Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

DENISON, TX -- We now know what caused a fire that severely damaged a Denison home last night.

Firefighters say it was faulty wiring in the attic. And the old wood frame home burned fast, taking with it the family's gifts and memories, but not their real strength -- each other.

"I was wrapping Christmas presents in my dining room and then all my electricity went out," says fire victim Jackie Garling.

Garling says first she went to the breaker box, trying to figure out why the power stopped.

"And I looked up in the closet where the attic is and I hollered at my husband because I saw orange," says Jackie.

"She said, 'Does that look like fire in the closet?' and I said, 'Yes it does,' and it was," says fire victim Jeff Garling.

Suddenly, the couple and their grandson had to get out. Their daughter lives next door.

"My son was staying with my mother and she came running over with him in blankets screaming," says Jerika Liggett.

"The fire was already coming out of the attic. The occupants that were inside had evacuated," says Denison Assistant Fire Chief Bill Ray.

"I've lost everything I have. The most important thing was my pictures, but I have my life. I have my grandson," says Jackie.

While the home building industry has worked to regain a little footing, RWCs affiliate, HOME of Texas, has been rather busy developing a brand new look, complete with a new logo, full-color home warranty books and a fresh website! Just like builders offering new and exciting options or sprucing up floor plans, HOME has injected new life into its home warranty programs to make them work even better for members and homeowners.

HOMEs website has been totally redesigned, complete with a sleek and modern look to complement HOMEs new business approach. The easy-to-navigate site features the best marketing tools around, while also offering members a way to sensibly manage liability. The site is fully functional regardless of viewing device. Most importantly, it places valuable information at the hands of HOMEs members.

Website Features:

Check out HOMEs new logo. See this contemporary symbol of new home warranty protection on all HOME brochures, warranty books and paperwork over the coming weeks.

Last, but certainly not least, the look of all of HOMEs warranty books is vastly improved! Every warranty book offered by HOME of Texas has been transformed into a full-color, eye-catching marketing tool.

New to HOME? Nows the time to take a look at its leading home warranty protection plans! Aside from the enhanced look, there are several reasons to choose a HOME of Texas warranty:

With a warranty from HOME of Texas in place, buyers will hold confidence in their warranty, no matter what the future holds.

RWCs Affiliate, HOME of Texas, Launches a New Look

Insurance giant QBE has been blasted by senior officers of the ACT's Environment and Planning Department for failing to compensate victims of the $4.5 million Sublime Constructions and Development collapse.

QBE is refusing to pay out on home warranty insurance certificates issued to up to 13 Sublime clients who have been left about $1.1 million out of pocket after the builder went into administration and then liquidation earlier this year.

Department construction services director Craig Simmons likened QBE's behaviour to that of some insurance operators in the workers compensation sector, and said the apparent attempt to evade liability on a technicality was doomed to fail.

"We [the department] think this is pretty straightforward," he said. "It is a pretty simple policy."

Aler Locus and his partner Emma Watson, whose extended family of six have been squeezed into a cramped Kaleen bungalow for more than a year as a result of the Sublime debacle, agree.

Mr Locus said QBE was trying to make his, and the other affected families, bear the cost of its failure to carry out proper due diligence when it issued the policies.

Home Warranty Insurance is a statutory obligation in all jurisdictions. In the ACT, builders cannot sign a valid contract until the client has been provided with a certificate showing the insurance is in place.

QBE, whose total exposure to the Sublime collapse is estimated to be $1.1 million with individual claims capped at $84,500, has told affected owners that because the certificates were made out in the name of Sublime Builders Pty Ltd, not Sublime Constructions and Development, they were not covered.

Every year, along with the snow and the Christmas lights, comes a flood of warnings to protect your home from burglars looking to take advantage of all the houses left empty during holiday vacations. Call it the Home Alone effect.

But google something along the lines of holiday home break-ins and youll see a lot of tips written by insurance agencies or companies selling home security systems. Not surprisingly, some of those tips include Buy our security equipment, or Get our insurance.

So are holiday crime sprees just a myth cooked up by self-interested corporations and classic 90s films? Or do the numbers justify the fears?

Boston.com dove into the stats from the last few years, punching our calculators and tabulating the averages to bring you the answer, which is it kind of depends.

First, lets look at the data from Boston proper, which bears out the common wisdom to some extent.

The Boston Police Department breaks its crime data down by week, so we actually get to see how the trend changes within the month of December in 2012 and 2013.

The first half of December is pretty normal (i.e. the blue and green bars are about the same height as the purple bar, which represents the average of all 52 weeks of the year), but in both years those last two weeks where Christmas and New Years fall saw significantly more burglaries than the normal week.

Its Not Clear Home Break-Ins Happen More Often During the Holidays

Milford, CT (PRWEB) December 10, 2014

Figuring out how to stay warm during the coldest winter months may not seem like fun to most people living in the Northeast region -- especially when they're well aware of the steep energy bills they they could be paying -- but the staff at Climate Partners is on a mission to lighten the mood with their second social media-based contest.

Starting on Friday, December 12 and running until Monday, January 5, Climate Partners is inviting customers to sign onto the business's official Facebook page and participate in a photo contest, talking about their own fun and innovative ways to stay warm throughout the winter. The first 200 people to post responses will receive official Climate Partners hats and sweatshirts.

This photo contest is the second social media-based contest that Climate Partners has run; this past November, the staff ran a similar contest to find the Oldest Furnace in Fairfield and Haven Counties in Connecticut. The contest brought hundreds of visitors onto Climate Partners' website, and out of 25 individual entries, one lucky winner with the Oldest Furnaces in town was selected to receive a new furnace and heating system, compliments of Climate Partners.

According to Tom Casey, the owner of Climate Partners, connecting with customers has been one of the company's biggest goals for 2014.

"This past year we've really focused on reaching out to our customers through social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter," Casey states. "We've realized the value and necessity of being able to connect with our customers online."

In addition to their consumer-focused marketing strategies, Climate Partners has also revamped company transportation by replacing their old trucks with a fuel-efficient Eco Fleet, and each truck has been spruced up with Climate Partners' sleek green and blue logo.

About Climate Partners

Climate Partners has been offering HVAC service, repair, and installation solutions to customers in the Fairfield and New Haven counties area for 75 years. For more information or inquiries, visit climatepartners.com
