SHARING FROM RESIDENT EXPERIENCE:

Recently our power went out as I believe also happened to many here in the Plantation . Our air conditioning went out also. When I looked at our thermostat there was no readout visible. I tried to reset it but nothing worked. After a number calls to Honeywell and DelAir, I learned of a way to reset the thermostat without having to call DelAir and pay for an expensive service call.

I was told by a rep at DelAir to shut the A/C off at the box. In other words, turn the circuit breaker off at the box and wait 30 minutes before turning the circuit breaker back on. I did this and it worked! I reprogrammed the thermostat and within 5 minutes I had A/C.

I mention this because I understand a number of residents are calling DelAir and paying a lot of money for a service call because most don’t have contracts with DelAir. This simple piece of advice saved us from an expensive service call.

Message from Dennis Latiak, HOA Manager

 

< I know Sheriff Walter Wolf sends out notices on the different type of scams, thefts and break-ins around our area, but I would like to reiterate the following.

Our residents contact local contractors to do work around and in their homes and the HOA does not have any control over these arrangements, but take the following advice prior to entering into an agreement with a contractor of goods and services.

 

  1. Do not pay a contractor in advance
  2. Have a written contract of goods and services signed by you and the contractor
  3. Do not make a final payment until you are satisfied with the job performed
  4. Call the Better Business Bureau if you have any suspicion of the contractor
  5. Notify the guards gate of when the contractor is scheduled to do the work
  6. If a contractor is soliciting call the guard gate or administration with the name of the contractor and a phone number if available

Thank you and be careful when using a contractor you do not know.

SAFETY SIMON SAYS......
Staying with "awareness" as our theme we can see that being aware not only helps us in reducing the odds of becoming a victim to crime it can also help us in protecting ourselves from becoming an accident victim.  Throughout our community we can see a number of people making assumptions.  When driving a car you might assume because we are a quiet community with minimal traffic you would only need to slow down and look and not come to a complete stop at a stop sign before continuing.  Same when driving a golf cart.  A number of drivers of both cars and golf carts allow their pets to sit on their laps assuming that as a driver they still have complete control of their vehicle.  A walker, jogger or bicyclist while wearing both ear pieces to listen to their music assume that they can still "hear" oncoming traffic or other dangers.  In all of the above examples the assumption of safety is mistaken.   Be aware instead.  Be aware that even with our minimal traffic accidents do happen.  Make sure to stop and look before continuing.  Be aware that it takes only a split second for an accident to happen.  A pet in your arm, though you and your pet may be enjoying the ride, can be a disadvantage and distraction in that spit second.  What safety does your pet enjoy in case of a collision and the vehicle's air bag employs?  Or your pet is thrown from the golf cart?   Injuries do occur even at slow speeds.  And when you are out and about listening to your music through your headphones be totally aware of your surroundings at all times.  Drivers may assume that you can hear them approaching while you assume that drivers see you and are looking out for you.  Both assumptions could result with you getting hurt.  And would you be able to hear a "bad guy" approaching?  Yes, even here we are not immune to the criminal element.
So be safe.  Be aware.
