor to bad indoor air 431 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 8: quality that the home has to worry about. 432 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 4: You don't have to worry about the garage. 433 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 8: We were at the attic. The basement is probably the 434 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,880 Speaker 8: largest contributor to pour indoor air quality because of that 435 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 8: natural tendency for heat to rise and draw all that 436 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 8: you know, sure, allergens and bacterias and muldsports. You know, 437 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 8: people know that instinctively when they open the basement door. 438 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 8: Sometimes it hits you right in the face or halfway 439 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 8: down the steps you start to smell that odor. 440 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: So the secret, folks as homeowners is we have to 441 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 1: remove that air in the basement. An easy breathe isn't 442 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: a filtering system. Turning a fan on isn't going to 443 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 1: take care of your problem. You've got to remove the problem. 444 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 1: That's the whole key. That's the ventilation part, right Erica. 445 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 8: That's right, well said Gary. Because people have questions about, 446 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 8: you know, the humidifier or an air purifier or some 447 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 8: sort of scrubber and UV lights, and we're big fans 448 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 8: of anything that's going to help improve into air quality, 449 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 8: don't get me wrong, but a lot of those things 450 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 8: cost a lot of money to maintain. Filters, buckets, you know, 451 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 8: replacing lights, and it really just recirculates that same air. 452 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 8: It may be trying to change the molecular structure of 453 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 8: the air from you know, airborne vapor to liquid water. 454 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 8: It's just a lot of movement for very little result. 455 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 4: And the simple solution that we're big proponents. 456 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 8: Of is simply ventilating the space. We can have a 457 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 8: much bigger impact on the indoor air quality at much 458 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 8: smaller effort and expense by just creating air exchanges and 459 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 8: you just get rid of that air. We're not going 460 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 8: to treat it and recycle it and you know, keep 461 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 8: filtering it and worrying about is the filter? 462 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 4: You know, how often did to change it. It's just 463 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 4: this is a setate. Forget it. 464 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 8: Ventilate the space. It creates significantly improvement in the indoor airport. 465 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 8: We reduce indoor air particulates up to eighty five percent. 466 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 8: So really, and you just think about that pond and 467 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 8: all the scum why people put fountains in the pond. 468 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: Why don't you. 469 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 8: Start moving the air or moving the water. Just like air, 470 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 8: things change, That's right, exactly. 471 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, I know the EPA says six out of 472 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: every ten homes and buildings are sick, meaning they are 473 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: hazards to your health to occupy just because of airborne pollutants. 474 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: And you've got a letter from a customer that installed 475 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: an easy breathe, which you shared with me a couple 476 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: of weeks ago, and you and I can, you know, 477 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: talk about all the facts and everything. I think this 478 00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: lady's experience was exactly what you're preaching. There is an 479 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: amazing turnaround in her home and in her son's health. 480 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, wasn't that just every day we go 481 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 8: to work, and you know, this is what keeps us 482 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 8: going is people like that that you know, basically tell 483 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 8: us how much their indoor air quality has changed. And 484 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 8: you know, specifically when the children's playroom is now you 485 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 8: know they're not coughing anymore. Within twenty four hours, her 486 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 8: little boy is no longer coughing down in the basement. 487 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 4: And to me, that is why we get up and 488 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 4: go to work, as. 489 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 8: We really do make a significant improvement in people's lifestyles 490 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 8: and their health and their health of their home, protecting 491 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 8: their home from you know, the dangerous chemicals, rough pollutant standards, allergens, 492 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 8: you know, all those nasty things that live in the basement. 493 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 8: So just they're just gone, which is yeah, you know, 494 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 8: we love that. 495 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 4: I mean, that's what drives. 496 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a great letter. And I had told 497 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: you it was probably a couple of years ago now 498 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: that I have an easy breathe in my home and 499 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: I had unplugged it because you start taking it for granted. 500 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: It just you know, I mean, the air in my 501 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 1: home is smells well, there's no problem. And what you 502 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: know is this easy breed. I unplugged it within twenty 503 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: four hours. I tell the difference.

The maintenance of it 678 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 1: is basically nothing to the Easy Breathe. 679 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,359 Speaker 8: Well, that is one of everyone's favorite favorite things about 680 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 8: Easy breaths. We say, set it and forget it. And 681 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 8: like you were talking about the humidity, right, So we 682 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:56,239 Speaker 8: set the humidity dial to winter summer mode or if 683 00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 8: you want constant ventilation, that's an option too. It's very customizable. 684 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 8: That's other bonus about Easy Breathe. And so you set 685 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 8: it to that humidity level, the unit will operate until 686 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,400 Speaker 8: that humidity level is reached, and then once it's reached, 687 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:10,759 Speaker 8: the unit cycles off. 688 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,320 Speaker 4: Because that's one of the big questions it's going to exhaust. 689 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 8: All my heat in the winter, all my heat is 690 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,239 Speaker 8: going to said no, no, no, we're going to set it. 691 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 8: It's forty percent, and as soon as that forty or 692 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 8: forty five whatever is comfortable, when that humidity levels reach, 693 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,839 Speaker 8: the unit will cycle off, the dampers will close, and 694 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 8: it will sit at rest until that humidity level because 695 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 8: inevitably it will rise. That's the nature of these right 696 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:39,919 Speaker 8: underground spaces, that's right, and it'll start ventilating and again 697 00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,759 Speaker 8: cycle on and off as needed based on how the 698 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:46,879 Speaker 8: homeowner sets it. So that's you know, can rest put 699 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:50,160 Speaker 8: everybody's fears at rest. This will not exhaust your heat. 700 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 8: It won't exhaust your air conditioning. 701 00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,720 Speaker 4: In the summer. It will only operate when that damp 702 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:56,319 Speaker 4: you know. 703 00:40:56,360 --> 00:41:00,279 Speaker 8: Dirty air is present in those lower you know, we 704 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,719 Speaker 8: say eighteen to twenty four inches off the floor, so 705 00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:06,919 Speaker 8: we really are we're exacuating the worst, dampest, dirtiest air 706 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,960 Speaker 8: first and then throughout that we'll do complete home er 707 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,080 Speaker 8: exchanges over the course of a few days, you know, 708 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,840 Speaker 8: like our call or our letter said, you know, within 709 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,880 Speaker 8: three days they noticed one hundred percent improvement in the basement. 710 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 4: Sure it doesn't take long. 711 00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,960 Speaker 1: Sure.
