The U.S. gutter market is made up of over 16,000 small gutter installers, and another 15,000 home improvement companies who most often subcontract to the other 16,000 small installers. Service is generally spotty—at the high end of the market prices are very expensive, generally $15-25/linear foot, and the low end, which is where most of the work gets done the quality of the customer experience is poor.

Product claims are frequently overstated … every product is better than the other guy?s product. With the advent of new "filtration" systems such as MasterShield, LeafFilter and Leaf Relief, claims are even bolder. Most products come with great sounding warranties, but most warranties are craftily worded to avoid liability. In short, it is very much a Buyer Beware market.

Gutter Genius changes all that. We are a disruptive business model. We manufacture and market a low cost, solid metal, do-it-yourself product that is simple to install with any flat edge tool, and we offer professional installation of our Gutter Genius product line with a great warranty in plain English, supported by a growing network of Gutter Genius franchisees.

Homeowners today are more concerned than ever before about the quality of the air inside their homes. Buyers demand that their homes be free of mold growth and pollutants generated by building materials. Adding to the concerns of creating fresh, healthy indoor air is the fact that home owners and many building codes are demanding tight energy efficient homes. Thus, a challenge arises: how to design and build a tight, energy efficient home with a healthy indoor environment.

The new WhisperComfort—a spot Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) from Panasonic Home & Environment Company, and the first ceiling-insert ERV in the United States—offers a new way for our customers to recover energy in their home, while exhausting stale air and supplying fresh air. Expanding Panasonic's robust line of ventilation fans, the WhisperComfort ERV exhausts stale air from inside the home and replaces it with fresh air from outdoors, providing builders and homeowners with an affordable way to efficiently meet spot or whole-house ventilation requirements.

The WhisperGreen Single-Speed features Panasonic's patented SmartFlow™ Optimum CFM Technology, an "electronic brain" that allows the fan to perform at a constant CFM regardless of duct elbows and other factors up to 0.25 inch static pressure. WhisperGreen Single Speed is capable of running at extremely low sone levels thanks to TechnoFlow™, a patented technology that allows for the quietest operation of any ventilation fan in its category.

"Panasonic remains dedicated to providing the green building industry with simple, affordable solutions that let consumers know they are contributing to environmentally conscious building and, more importantly, protecting themselves from harmful indoor pollutants," said Victor Flynn, National Marketing Manager, Panasonic Home & Environment Company. "With the Single Speed model of our WhisperGreen ventilation fan, Panasonic has created an ultra-quiet product that will meet homeowners' ventilation needs while providing significant savings on energy costs."

What is round, soft green in color, made of space-age ceramics, weighs 140 pounds (the large size) and is, in a design sense, 3,000 years old? It's Big Green Egg®, the kamado cooker with an army of adherents (Good Eggs) that make Saab devotees seem positively mainstream!

It was U.S. servicemen in Asia who shipped kamados back home after WW II, thus starting the modern phase of the cooker's evolution.

Where to begin? Some 86 percent of U.S. families own barbecue grills; the average outdoor cooking aficionado has 1.6. But with the Big Green Egg you'll need only one grill, because the EGG is at the top of its game in any cooking mode: grilling, low 'n slow barbecuing, smoking and even baking. The EGG has made believers of literally everyone who tries it; one fan wrote in that "any mistakes I make on my Big Green Egg are better than anything I can cook on a gas grill."

The EGG comes in five sizes; there's one to fit literally any household's needs: mini, small, medium, large and the new XL model specifically intended for the outdoor chef who has a large family, entertains regularly or even does catering.

This high quality kamado cooker is fueled by natural lump charcoal, which it consumes sparingly (a 20 lb. bag will last for 2 to 3 months or more, even cooking out several times a week.) Approximately 80 percent of the charcoal remains unburned after cooking, and it can be saved for your next cookout by simply closing all vents, thus the reuse factor makes the Big Green Egg® cost-efficient as well as versatile and fun.

The typical metal gas grill has a life expectancy of 4.1 years on average. The EGG™ comes with a lifetime warranty against damage from normal use. It's simple math: buying a new grill every 4 or 5 years vs. enjoying the durable, versatile EGG for a lifetime!

With user benefits nearly too numerous to cover, the Big Green Egg leaves other kamado cookers literally green with envy. In a marketing environment of planned product obsolescence, the EGG is built to last. There are no "hot spots" or flare-ups from within and no need to add charcoal even during long term cooking. The innovative ceramic material is the same as that used on space shuttles, and keeps the outside surface far cooler than any gas grill. The Big Green Egg will smoke a turkey or a ham in about one-quarter the time of a water smoker.

All that and incredible fuel-efficiency, too. Gas grills are said to offer the ultimate in outdoor cooking convenience, but the EGG gets ready to cook in less time, keeps meat and fowl more moist and juicy, and has the flavor of charcoal because it cooks with charcoal.

One Big Green Egg® has more diverse cooking capabilities than a warehouse of other grills combined, at any price. As a smoker it provides a wide range of temperatures from a controlled 150° to 350°F. As a grill it sears and cooks foods at very high temperatures (up to 800°F), and as an oven it will bake pizza, bread and more, as well as a brick oven does. For the cooking perfectionist, temperatures are controllable to within a degree or two.

Designed and built for heavy duty use, the Big Green Egg cannot be harmed by extreme external temperature, rain or snow. Literally impervious to weather, it cleans up easily, and inside heat burns off grease and spatters just as with a self-cleaning oven. It is as close to perfect as we can make it, and will last nearly forever.

The Big Green Egg is, quite simply, alone in its class. Similar appearing cookers are indeed on the market but have a painted exterior and inferior ceramic components. If a better EGG™ is ever built, we will hatch it!
