Bionaire humidifiers are used to control the moisture levels in your home. A lack of moisture leads to dry skin, dry eyes and scratchy throats. Too much moisture leads to mold. It is normal for water minerals and sediment to build up in your Bionaire humidifier filter, so it is important to change the filter when the system indicates.
Step 1 Turn your Bionaire humidifier on. Check the filter monitor located next to the moisture outlet.
A thermostat controls the AC temperature in your home. A thermostat is preset in the factory to display the temperature in either degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius.
Air Conditioner While thermostats in the United States are usually preset to Fahrenheit, Canadian models are preset to Celsius (this is because Canada now uses the metric system). Therefore, if you are in the U.S., but your thermostat originated in Canada, you may find the thermostat doesn’t quite fit your needs.
Hardwood floors are a beautiful addition to any home, but to keep them looking their best you must take good care of them. A small amount of bleach mixed with water can be used to remove mildew from floors or some stains, but for best results use water and bleach sparingly on your hardwood floors.

With the gradual phasing out of incandescent light bulbs, you'll see more compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) on the market, along with light-emitting diode lamps (LEDs).
It's not as obvious as with an incandescent bulb when a compact fluorescent lamp burns out. Also called compact fluorescent bulbs or energy-saving bulbs, CFLs contain trace amounts of mercury and must be disposed of carefully at hazardous waste or recycling centers. CFLs fit standard light bulb sockets but use less electricity than incandescent bulbs.
A submersible water pump operates beneath the earth’s surface. A submersible water pump will not operate if it is not submerged in liquid. A submersible water pump pushes water to the surface, instead of sucking the water out of the ground like above ground water pumps.
