Ryan Johnstone, the owner and operator of Homemetrics Inspection Services, brings decades of his extensive construction background to every inspection.  As a journeyman carpenter, who has served as construction manager for a non-profit home builder, site superintendent, subcontractor and business owner).  He has overseen many projects from foundation to finish.  This hands-on experience gives him an understanding of building science and construction practices to give his clients a reliable, unbiased inspection.

"Having a background in construction,  I am often asked by friends and family to do jobs or assess aspects of their homes.  When a friend asked me to help them look for a new home, I was happy to help.  In doing so, I found this very satisfying and felt like it was a natural fit to transition my skills and experience to becoming a home inspector” – Ryan Johnstone.

Meet Sanctuary Spas & Re-Creation: Saskatoon & Areas Premier Hot Tub Haven!

From the moment I stepped into Sanctuary Spas & Re-Creation, located just a short drive on the outskirts of Warman, Saskatchewan. I felt a genuine warmth and welcome. The space is beautiful and stocked with an impressive wall of hot tub chemicals, filters and supplies. There is an atmosphere of undeniable calm and relaxation.

I had the pleasure of meeting owners Lauren and Julie Penner, a dynamic husband-and-wife duo and proud parents of two delightful children. Lauren’s journey into the hot tub industry began in 2002 when he transitioned from training as an auto mechanic to working as a hot tub service technician. After years in the field, an opportunity to acquire a local hot tub repair business inspired them to establish Unaffiliated Hot Tub Home Care. Their focus on honest repairs over purchasing a new hot tub quickly earned them a loyal clientele who appreciated their integrity.

Perhaps the refrigerator is not the first appliance you think of when it comes to curbing your energy use, but you must reassess how you use it — especially during the summer months.

If your appliance is over 15 years old, you might want to consider shopping for a new refrigerator, as Energy Star® certified models have become more widely available. While the initial cost for a newer unit may be high, you will save more money in the long run regarding energy use. Here are other ways you can protect your refrigerator from overworking.

1. Close that door!

Regarding refrigerators, the easiest and most obvious way to ensure yours will use less energy is to avoid standing in front of an open appliance for a prolonged period. When you open the fridge or freezer door, cold air escapes, and the longer you dawdle, the more energy will be required to restore the interior temperature to the intended setting. Making decisions before cracking open your fridge or freezer allows you to limit the number of times you open these compartments daily.

2. Avoid heat

When your refrigerator is near heat sources, the compressor kicks things into high gear to keep your foods chilled. Not only does this force your refrigerator to work harder, but it also results in a needless waste of energy. To prevent it from working in overdrive, it is wise to keep your refrigerator away from direct sunlight. For the same reasons, when designing your kitchen, install your refrigerator away from your cook station and any appliances that may emit high heat. We recommend allowing your leftovers to cool before putting them in the fridge. The idea behind this is that you would reduce the amount of heat added to the fresh-food compartment. While this solution seems to leave a small impact, you won’t think so after seeing your next bill.

3. Check the seal

Also called a “gasket,” the rubber seal around the frame of the fridge door prevents warm air from coming through the fresh food and freezer compartments. As this critical component starts breaking down, your unit will be working even harder to keep your foods chilled or frozen, which ultimately means higher energy bills — not to mention a shorter refrigerator lifespan.

It is common for the gaskets to lose some of their suction as the compartments are frequently accessed over time. Be sure to replace your refrigerator gaskets if they are torn or weakened.

4. Make a habit of cleaning up often

When your items are easy to find in your fridge, you can spend less time with the door open, ultimately reducing the amount of energy you use. As you’re re-organizing and throwing things out, you should also consider having fewer items on the top shelf of your refrigerator, especially large items like pizza boxes, loaves of bread, and serving dishes. Since this is a highly accessible spot, we recommend reserving the top shelf for foods and ingredients you reach for the most often — the easier they are to grab, the quicker the door can be closed. In addition, larger objects stored at the top may trap heat inside your unit, forcing your compressor to work harder.

5. Manually set the internal temperature

For your unit to provide the greatest efficiency for your family, set your refrigerator temperature to between 2°C-3°C and the freezer to between -17°C to -15°C. Setting the dial to the midpoint temperature usually does the trick if your fridge does not display the exact temperature.

6. Reduce frost buildup

Depending on your refrigerator, you may need to defrost it manually. Ice buildup can accumulate on the coils inside your refrigerator, forcing your unit to work overtime. If you do not regularly defrost your refrigerator and freezer, it may be difficult for the appliance to maintain cooler temperatures. That said, automatic defrost comes standard in modern refrigerators.

7. Spend a little to save a lot

Since it comes down to limiting the number of times you open your appliance to preserve the interior temperature, we recommend shelling out on a refrigerator with a glass panel — checking if you’re running out of milk is easier than ever, as you can make your shopping list without opening the doors!

Alternatively, you might consider a smart refrigerator with interior cameras to view the contents from your smartphone while at the grocery store.
