Does your home feel too cold in the winter and too warm in the summer? This could be because your attic is not as efficient as it should be. By using tool rentals, you can improve your attic’s efficiency and keep your home more comfortable. Better efficiency will prevent air from escaping through your attic and cut down on your energy costs. Use tools for rent and follow these steps to make your attic more efficient.

Seal your attic so excessive amounts of air aren’t able to enter it.
There are many ways that air from outside can end up inside of your attic. If you have a window in your attic space with a crack in it or chimney and pipe flashings that aren’t sealed on your roof, air will often work its way into your attic through those small spaces. It might not seem like much, but that air can impact the temperature of your entire home. There are tools like caulking guns that you can use to seal up any leaks that exist.

Make sure your attic space is insulated properly.
While you want to keep air from outside out of your attic, you also want to prevent air from inside your home from making its way up into your attic. The best way to do that is to install fresh insulation in your attic space. Insulation works to prevent air from rising and entering your attic. You likely lose a lot of heat in the winter through your attic, so you should make an effort to limit heat loss with insulation.

Ventilate your attic space to limit problems with moisture in your attic.
Ventilating your attic properly can be tricky, so you should consult with a contractor to do it. They will use the right equipment to ventilate your attic so that moisture doesn’t build up inside of it and cause mold and mildew to grow.

Certain tools and equipment, such as power drills and circular saws, may be continually used for many years. Others, such as cement mixers, may only need to be used once every decade or so. Therefore, it makes more sense to rent certain tools and equipment rather than spending the money to buy them. Here are some more benefits of renting tools.

In order to operate power tools properly, you must understand how to use them. Regarding a nail gun, you have to adjust the pressure settings each time you use it, which ranges between 70 psi and 120 psi. The right setting depends on the length of the brads you are using and the type of material you’re working with—softer materials require lower pressure settings whereas harder materials require higher settings. For example, you may need to go as high as 110 psi to drive a brad just below the surface of oak wood.

Check out this video to see how the pressure is adjusted on a nail gun.

With the rise in national home sales in recent years, not to mention the popularity of home-improvement shows, there has been a surge in the number of homeowners and who are tackling home-renovation projects and buying fixer uppers. There are many benefits of being a do-it-yourselfer. Not only can you gain useful construction skills, you can also save money on your renovation project by doing the demolition work yourself. Here is a look at the home demolition process and how an equipment rental store in San Jose can help you get the job done.

Learning the Trade
You just purchased an older home that needs some TLC and a facelift. You want to do a bulk of the demolition work yourself, and possible some construction work, but you have no or very little home-remodeling experience. Thankfully, if you have a healthy amount of gumption and confidence in yourself, you can learn how to be a fairly decent handyperson. There are many resources available to you: how-to books, home-improvement shows, and consulting an expert at your local hardware or tool rental store.

Using Power Tools
You should become proficient in using hand tools and larger tools like sledgehammers, crowbars, and pickaxes. Better yet, make it a point to learn how to use power tools, which can be rented at your local equipment rental store if you don’t happen to have them on hand. The most useful power tools you’re going to need for demolition work are a power drill, a reciprocating saw , and a circular saw. For example, reciprocating saws can cut through wood and metal, which is very helpful when you’re attempting to remove windows, steel railings, or stubborn cabinetry.

Consulting a Professional
When in doubt, strike up a conversation with your tool-rental specialist. He or she can match you with the right tool for whatever job you’re tackling. Most rental places also sell new and used equipment—a knowledgeable expert can help you build your personal tool library.

For nearly 70 years, A Tool Shed Equipment Rental has provided our customers with the best home demolition equipment and tools for rent in San Jose and the Greater Bay Area. We are open seven days a week and have seven rental store locations to serve you. Call us at (877) 890-2963 to chat with one of our customer service specialists and to learn more about our available inventory.

Cold weather can ravish a home and its occupants. Save yourself from the headaches that can result from being unprepared, and from losing money to your high-energy bills, by properly winterizing your home. You can find everything you need to winterize your home at your local tool and equipment repair store in San Jose . Here are some helpful tips to help you make sure your home is up to snuff when the temperature drops.

Focus on Energy Efficiency
The best way to winterize your home is to put yourself in the right mindset. Think about what it means to be energy efficient. For example, a well insulated home is the first step toward a fully winterized home. Take care of drafty windows and doors by using weather stripping or other appropriate insulating materials—for older or damaged windows and doors, you should have them professionally repaired or replaced. The key is to keep warm air inside your home and cold air out.

Take Care of Your HVAC System
When it comes to your heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, be sure to keep it well maintained. They should be thoroughly inspected and air filters should be replaced before furnaces are turned on for the first time during the fall and winter season. Check ductwork for leaks or damages and check your thermostat for signs of failure.

Trim Large Trees and Clean Gutters
Large trees that are close to homes can potentially be hazards, especially if braches become weighed down by rain. Leaves dropped by deciduous trees can pile up in gutters and create blockages to downspouts. For peace of mind, you should make it a point to trim precarious tree limbs and to clean your gutter system. If you happen to have an unusually tall house or fairly large trees, consider hiring a professional to do the work for you. If you’re confident you can take care of it yourself, but lack the tools or equipment to perform the job, head over to your local tool rental store. You can rent whatever you may need to get the job done like a chainsaw or a boom lift.
