Are Your Ducts Making You Sick?
If you have a heating or cooling systems that uses air ducts, you could have a problem. There are many duct systems that are poorly designed and installed that have the ability to bring pollutants into your home. Some are ducts are located in wet or damp crawl spaces and basements. I've seen some of these areas and some look like an open sewer. Having ducts that are not properly sealed or insulated in these locations can draw moisture, mold, bacteria and even carbon monoxide into the building. Unsealed ducts have the same effect as opening a hatch to these ares, the only difference is that you don't see it and the fan from the heating or cooling appliance will force more of the...

Updating Your HVAC System
The shock of skyrocketing utilities bills may have you thinking about upgrading your HVAC system…. and rightly so, because there is no chance the fuel costs are going to go down. The newer heating and air conditioner systems are much more efficient than older units and offer significant long-term energy savings. The Government has mandated that any cooling units should have a SEER rating of at least 13 starting in 2006 and this is good, because a twenty-year unit may have a SEER rating of only 7 or 8. However, for real savings you should look at your whole home as an energy eating beast that needs to be put on a diet. This includes repairing air leaking windows and door...

Heating an old House!

Author: Mike Yeager


Heating an old House!

Heating an old house is a challenging and rewarding endeavor! There are more factors to be considered in heating an old house than one might think at the start. On the plus side, old houses are generally built sturdier than present day homes, with thicker walls and more extensive foundations. On the other hand, wear and tear over the years may have resulted in conditions that make heating an old home difficult. Insulation may be in need of repair, or even non-existent. Wiring may be insufficient to adequately support the electrical needs of heating an old house. All of these concerns are fixable. Whether you would do it yourself or bring in a professional, heating an old house is an achievable project.


You’ll want to consider the many choices open these days to determine the method you prefer for heating an old house. There has been a lot of interest in radiant heating. Radiant heat involves placing a heating system of tubes through the floor, either of electronic or hydronic radiant heat, which is then covered in with concrete. Both oil furnaces and gas furnaces have come a long way from what they were a few years back. Heating an old house with a new furnace works very well. Heat pumps and solar heating systems are both excellent alternatives to tap into the energy around us, to save money in the long run and go easy on our natural resources.

Alternative Heating – How Much Room Do You Need?
Even if you owned a million dollar townhouse in Boston’s Back Bay, there just isn't enough room on a 25' x 100' lot for a townhouse, small deck, a couple of parking spaces AND a closed loop geothermal heating system. If you live in high humidity Alabama, the less expensive and environmentally friendly swamp cooler will never be a viable substitute for central air conditioning. Only when you narrow down the choices for alternative heating or cooling based on where you live, can you begin to focus your time and energy on the most relevant, cost effective heating solution. Urban Alternative Heating Geothermal, outdoor furnaces and most wind power are not suitable for urban or small-lot suburban homes. Except for very small wind turbines (i.e., with rotors one meter or less in diameter) on very small towers, a property size of one acre or more is desirable. Wood burning stoves have been used in urban areas for as long as I can remember.I bought my first air tight stove in 1976. Corn and wood pellet stoves are quickly gaining acceptance as new installations or replacements for existing wood stoves. One Connecticut pellet stove dealer I spoke with said he sold so many wood pellet and corn stoves last winter he was forced to temporarily close one of his two stores for lack of product. An adaptation of the wood or pellet stove is the fully vented fireplace insert. They are comparably priced to freestanding stoves and offer a simple way to turn an otherwise inefficient fireplace into a source of heat for multiple rooms. Unvented gas log fireplaces or propane space heaters are less expensive to purchase and install but are controversial with respect to health risks and are prohibited in some localities. Make sure the unit you purchase has an ODS (Oxygen Depletion...
