All about The Road Home

After another successful donation drive, WISE Home Solutions is still thrilled to be a preferred partner of The Road Home. In addition to our donation drives, WISE Home also gives a portion of each sale to the organization. So, what exactly is The Road Home all about? Here’s everything you need to know about one of our favorite partners.

Services

The Road Home is leader in the Salt Lake valley when it comes to combating homelessness. They provide a variety of services including shelter, donations, and case management. These are just a few of the ways The Road Home assists the local Utah community.

The Road Home manages two shelters: one in Downtown Salt Lake City, and the other in Midvale. This provides emergency housing for those in need. In addition to emergency housing, The Road Home also works to provide permanent housing as well. The permanent housing program is meant to stabilize those who struggle with finding consistent housing.

Part of what we enjoy doing with our partnership is providing donations to The Road Home. Any and all donations are welcome including clothing, hygiene items, and shoes. This directly helps those that come to the shelter. The needs change from season to season, but The Road Home has a wide variety for all people.

After a family or individual has left the shelter, The Road Home provides case management in order to assist them acclimating back into society. Case management services include help in obtaining documents, training, and assistance easing back into the workforce. With this type of help, individuals are more likely to thrive.

The Road Home is a wonderful organization, and WISE Home Solutions is happy to help their cause. Keep an eye out for our future donation drives, and visit The Road Home’s website to see how you can help.

Is it time to upgrade your thermostat?

Summer is officially upon us, and that means cooling costs are going to be skyrocketing. So, are you keeping your house cool in the best way possible? If you have an out of date thermostat, it may not be doing the job as efficiently as possible. Whether you want an upgrade for aesthetic reasons, or to cut costs, it’s probably time to upgrade. So, what are the benefits of upgrading to a smart thermostat, like the Nest Learning Thermostat?

Less hassle

Instead of having to adjust the thermostat every time you go out, wouldn’t it be nice if your thermostat took care of itself? With a smart thermostat, it learns your schedule. Might sound a little creepy, but it’s actually just convenient. As the Nest learns when you’re home, at work, or most often out of the house, it adjusts so no energy is wasted. Your wallet will thank you as you begin saving money.

Keep your home comfortable

Since your thermostat will take care of itself, your home will always be the perfect temperature. If you live in a hot, humid climate, you know how important air conditioning really is. Once the Nest Learning Thermostat adjusts to your schedule, your home will always be the right temperature.

Control from anywhere

Thanks to the convenient app, you can take control of your thermostat from anywhere. So, if you ever need to cool the house down more before the kids come home early, or you think the A/C is running a little too often, you have the power to change it. No matter where you are, you’ll always be able to regulate your home’s temperature.

So, if you’re ready for an upgrade, the Nest Learning Thermostat is the easiest way to save money this summer. Enjoy total control with your smart thermostat.
