SCHEMPER'S ACE HARDWARE  YOUR GREEN STORE
  Looking for a more "Eco-Friendly" power source instead of all the batteries you go through quickly and then toss in the trash?  Do you find you have a constant need for different sizes of batteries for the big and little kids entertainment needs?
   There is a simple solution to the battery dilemma that is cost effective and environmentally friendly. It is time to consider using rechargeable batteries. 
Schemper's Ace carries many sizes and types of rechargeable batteries and chargers.  We have a compact charger that can charge AA batteries in as little as 2 hours, making it ideal for travel and camera bags.  The perfect item for the kid's video games is a value charger that charges AA and AAA batteries in as little as 6 hours.  To make sure you always have the right charged battery on hand, we have a charger that will charge AAA, AA, 9V, C, and D batteries, or a combination of the sizes.  Rechargeable batteries can be charged over and over again, think of the money savings and green impact.
  Do you have solar lights in your yard?  We also have rechargeable batteries for those.
 If you would like more information on rechargeable batteries and chargers, come in to the store and one of our sales people will  be happy to show you all your options.
 In order to take "green" to the next level, when your rechargeable battery is past it's prime, please return it to Schemper's Ace Hardware where we will be happy to recycle it for you.  
 
We can make green choices and save money!

OCTOBER 2010 NEWSLETTER

      Did you know that "Fire Prevention Week" is the longest running public health and safety observance on record. It was established after the tragic Great Chicago Fire of October 1871.  That's the fire with the legend of Mrs. O'Leary's cow kicking over the lamp.  No matter what caused the fire (many theories), the loss of lives, structures and burned acreage was huge.  It was decided that the public should be informed about the importance of fire prevention and safety.
 
     Every year "Fire Prevention Week" is observed during the week of October that has the 9th in it.  It is also interesting that every year there is a theme.  This year the theme is... 
 
SMOKE ALARMS: A SOUND YOU CAN LIVE WITH!
 
     Experts report that consumers may cut their risk of dying in a home fire in half simply by having a smoke alarm installed. Here are a few tips for  purchasing and maintaining smoke alarms.
 
     1. Install at least one UL-listed smoke alarm on every level of your home and outside all sleeping areas.  There is safety in numbers, the
more alarms the better.
     2. Read and follow the manufacturer's installation and maintenance instructions.
     3. Test and maintain your smoke alarm once a month and install fresh batteries once a year. Do not allow anyone to disconnect or 
"borrow" the batteries from your smoke alarm.
     4. Replace smoke alarms that are more than 10 years old or have been painted over.
     5. Test that you can hear alarms in every room of the house, even with doors closed.
     6. Mark your calendar for your next testing date and for battery replacement date.
     7. In addition to installing smoke alarms in your home it is recommended that you develop a fire escape plan and practice it with all members of your household. Designate a well-lit place, a safe distance away from your home, where everyone will meet in the event of a fire.  This will help firefighters determine if anyone else is still inside the home.  Remember, never return to a burning building for any reason.
 
     Come into Schemper's Ace Hardware and let us help you choose the right smoke alarm for you, whether your adding additional alarms or replacing alarms that are old.  Check the coupons below for special offers to help you with your smoke alarm safety needs.

NEW CALIFORNIA SAFETY LAW
 
EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2011
 
*All existing single-family dwellings that contain a fossil fuel burning heater or appliance, fireplace, or an attached garage must install carbon monoxide alarms.
 
*All other existing dwellings (multi family) shall comply by January 1, 2013.
 
*CO alarms must be either battery-powered or plug-in with battery backup.
 
*CO alarms must be installed outside of sleeping areas and on every level of a dwelling, including the basement.
 
 
 
We know this is not a law yet, but we want you to sleep easy at night knowing you have the right carbon monoxide alarm that will comply with the new law. The following tips may help in the selection and installation of a carbon monoxide detector.
 
 
   * Install at least one carbon monoxide detector on every floor and    
     within 15 feet of the entrance to each sleeping area.
   * Do not install carbon monoxide detectors directly above or beside
     fuel burning appliances, or within 15 feet of a bathroom heating
     unit.
   * Look for a detector that also has a peak-level memory reading.
     This feature records the highest level of carbon monoxide present
     over a period of time, which is helpful to emergency personnel.
   * Install dedicated carbon monoxide detectors at eye-level to remind
     you to test them periodically.  Install combination smoke and
     carbon monoxide detectors near or on the ceiling for best smoke
     detection, carbon monoxide will be detected regardless of
     vertical placement.
   * Change the battery on your carbon monoxide detectors ( and your
     smoke detectors) every year when you set your clocks back in the
     fall.
   * Replace your carbon monoxide detector every 5 years.
   * Specific installation instructions vary based on the carbon
     monoxide detector purchased.  Always read and follow the
     manufacturer's instructions. 
   
If your carbon monoxide alarm sounds, turn off all fuel-burning
appliances and immediately circulate fresh air by opening doors and window.  Call a repair technician to have the problem fixed before restarting appliance.  If anyone in the home shows signs of dizziness, headaches or vomiting, call 911.
 
Schemper's Ace Hardware carries a full line of carbon monoxide detectors and also smoke/carbon monoxide combination alarms.  The features vary on the alarms and we would love to help you find the perfect alarm that will work best in your home.
