According to the MS Society, MS is a neurological condition that affects nerves in the brain and spinal cord. Your immune system damages your nerve fibers, leaving patches of scar tissue, distorting or interrupting the journeys of nerve impulses.

Most people are diagnosed in their 40s and 50s, although it can occur at other times. Stats also show that MS is three times more common in women than it is in men.

What are the symptoms? What makes MS particularly difficult to treat and support is the unpredictability of its symptoms. No two people have the same experience of the condition. Symptoms can include excessive fatigue, spasms, stiffness, and vision problems as well as cognitive problems such as short-term memory and concentration issues. Although there is no cure, there are a number of methods to manage the symptoms including medication, diet, and exercise.​

What DO we do as a company? Every year during Derek's birthday month of March we wear ORANGE shoe covers instead of our signature YELLOW shoe covers to raise awareness. Every customer that we visit during that month is encouraged to take pictures wearing their orange apparel and post those pictures on social media using the #OrangeOutMS hashtag.

For every photo taken and submitted Simmons One Hour will make a $10 donation to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Power bills are coming in from our cold weather! 

Did you use too much electric heat to stay warm or was it ON without you knowing?

“How do I know when my emergency heat is on?"

One way to know if your electric heat is on and working is if you go to your thermostat and look, it should be indicated by saying electric heat is on and there might be a red light, or it might also say auxiliary heat.

If you have an older thermostat you will see that auxiliary or emergency heat light on. Another thing that I would do is to have maintenance performed on the system before the heating season because some people can get surprised that their heat is running with the emergency heat on and there is some kind of malfunction. It may be working, you’re comfortable, but then the power bill comes in and it's over a few hundred bucks, and your stuck thinking “what in the world is going on?”.

I would get maintenance done before the heating season just like before the cooling season. Get it checked out to make sure everything is working properly and make sure everything is good to go because you don’t want to get stuck with that large bill at the end of the month.
