Recently a bill was introduced to the state capitol by the House Transportation Committee which, if passed, will do a lot of good for the moving industry AND its consumers. Sadly, there are San Antonio moving companies that hold themselves to extremely low standards, and that are hardly licensed to provide the “service” that they claim to perform so well. Rogue movers, as they are often called, mislead consumers in need of relocation assistance with the false thoughts of cheap and efficient moving services. What the unfortunate consumers will soon find out though is that you get what you pay for in this industry. The aforementioned freshly filed bill will make operating without proper credentials much more difficult if passed.

There are already fines and penalties which affect unlicensed movers in a negative way. However; the penalties will carry a much bigger stick assuming the bill is passed. This not only protects consumers from moving-day nightmares, but it protects professional and reputable movers as well as the moving industry as a whole will quickly see far less of the rogue service providers that give us all a bad name. Your pro mover here in San Antonio is hopeful that this proposal is put into action soon; nobody deserves the hardships that shoddy moving impostors burden families with on a daily basis!

If you pay bills, there is no question that you want to avoid spending as much money as possible on your essential services. You may not realize it, but there are many culprits in your home that are guilty of using gluttonous amounts of energy, driving up your electric bill. Knowledge is power and with the following information, you can easily adjust your habits around the home as they apply to electronics and decrease your energy bill.

Starting in the entertainment areas of your home; there is a concentration of high energy usage right in your living room. Your plasma TV’s, newer-model video game consoles, and cable boxes for example, all use up quite a bit of energy. Plasma televisions give off quite a bit of heat, indicative of an energy waster, a 40-50 inch plasma TV uses two to three times the amount of energy of other televisions. Furthermore; newer video game consoles require more and more energy as the quality of their graphics improve; graphics-quality is much higher of a priority than energy efficiency for video gaming companies. Your cable box, along with other electric boxes in your entertainment center, may not seem like an obvious power problem, but actually consume quite a bit of energy as these types of electronics are rarely if ever turned off. One simple technique for controlling energy in the entertainment areas of your home is to employ an energy saving power strip to power the contents of your entertainment center. Such power sources efficiently monitor your electronics and conserve energy when your devices are idle.

Not every energy waster in your home is as obvious as your entertainment electronics. Items which remain plugged into electric sockets in your home have the potential to gradual and continuously draw energy. Items such as phone chargers or rechargeable-battery power stations should only be plugged in while in use. This goes for your lap top power-supply as well. LCD picture frames have become pretty popular within the recent years, and draw power continuously. Your choice of light bulbs in your home also affects your energy bill. It is best to opt for energy conserving fluorescent lighting in your home. Every bit of energy consumption helps you save money on your electric costs.

Life doesn’t stop to let us figure out every little nook and cranny. Nonetheless energy conservation is extremely important; not only in saving you money on your electric bill, but also in protecting our environment. Your San Antonio movers highly suggest that you do an inspection of your entire home and take every opportunity you come across to cut down on energy consumption. It’s a win-win effort!

Flu season is in full-swing. It is during this time of the year when germ-deterrence is most important. Protecting yourself from airborne bacteria and germs should be a constant objective for you though. Protecting yourself from germs is easy! Follow this guide and you’ll be much less likely to call in to work sick this season!

• No matter where you are, you should be aware of how easy it is for germs to penetrate your body’s vulnerable points. Your hands can quickly turncoat on you if you don’t keep them clean and free of germs. Keeping a pocket-sized bottle of hand sanitizer or sanitation wipes is a terrific defense against all the germ-rich surfaces you may come into contact with during the day. Think of all the doorknobs, counters, keyboards, pencils and pens your hands come into contact with during the day. Also, be conscious of any tendencies you have to stick your fingers (or any foreign objects such as pens) in or around your mouth. Your mouth, ears, nose, and eyes are ideal entryways for germs and bacteria, so be mindful of this. Avoid contact with iffy surfaces all together if you can. Use your sleeve or a handkerchief when opening doors and community cabinets/drawers. If you have to use a public restroom, flush with your foot instead of your hand… and be sure to flee as quickly as possible after flushing as germs go airborne with every flush. Even though you can’t see them, germs can flourish almost anywhere!
• Hygiene is a crucial factor in avoiding germs. Furthermore, if you spend the majority of your time at home, you should be especially germ-conscious there. You should regularly wash your hands, along with everything else that may be inviting to germs. Clothing, bed linens, and furniture should be cleaned regularly. You should also keep your carpets free of germs by vacuuming often. Surfaces, utensils, dishes and other items in your kitchen should also be kept clean and sterile. Be sure to keep the air circulation constantly moving in your home too, stale air is not your friend.
• You can also prevent germs from wreaking havoc on your body by watching what you eat (and washing what you eat!). Vitamin rich fruits and vegetables boost your body’s natural ability to fight disease and bacteria. An apple a day really does keep the doctor away, as do oranges, pears, and many other tasty fruits. Remember that such produce is likely to contain trace amounts of pesticides so rinse your fruits and veggies. Stay hydrated as well by drinking plenty of water every day.

Moving your elderly parent can be a rather sensitive time, so hiring an experienced senior moving company in San Antonio is paramount. The most important thing is that your parent is comfortable. You want movers who will arrive on time, well groomed and neatly dressed in uniform. They should also be very kind and hard working to ensure everything goes smoothly. If moving them to a senior facility, your mover should coordinate with the facility. Many senior homes allocate a certain time frame for moving in and out. Research your San Antonio movers experience with handling moves of this nature.

Products lacking quality and professionals supplying substandard customer care are usually ingredients for a likely return or complaint. In the moving business, clients are forced to trust the opinions of others, the care displayed during the moving quote process, and the mover’s reputation with the Better Business Bureau and industry affiliations. These are areas that should draw a red flag when booking a San Antonio mover. Most often consumers don’t realize they have a rogue mover until it’s too late.

The best way to ensure you receive the type of service you deserve is to do in-depth research on the moving company and its business practices. Sites like yelp, consumer affairs and rip-off report are good places to look for feedback from customers. Weigh the percentage of negative comments amongst other San Antonio moving companies. Most movers also post customer feedback on their website as well. Click here to read the full article.

In our present economic climate many are choosing to do as much as they can to save money. Do-it-yourself packing is definitely one way to keep a little something extra in your pocket. However, keep in mind that time and a considerable amount of effort will need to be factored in to ensure your items are packed carefully.

Let’s start with your packing supplies. You should purchase professional packing supplies through a local moving company for guaranteed protection of your valuables. Some individuals attempt to secure boxes and wrapping materials by scouring neighborhood grocers, and recycling outdated newspapers and more, but remember, it’s your valuables you’re protecting. Most moving companies will provide you with a moving kit that includes a discounted rate on packing materials. Professional packing supplies are also key because they are made to weather your transition from one place to the next and can even in most cases be stored for your next move in San Antonio. Weigh your options and choose what works best for you.

Moving in San Antonio can be smooth or tumultuous, it all depends on the type of mover you hire. Connecting with a San Antonio mover that offers first class care and great pricing is possible when you do your homework. Of course trusting a moving company to move your valuables is a job for nothing but the best. There are a few ways to determine that your items will be safe and that your move will be smooth. First, what type of feedback have you noticed from others who have used their services? Now keep in mind, you will have disgruntled customers from time to time, but not pages and pages of negative reviews. Are they affiliated with any moving organizations that add credibility to their name? What does the BBB have to say about their services? Are they an accredited member? All of these things should help shape your opinion of them and their promised services. When looking for the best, you must be thorough in your research. The best will always rise to the top.

Most San Antonio moving companies base their estimates for local moves on an hourly rate. The rate depends on the number of movers and the number of trucks that are required for the job. The time billed should begin when they arrive at your home and end when they are finished unloading and assembling everything in your new home. San Antonio movers usually will add travel time to your move which should be approximately 1 hour based on 30 minutes drive time from the moving company to your original home and 30 minutes from your final destination back again to the moving company’s home base. This is just a gauge, as some moving companies charge a flat rate for moving.
