Anyone who thinks choice is a good thing has never been to a home show. I decided to
drop in on one recently to check out the goods. Who knew there were so many things to
put in, on, and around your home? If you want to increase the value of your home by
adding a few bells and whistles here and there, don’t go into it blindly. To choose
products that give the most bang for your buck, think in this order: health, wealth
and happiness.

Health
As the old saying goes, “If you don’t have your health, you don’t have anything.” And
this definitely applies to making home purchases. Select the products that will improve
the health of your home, such as a water purification system or non-toxic, low-VOC paints
to protect your lungs.
One of the most important purchases you can make for your home is a whole-home air
filtration system such as the American Standard AccuClean™. It removes up to 99.98%
of allergens and pollutants in the air. And clean air is vital to having a healthy home.

Wealth
Purchases that save you money in the long run are always good investments for your
home. A programmable thermostat will shave off heating and cooling costs every time
you run your system. Double-pane windows with high-efficient glass will also save you
big bucks on your utility bills. If you are thinking about getting some new appliances,
look for the Energy Star™ label to ensure you have an efficient piece of equipment. The
Energy Star label can be found on everything from refrigerators to washing machines to air conditioners,
including those from American Standard Heating and Air Conditioning.

Happiness
After you ensure a healthy and cost-saving home, you can finally splurge on all of those
tasty little tidbits here and there that make a house a home. Go through your home and
see how it appeals to the senses. Think visually. Is it time for a new paint job? Does the
flooring need to be refinished? Can you finally indulge in that new home sound system
that you’ve been admiring? If you smell any lingering odors, think back to the health of
your home and get that air filtration system, such as AccuClean™ by American Standard Heating & Air Conditioning.
Happiness is in the process. So enjoy your home today as you make it into the home you
will have tomorrow.
