However, in the plumbing business those features, along with ingenuity, style and elegance are just a few of the ways to describe TOTO, an exceptional line of bath products, now available at Aaron & Company. Beginning in June, Aaron & Company became a full line distributor of this award-winning line of plumbing fixtures. For more than 80 years TOTO has raised the standards for what a bathroom can be. With a passionate commitment to excellence in innovation, precision technology and the finest materials available, TOTO’s entire line of products are as durable as they are distinctive. They are the largest toilet manufacturer in the world, producing more than 7 million toilets annually. In 2005 they received the ISO 9001 certification which insures that TOTO will consistently deliver the highest quality products and services. Aaron & Company is proud to be associated with one of the pioneers in the industry and will be displaying a full complement of their products in all of our Kitchen and Bath Design Galleries. A lot of excitement has been generated in our New Brunswick showroom, which is currently undergoing a major renovation. The Kitchen Design Gallery has been completed and the newly redesigned bath showroom is expected to be done by October. Toto products will be prominently displayed, including the amazing Neorest toilet. This sleek, tankless, one piece toilet with an integrated Washlet seat, which is cushioned and heated. It has a lid that automatically opens and closes, and a sensor activated flushing system with Sana-Gloss- a super smooth, ion barrier glazing that cleans your toilet bowl with every flush. The showroom will also have Toto Airtubs, which re-define the luxury bathing experience and several coordinated bath suites, all designed to complement your personal taste. The newly renovated showroom will also have quite a few working displays, including a steam shower, working showerheads and body sprays. Toto has revolutionized the notion of comfort and cleanliness.

What’s Inside New Condensing Units Lower Cost ..............2 Aaron & Co. Help Extreme Makeover ............2 Housing Starts Down ....................................2 Burnham’s New Boilers ..................................3 Load The Barn: Air Filters & Cleaners ........4 PRSRT STD U.S. Postage PAID Hillsborough, NJ Permit No. 70 New A/C Condensing Units Will Lower Operating Costs Add an Indoor Air Quality product…get a free thermostat. Federal mandates have required the air conditioning industry to produce higher efficiency units. The minimum efficiency is now a 13 SEER, which uses less electricity to operate. Consumers doing condenser change-outs will appreciate these reduced costs. They will also appreciate a FREE thermostat with their unit. What they will value the most is the cleaner air that they will breathe when they add an Indoor Air Quality product to their system. With homes being built increasingly airtight, plus the prevalence of forced air systems, it is important to do a better job of air filtration, ventilation and humidification. Honeywell’s Indoor Air Quality products can help to accomplish this. For the remainder of the summer, until August 31st, Aaron & Company and Honeywell will be giving away a free programmable thermostat (TH-4000), with the purchase of a Gibson or Frigidaire13 SEER condensing unit and a Honeywell Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) product. The Honeywell IAQ products that will earn you a free thermostat are: Humidifiers, Electronic Air Cleaners, Media Air Cleaners, Ultra Violet Air Treatment systems, and a Fresh Air Ventilation System. Aaron & Company Participates in Extreme Makeover Supplies Rough Plumbing Materials for Project in Irvington Housing Starts on the Decline Factors include interest rates, affordability and reluctant investors After reaching record levels in the past three years the housing market is starting to cool off to more sustainable levels. First quarter reports for the Northeast region stated that sales of new single family homes were down over 8% from last year and home sales are projected to decline at least 6% this year. Despite these dire indicators there are some positive notes. Sales projections in May for new homes were on the upswing, partially due to builder’s incentives and some aggressive pricing. Major home appliance shipments were up 22% and the sale of kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities rose almost 17%. Ultimately the housing market will remain a very strong component of the economy, but for right now, new construction is going through a period of readjustment. Inventory of existing single family houses increased from a 4.3 month supply in May of 2005 to a 6.4 monthly supply in May of 2006. Sales will continue to be modest, due to consumer uncertainty regarding the increased cost of financing via the rise of interest rates, while higher energy prices continue to put pressure on consumer goods and services. After a devastating house fire left Beverly Turner and her adopted family of 18 homeless, “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” came to the rescue. This was the first project in New Jersey for the Emmy Award winning reality television show and was spearheaded by two developers, Edgewood Properties and Century 21 Construction Corp. They had to adapt the house for the 9 special needs and handicapped children, which was the largest project undertaken by the show. A crew of 3,000 volunteers worked tirelessly for 4 days and nights, demolishing and rebuilding the house which ended up being over 5,500 square feet and included a glass encased elevator, fireplace and an underground sprinkler system. Local plumbing contractors, A&R Plumbing and Forte Express supplied much of the plumbing work and Aaron & Company supplied piping for the sprinkler system, copper tubing, PVC fitting and valves. The home was showcased in a special two hour episode as the season finale on May 21st. Burnham Introduces New Boilers for the Heating Season Technological advances give greater efficiencies, more reliability. A newly engineered cast iron heat exchanger has helped Burnham to produce some of the most fuel efficient boilers available. Burnham has used this new technology for their gas-fired direct vent boiler, the SCG and their power vented system, the PVG. This heat exchanger incorporates more heating surface and directional flow technology which allow the boiler to reach 85% AFUE. With the introduction of the MPO, Burnham has created the most efficient oilfired boiler on the market. Built with a three pass design and an innovative cast iron section the MPO is 87% AFUE Energy Star certified. With a reversible full swing door and a unique configuration that allows the entire block to be cleaned and vacuumed without removing the flue pipe, the MPO is the easiest oil boiler in the industry to clean and service. Other Burnham news With the recent “Flood of ’06” in mind Burnham has re-published a guideline to cleaning/servicing a flooded boiler. The list of replacement parts is quite extensive, including all refractory materials, heat exchangers, all electrical components, etc. However there are some aspects that can be salvaged, like the main gas burners and venting system. Go to the Aaron & Company website @ www.aaronco.com for the complete guideline. It will be under the new sub-heading of FYI/FAQ. Good luck to all of our customers who have had to deal with the difficulties of the flood and its aftermath.
