Jeff Lynch is GOING GREEN!



GOING GREEN! 
By Mark Lynch






Jeff Lynch is GOING GREEN and reducing our all-important carbon footprint!   2017 was a year of progressive change here at Jeff Lynch.  Our initiative is to move toward a GREEN environment by reducing our energy needs in several ways.

Lighting
We replaced all of our old, energy-sapping lighting and replaced it with low cost, energy efficient LED fixtures and bulbs.  This important change will result in about 50% greater illumination but at about 80% of the monthly energy cost!  Plus LED bulbs last years or even decades longer than standard CFL or incandescent bulbs. The increased life results in lower replacement costs and lower man hours for the labor to replace them. Additionally, we recycled the old fixtures instead of throwing them away.

Solar Panels
We also installed solar panels. The initial investment was large but the payback will probably be less than 24 months.  We partnered with Hannah Solar to drastically reduce the amount of energy used to operate our facility because our energy now comes from a renewable energy source --- the SUN! The use of solar power does not produce any greenhouse gases, smoke or other chemicals that could pollute the atmosphere.  Solar panel does not contribute to acid rain or smog.

Recycling
Recycling is also a key component to being more environmentally friendly so we have recycled cardboard here for many years.  And we are looking for more recycling opportunities.

We are protecting our families and our environment!  We are also making our business more efficient and cost effective. 

We want to continue looking for ways to go GREENER and lead to more environmentally friendly and ecologically responsible decisions.  We also want to help protect the environment and sustain its natural resources for current and future generations.

4 tips to keep your dishwasher in good working order

2/3/18 There is so much information out there about how to take care of and clean our dishwashers that it can be overwhelming.  If you keep up with the cleaning and maintenance you can extend the life of your dishwasher.  We studied the owner’s manuals for Kitchen Aid, GE and Bosch dishwashers and came up with the 4 most helpful cleaning tips.   Check your owner’s manual for specific instructions and frequency. Clean the filters Inside your dishwasher there is at least one filter that collects solid particles that may have been on your dishes.  If you don’t clean it regularly then your dishes may show visible signs of dirt and the dishes can feel gritty to the touch.  It is easy to remove and clean them.   You can just do a quick look at the filter about once a month if you tend to put dirty dishes in the dishwasher.  If you are in the habit of clearing the dishes of food before putting them in the dishwasher you may only need to ch...
