Advantages and Disadvantages of Microwave Ovens
Microwaves are a type of energy that is absorbed by the food particles inside an oven. These waves make the water content inside the food particles to vibrate, which in return make food particles rub against each other, thus producing heat energy and cooking the whole food. The more the energy supplied the faster and better the food gets cooked. This is possible by either increasing the power supply to the oven or by increasing the cooking time.

Are Indoor Humidity Levels Affecting Your Health?
The ideal indoor humidity level is either 35% to 45% or 40% to 50% depending on who you ask. Thankfully, the human body is quite flexible and you do not have too aim at an exact figure. The important thing is to avoid extremes. Living indoors is not entirely natural. The artificial environments that we create for ourselves can sometimes cause extremes of humidity to occur. For short periods of time this is nothing to worry about, but the long term effects can be quite unpleasant.

Crawlspace - Underhouse - Floods - Water Under Your House Can Cause a Variety of Problems
Standing water or extremely damp soil in your home's crawlspace (under house) can cause a variety of structural problems and health concerns. Excess humidity caused by the evaporation of standing water or wet soil in your crawlspace can cause mold growth on the wooden foundation and the bottom of sub flooring. It can also cause warping or buckling of sub flooring and mold growth in the living area of the building. If your home has H.V.A.C. (heating , ventilation, air conditioning) ducting in the crawlspace and the system is compromised with excess moisture, microbial amplification may result. All of these issues can possibly create unhealthy indoor air quality. A broken sewer line in your crawlspace and the subsequent release of raw sewage onto your crawlspace soil can create an awful odor problem in your home. Also there are possible health concerns to the constant inhalation of sewer gas from an open or broken sewer line.

Some solutions to the problems mentioned above. Try to determine the source of the water intrusion and correct it yourself. This may be as simple as redirecting sprinkler heads, fixing leaky outdoor faucets or redirecting gutter downspouts. If you suspect plumbing problems, you should call a licensed plumber.
Often, there is too much water under your house for a plumber to properly inspect the pipes, you may need to call a Water Damage Restoration company. Many water damage companies offer crawlspace de-flooding and or sewage cleanup, should the leak be from a sewer drain line. After the water is removed and the crawlspace made accessible a plumber can check for leaky pipes. If your foundation is wet you may need a water damage restoration company to dry it for you, in order to prevent mold growth.
If you have over watering problems or a high water table you may need to contact a landscape engineer or a water proofing contractor to design a French drain system or other remedy to keep water from accumulating under your home. Many plumbing companies or water proofing contractors will also install sump pump systems in the low area of your crawlspace to help combat water pooling. You may also want to consider having a crawlspace dehumidifier installed to regulate the relative humidity to a level that will inhibit structural damage or mold growth. Another way to keep air flowing through the crawlspace (and thereby promoting evaporation) is by installing crawlspace ventilation fans over your existing crawlspace vents. There are also companies who can completely encapsulate your crawlspace with thick plastic, thereby effectively sealing your home off from the ground.
As you can see there are many problems that can arise from excessive water or moisture in your home or buildings crawlspace and just as many solutions. Should you suspect a problem that may need a professional solution, a good place to start is on the internet with your favorite search engine and a search for "crawlspace". This should get you started in the right direction with any crawlspace (under house) issues you may have.

The very first item I bought was humidifier. My sinuses suffer the most during winter and I guess the dry and cold air is just too much for me. So the first step is to get a humidifier or dehumidifier (depending on where you live). If you live in a humid area, too much humidity may also be damaging for your sinuses because humid air makes the mold and mildew, which makes the sinus sufferers really miserable. In my opinion, Humidifier, dehumidifier and air purifiers are probably one of the best natural remedies to relieve sinus headaches.

If the humidity level regularly exceeds 50% you are likely to experience a rapidly increasing dust mite population, which will affect allergy sufferers. Permanently damp rooms tend to have a musty smell. The damp air is a perfect breeding ground for mold, mildew and fungus, which can cause serious health problems. Where ever possible the cause of such conditions should be removed, but it is not always that simple and a dehumidifier may be required. A modern dehumidifier with built in humidistat can be programmed to maintain a humidity level below 50%. There are a wide variety available, so it is important to find the correct type for your situation. A useful guide to dehumidifiers can be found at DehumidifierTips.com

Consistently low humidity levels are also bad. This tends to occur when the weather is cold outside and we turn up the heat in our homes. The most noticeable effects are a sore throat and sinus pain, symptoms that are common in modern society at certain times of year. You can also get dry skin and itchy eyes. The solution is to buy a humidifier that will put moisture back into the air. Like dehumidifiers, these can be programmed to operate automatically, and there is a huge range available that make the most of a variety of different humidification techniques. These techniques are explored in detail at HumidifierInformation.com together with everything else you need to know on the subject.

Microwave ovens have a whole lot of advantages than disadvantages. Some foods when cooked in these ovens retain their flavour and taste than when cooked in the traditional methods. These ovens are also cost efficient on electricity and are also safe to use. Also these machines do not require pre-heating as in a traditional oven, and can be used immediately upon switching on. This also helps in the surroundings being cooler, unlike the gas stove that heats up the kitchen area, thus making it hot and uncomfortable to work.

This type of cooking also reduces cooking odours which accompany while cooking on gas stoves. Also cleaner kitchens can be achieved, as less food spills are caused in this method. The effort of washing of gas stoves is reduced as these ovens neednt' be washed, they can just be wiped off the dirt and food. With a combination oven that includes a conventional and microwave oven, cooking can get faster and effortless as well.

A coin has two sides and so does any device. A microwave oven too has its own advantages and disadvantages. Some of the major disadvantages could be that the food gets cooked faster which could result in over cooking of the food. The food can tend to get cooked unevenly, with hot food being on top and cold and uncooked food at the bottom, and so food has to be stirred, at regular intervals, in order to cook food correctly. Microwave oven need specific utensils to cook food as not all metals and alloy vessels can be used. Also all types of food cannot be cooked in a microwave oven; there are certain restrictions as well.
A microwave oven has many positive features and few negative aspects as well. It depends on the usage and need of the individual to go for this type of oven, along with necessary features and options.

In this article I would like to talk about another type of heater igniter the direct spark ignition. I will explain the function of it and try to help you understand what you can do to help yourself when it comes to repairing this igniter.
Dehumidifier
My Heater Will Not Work
There are steps that each heating system follows called sequence of operation, the operation of a direct spark system as follows.
My Heater Will Not Work
No URL
1. A call for heat is created by the thermostat.
2. The small fan (induced draft motor) will start.
3. A signal is received by the ignition module.
4. Voltage is applied from the ignition module to the sparker (a ticking sound may be heard) causing the burners to light.
5. Within less then a minute the blower or fan should start to turn sending warm air in to the home.
The spark ignition is just that, a small spark is used to light the pilot light or the burner depending on the system. There will be a white box or module mounted in side the unit with several small gauge wires attached to it. There will be a thicker wire amongst all the rest it will be attached to a steel rod. Like a spark plug in your car a spark is generated between the rod and another metal surface.
The rod can become dirty and may need to be cleaned, but it is rare that it is the reason for the furnace failing to light and supply heat to your home. What my happen is the thick wire that connects the igniter rod to the ignition module may become loose or disconnected all together. It is a lot like a spark plug wire so it may become dry and crack so it will not carry the electrical charge to the rod. The wire will need to be replaced and can be found at your local appliance parts store.
The ignition module can and will fail for any reason it chooses. If you follow the steps and find that there is no ticking sound coming from the area of the sparker rod then it is a safe bet that you have a bad module and while you can if you choose fix it your self it may be a good time to call a local repair company. The technician will have experience with your equipment and be able to diagnosis and repair the problem quickly.
One other item that should be red flag to a bigger problem, that would require a service technician, would be, if when you call for heat from the thermostat, this is depending on the type of heater you have, that the inducer motor does not start up. Make sure that you check to see if you have power at the heater. Once you have determined that, then you should call a service technician.

(3) Naturally high groundwater table.
(4) Over watering of plants around your home (creating a man made high water table).
(5) Sprinklers spraying through the crawlspace vents.
(6) Leaking swimming pools (this is rare).

Crawlspace - Underhouse - Floods - Water Under Your House Can Cause a Variety of Problems
Standing water or extremely damp soil in your home's crawlspace (under house) can cause a variety of structural problems and health concerns. Excess humidity caused by the evaporation of standing water or wet soil in your crawlspace can cause mold growth on the wooden foundation and the bottom of sub flooring. It can also cause warping or buckling of sub flooring and mold growth in the living area of the building. If your home has H.V.A.C. (heating , ventilation, air conditioning) ducting in the crawlspace and the system is compromised with excess moisture, microbial amplification may result. All of these issues can possibly create unhealthy indoor air quality. A broken sewer line in your crawlspace and the subsequent release of raw sewage onto your crawlspace soil can create an awful odor problem in your home. Also there are possible health concerns to the constant inhalation of sewer gas from an open or broken sewer line.

Some solutions to the problems mentioned above. Try to determine the source of the water intrusion and correct it yourself. This may be as simple as redirecting sprinkler heads, fixing leaky outdoor faucets or redirecting gutter downspouts. If you suspect plumbing problems, you should call a licensed plumber.
Often, there is too much water under your house for a plumber to properly inspect the pipes, you may need to call a Water Damage Restoration company. Many water damage companies offer crawlspace de-flooding and or sewage cleanup, should the leak be from a sewer drain line. After the water is removed and the crawlspace made accessible a plumber can check for leaky pipes. If your foundation is wet you may need a water damage restoration company to dry it for you, in order to prevent mold growth.
If you have over watering problems or a high water table you may need to contact a landscape engineer or a water proofing contractor to design a French drain system or other remedy to keep water from accumulating under your home. Many plumbing companies or water proofing contractors will also install sump pump systems in the low area of your crawlspace to help combat water pooling. You may also want to consider having a crawlspace dehumidifier installed to regulate the relative humidity to a level that will inhibit structural damage or mold growth. Another way to keep air flowing through the crawlspace (and thereby promoting evaporation) is by installing crawlspace ventilation fans over your existing crawlspace vents. There are also companies who can completely encapsulate your crawlspace with thick plastic, thereby effectively sealing your home off from the ground.
As you can see there are many problems that can arise from excessive water or moisture in your home or buildings crawlspace and just as many solutions. Should you suspect a problem that may need a professional solution, a good place to start is on the internet with your favorite search engine and a search for "crawlspace". This should get you started in the right direction with any crawlspace (under house) issues you may have.

In this article I would like to talk about another type of heater igniter the direct spark ignition. I will explain the function of it and try to help you understand what you can do to help yourself when it comes to repairing this igniter.

My Heater Will Not Work
There are steps that each heating system follows called sequence of operation, the operation of a direct spark system as follows.

1. A call for heat is created by the thermostat.
2. The small fan (induced draft motor) will start.
3. A signal is received by the ignition module.
4. Voltage is applied from the ignition module to the sparker (a ticking sound may be heard) causing the burners to light.
5. Within less then a minute the blower or fan should start to turn sending warm air in to the home.
The spark ignition is just that, a small spark is used to light the pilot light or the burner depending on the system. There will be a white box or module mounted in side the unit with several small gauge wires attached to it. There will be a thicker wire amongst all the rest it will be attached to a steel rod. Like a spark plug in your car a spark is generated between the rod and another metal surface.
The rod can become dirty and may need to be cleaned, but it is rare that it is the reason for the furnace failing to light and supply heat to your home. What my happen is the thick wire that connects the igniter rod to the ignition module may become loose or disconnected all together. It is a lot like a spark plug wire so it may become dry and crack so it will not carry the electrical charge to the rod. The wire will need to be replaced and can be found at your local appliance parts store.
The ignition module can and will fail for any reason it chooses. If you follow the steps and find that there is no ticking sound coming from the area of the sparker rod then it is a safe bet that you have a bad module and while you can if you choose fix it your self it may be a good time to call a local repair company. The technician will have experience with your equipment and be able to diagnosis and repair the problem quickly.
One other item that should be red flag to a bigger problem, that would require a service technician, would be, if when you call for heat from the thermostat, this is depending on the type of heater you have, that the inducer motor does not start up. Make sure that you check to see if you have power at the heater. Once you have determined that, then you should call a service technician.
