Hignell Contractors Remind Consumers to Get Ready for Summer with a New Energy Efficient Amana Air Conditioner

The Heating and Air Conditioning Division of The Hignell Companies reminds the North Valley that the Heat is Coming. Whether you need a new Air Conditioner or just a good tune up, The Hignell Companies is ready to help. The Hignell Companies Heating and Air Conditioning Division installs new Amana systems with significant tax credits available.

Chico, CA (Vocus) May 29, 2009 — The Heat is Coming in the North State and The Hignell Companies is asking consumers "Is your air conditioner ready?" Many people don’t realize that most of the cost of their utility bill comes from their air conditioner. Having regular tune-ups helps air conditioners to perform at their best. An air conditioner that is operated without the proper maintenance and cleaning will lose cooling capacity and operate inefficiently. People can end up paying up to 50% more in utility costs just to keep their home comfortable. While regular maintenance is a must, if an air conditioner is more than 7 or 8 years old, it might be time to install a brand new energy efficient Amana® system.

The Hignell Companies Vice President of Construction Services, Jeff Stiemsma is excited about their partnership with Amana® and the tax credits being offered by the government for installing a new energy efficient and environmentally friendly system. Says Stiemsma, "There’s no better time to install a brand new high efficiency Amana® air conditioner than right now. With tax credits available and the summer heat coming, we are ready to take care of the North State."

Customers can rely on The Hignell Companies reputation and customer service. They are ready to service all makes and models of existing air conditioners or install a brand new Amana® system. One of the benefits of a new energy efficient air conditioner is the increased value of the home. Whether customers need a tune up or a brand new system, The Hignell Companies today will make sure local families stays cool while saving money. The Hignell Companies also offers financing alternatives to assist their customers.

Homeowners who have not refinanced have put it off and now should avoid making a bad decision worse. Instead, "Lock in and refinance now. Don’t wait for rates to drop again because they likely will not. As the economy recovers, rates will continue to rise. Today we are still at 75-year lows.

Commercial And Retail Spaces At Thriving One Arts Plaza Now 100 Percent Leased

Even in a challenging economy, One Arts Plaza has become the premier address for businesses, restaurants, retail and residents to call home in downtown Dallas. The commercial spaces at the distinct urban development are now 100 percent leased with the most recent signing of CharlieUniformTango (CUT), a full service-post production studio. The organization, which also has an Austin facility, specializes in creative editorial, visual effects, audio mixing, digital production, video and film production and other creative client services. CUT adds to the distinct creative energy and arts that One Arts Plaza and the Dallas Arts District represent.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) May 28, 2009 — Even in a challenging economy, One Arts Plaza has become the premier address for businesses, restaurants, retail and residents to call home in downtown Dallas. The commercial spaces at the distinct urban development are now 100 percent leased with the most recent signing of CharlieUniformTango (CUT), a full service-post production studio. The organization, which also has an Austin facility, specializes in creative editorial, visual effects, audio mixing, digital production, video and film production and other creative client services. CUT adds to the distinct creative energy and arts that One Arts Plaza and the Dallas Arts District represent.

"We are pleased to have CUT as our latest tenant," says Lucy Billingsley, Partner, Billingsley Company, and developer of One Arts Plaza. "They will add an incredible energy and vibe which will further enhance the film, video and arts throughout our area. I am proud of our whole team and congratulate them on leasing all of our commercial space."

In addition to CUT, many other prominent organizations have made One Arts Plaza their luxury address. In a move reflective of The Art Community Alliance’s (TACA) role as financial supporter of the performing arts, the organization also recently relocated its offices to the lobby floor of One Arts Plaza. TACA’s new location places it in the core of the Arts District surrounded by many of the arts organizations it supports. More than a dozen TACA beneficiaries are housed or perform in neighboring facilities.

Knoll also recently opened a new Dallas showroom on the ground floor of One Arts Plaza. Knoll has made a commitment to the Dallas architecture and design community with modern furnishings and accessories for the workplace and home for the past 50 years. At nearly 10,000 square feet, it features soaring 18-foot ceilings and will provide enhanced resources to the design community in Dallas, including new product displays for office and residential furnishings, textiles and accessories. Knoll Dallas also received LEED certification from the U.S. Green Building Council for the environmental consciousness of their space. This new certification adds to the green focus One Arts Plaza has made along with other Billingsley Company developments.

"These fine organizations have realized the investment we made into the Dallas’ Arts District," says Billingsley. "They in turn, have invested in us and realized One Arts Plaza connects the best of the arts and commerce with the new face of urban Dallas."

In addition to the remarkable amount of commercial space that has been leased, there are only 17 luxury residential condos that are on the market. Many people are realizing the allure of vertical living amongst the arts and are calling One Arts Plaza home.

"One Arts Plaza provides a front row seat to the arts that overlooks your own kingdom," says Billingsley. "People are excited about what’s happening here and we would like to share this value and investment into the Dallas Arts District by calling One Arts Plaza home. There is nothing more spectacular than having the Dallas Arts District at your doorstep."

Please visit www.oneartsplaza.com for more information on One Arts Plaza.
