Heating

The latest E-mail from Mike Huckabee and HuckPAC:   Well it's summer and things are predictably heating up.  Not just in your backyard but on Capitol Hill as well. Republicans in the House and Senate are fighting for a balanced energy plan to bring relief to families everywhere.  All week Republican legislators in the House have staged a rally demanding Speaker Nancy Pelosi c

“It’s global warming.” Until that moment, our native guide at Cotopaxi National Park had only spoken to us in spanish.  But she had learned enough english to point out the environmental threat to Ecuador’s second highest peak. Pictures in the national park’s museum clearly showed how far the snows had receded over the past thirty years. On the [...]

We all know that oil prices have skyrocketed over the past couple years. Gasoline prices have gone up drastically as well. So it should be no surprise that home heating oil has also jumped in price substantially.Natural gas prices are also on the rise. Across the nation natural gas is going up. The utility here is asking for a whopping 40% increase in their rates for natural gas.So what h

I talked to my home heating oil company this week. I am on the 9 month budget plan and my budget will increase $160.00 per month over last year. Yeah, that is $160.00 more per month, outrageous. My cap on the budget plan is $4.99 per gallon for heating oil. That is what my budget is based on. If home heating oil goes higher than that I am capped at the $4.99. Assuming I use no more oil than I did

Using electric radiant floors as a supplemental heating source in a room has become very popular in the last few years.  We’ve decided to install 1000 sq. ft. of electric radiant heat in the basement of our house to take the cold edge off the concrete slab, which otherwise stays a brisk 55 degrees all year round. When [...]

It may be July right now but its certainly not too late to start planning your heating budget for this winter. Around here there are very few oil dealers even offering pre-buy this year.

If the $5 mark h

The winter months can seem more than a little long at times. In addition to the drab chill outside, it seems that every year my heating bill was getting higher and higher on the inside. A friend I was talking to had an old home and old windows, and used Creative Energy’s expert advice to save money. Creative Energy (of Richmond VA) windows not only saved my friend after they were installed, but

Solar heating can be used to heat the space in homes and buildings or to heat the water. There are two basic types of solar heating systems: passive solar heating and active solar heating. The appropriate use of windows along with building design is called passive solar heating. The buildings can be designed to make the best use of the sun in winter while keeping the heat out in summer. South-faci

The Bixby corn stove was introduced to the market in 2002 by Bob Walker. His name may not ring a bell, but the Sleep Number Bed, which he also invented, surely will.Walker’s vision of 21st century heating also includes a bio mass pellet that can be manufactured locally from whatever resources are available such as crop or animal waste. The pellets would be distributed in much the same way heating oil is delivered.Although Mr. Walker’s vision may not become reality tomorrow, today’s Bixby corn burning stove is already in its third generation.As the title of this article implies, these stoves don’t come cheap. Bixby’s latest, the Model 115, is priced from around $3,995 and gets more expensive with the addition of deluxe trim options.What really sets this stove apart from the compet

The Xbox 360 version of Grand Theft Auto IV may have better episodic content, but Sony wants you to know the PS3 is where the game was meant to be played.I thought street wars were bad, but this console war crap is crazy!This week the gang war played out on the streets of Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto IV officially spilled into the realm of a real world console war as Sony started marketing the blockbuster title as one that is "meant to played" on the PlayStation 3, not the Xbox 360.The tag line originally appeared on the Amazon web site as part of a well-concealed paid advertising campaign by Sony.

When it comes to heating costs, most of us are not lucky enough to live in a temperate area with a constant year-round climate, and instead have to contend with winter heating bills that can be exceptionally high. When evaluating alternative home heating, an option that is often overlooked is passive solar heating. You not only save money, but energy as well. Even on the coldest winter days, the sun's heat can be significant. It's only the shortness of the days that keeps the snows from melting. What if you could harness that heating power, even for the short time you get it, without making huge changes to the structure of your home? There is an answer to some of the heating costs. It's called the Trombe wall. It is made of material that is used for thermal mass, usually stone or concrete.

Ondol, or “warm stone” has been used by Koreans since the fourth century B.C. and heats homes by the flow of hot air under the floor.

Tankless Water Heaters have been in the market for almost 40 years, yet they are only beginning to get the popularity that they deserve. Chances are you have heard of them, or at least seen the TV commercial. If not, consider this your introduction to "on Demand" hot water heaters. Tankless water heaters are a relatively new and efficient technology used to heat water. Traditional hot water heaters, have a disadvantage when it comes to operating, especially in cold climates. This is know as "standby heat loss". Basically a standard water heater looses heat through the walls of its tank. Every hot water heater is insulated against heat loss. Most of them contain a large copper water tank, surrounded by fiberglass insulation. but the even the best insulation allow a few degrees each hour to

We love air conditioners or aircon for short. There are those people who can not live without them. And there are those places where one should have at least one air conditioner because of the climate. It would be either too cold or too hot. Like in Saudi Arabia or maybe in China. I have heard that many died on China just last month because of the extreme cold weather. If they only have a heating air conditioner, maybe they will survive. Sad story.Anyway, a Dallas Air Conditioning company is offering three air conditioning brands, namely, Lennox, Trane and Carrier. Well, you might want to upgrade your air conditioning system. Why? First of all, an old aircon does take more electricity to cool or heat the room up compare to the newer once. It is called energy saving. And the newer

By: Christopher BrownMany people do not usually consider a wood burning stove to be an efficient source for heating your entire house. However, by utilizing a wood burning stove in conjunction with a boiler system, you may be able to save more than you would think and do so in an efficient manner.In the past there were many safety considerations you would have to make when considering a wood burning boiler. For one, boilers were believed to be dangerous and an outdated technology, but the systems that are available today offer many features that have made these systems safer.The newer technology of wood burning boiler systems allows you to place the system up to 500 feet away from the location that you are heating. In addition, you can heat other buildings as well with this one system, suc
