Common Air Duct Materials

Building a house from scratch is a long process. There are so much to choose from and so many decisions to make when developing a house into a home. From pouring the foundation to putting up the wood that ultimately designs the house, it is one of the few steps where you can visually see […]

Energy Audits

My grandmother called me the other day unsure of how to work her new iPad. My aunt’s bought her an iPad for her birthday last week. They showed her how to use it but she ultimately forgot. Since it was the weekday and all of my aunt’s were at work, I went over after my […]

Balancing Air Duct Supply and Return

I don’t mind my job. Many people loathe waking up in the morning and going to work. But I don’t mind waking up and facing the same schedule that I do every week. My schedule consists of: wake up, eat, go to work, drive home, eat, go to bed and do the same thing over […]

Leaky Ductworks

I have been working on my house all summer to get rid of things. I have boxes full of junk that I don’t necessarily need. I devoted one weekend of just going through those boxes and cleaning out my basement. I had things that were from when I graduated high school. One box had old […]

Programmable Thermostats

Cooling and Heating Load Reduction

I remember back in highschool taking American history. History was my favorite subject in school and I didn’t mind it. I always got “A’s” in that class and I thoroughly enjoyed the way my teacher taught. I remember one particular topic was a lesson on labor laws. A lot of workers in the early 1920s […]

Changing Air Filters

I had the choice to rent a townhouse or rent a house for my last year of school. I chose to rent a townhouse because my electricity, heating, cooling and water was all included with my room and board. I didn’t want to have the responsibility of finding an electrical company or HVAC company and […]

Avoid Oversizing Your HVAC System

My friend has been having a tough time buying a house. She is too picky with her decision. I told her at this point she needs to write the houses she wants the most on a card and put it in a hat. She told me it is a serious decision (which I do agree) […]
