What’s New in Technology for Your Home?
Thursday, June 24th, 2010
A few weeks ago, we got to attend the Viking® Experience at The GSC. It was tremendous to check out all of the innovation in kitchen appliances. They have many distinct kitchens to show the array of design options available with Viking Appliances. I am still trying to pick my favorite kitchen. With over 23 color finishes to choose from, your can really customize your kitchen. Here’s a photo of the Viking® representative showing us the finish options:
They also showed us just how fast an Induction Cooktop can boil water, it is faster than fast. I just may convert to Induction from Gas in my next kitchen.
And, they offer Brunch dates for you to enjoy a product demonstration and a scrumptious brunch prepared by Kathryn, their culinary director. If you’re a SummerHill homebuyer, our design team can arrange a private appointment at the Viking® Experience at The GSC for you to learn about your new appliances available standard at Satake Estates and as options at some of our other communities.
Oh, there are a few more innovations in technology for your home that I couldn’t resist sharing…

“Cash for Clunkers” is back, but this time it’s for your old appliance.
Wednesday, April 7th, 2010
Did you know that California is giving away free money? And it’s not just on insulation, windows or HVAC equipment. Beginning April 22, 2010 you can receive CA rebates for items such as refrigerators, and washers that are Energy Star approved. The trick is to hold out on your appliance purchase until after April 22nd of this year to get the refund.
Think how much you could save on those PG&E bills and water bills. If your washer is 10 years old you are going to use approx. 32% less energy and 43% less water and refrigerators will use 40% less energy. This alone is a sizable savings.

The miracle and novelty of refrigeration
Monday, February 8th, 2010
It was not long ago that many homes in the United States didn’t have refrigerators. In fact, it was only in the 1930s that fridges became affordable enough for 60% of households in the US to own one and many people in the UK didn’t own one until the 1970s, that is pretty recent! (source: Wikipedia)
Before that people would grow food or go to the local store daily. In many other countries throughout the world, refrigeration is still a novelty. We take this novelty for granted, we can keep things frozen for a couple months, we can keep milk cold for a week, and we can go to the store once a week to have more than enough food to keep our families fed each night.
