Quiet Cool Fans Are Good For The Environment

According to the EPA, if too little outdoor air enters your home, pollutants can form to levels that can pose health and comfort issues.

One way to lower levels of indoor air pollutants is to increase the amount of outdoor air coming in. Using a whole house fan is the most effective way to ventilate and cool your home.

There are numerous sources of indoor air pollutants. Some of these pollutants include substances such as gas, kerosene, coal, wood, smoke & tobacco products; furnishings, asbestos-containing insulation, damp carpet, cabinetry or furniture made of certain pressed wood, household cleaning and personal care products, central heating & air conditioner systems and humidification systems; & outdoor substances like radon, pesticides, & other outdoor air pollution. Remember, if you do not allow fresh outdoor air to enter your home, these pollutants may accumulate to levels that may cause health and comfort problems.

In recognizing the energy saving, cooling and ventilation benefits of installing whole house fans, many energy or electric utility companies give rebates to homeowners who buy and install Quiet Cool Whole House Fans. For individual state incentives we recommend this site:
http://www.dsireusa.org/


Attic Fan Attic fans are installed in the attic near the gable vent and are designed to exhaust hot air from the attic space. Attic fans are designed to remove hot air from the attic space, but do not pull air from the living area. On hot days, the temperature in the attic can be well over 90-100 degrees. The hot attic air gets trapped in the attic, and attic fans can be effective in pushing the hot air out which in turn helps to cool your living space. Attic fans are thought to be helpful in extending the life of your roof structure and other components. Attic fans, especially our new gable attic fan with an energy saver motor, draws very little power, saving energy while working to cool your home. Attic fans can also be effective in reducing attic moisture during cold weather.

Whole-House Fans A Whole-house system can be used instead of an air conditioner most of the year in most climates. Similar to attic fans, whole-house fans push hot, stale air out of the attic to help cool your home, office or building. However, instead of simply pushing the hot air out of the attic, a whole-house fan pulls cool air into the home through an open window and flushes hot air out of the home via your attic vents. Whole house fans cost much less to operate than air conditioning and are relatively easy to install. Whole house fans cool by providing air flow, ventilation, by lowering attic temperatures. Whole house fans are energy efficient and rebates are available from many energy or electric companies to help offset the cost of installing a whole house fan system. Also, make sure you order and install the proper number of whole house fans based on your homes' square footage.

Boiler maintenance products

Many householders only pay attention to their boilers when there is a failure and it needs to be repaired. The costs associated with these boiler repairs are typically high both in labor, much of which is done on an overtime basis, and the associated downtime. By far this is the least desirable approach to boiler maintenance. Therfor, a regular proactive maintenance program pays dividends when you have peak boiler performance. The goal of annual boiler maintenance is to have all of the components of the boiler inspected, ensuring they are in proper working condition.

Houseneeds sells several products that will help maintain your boiler system. Please find information about these products in this email.

Heatlink EasyFit Plumbing PEX Manifolds

Heatlink Easyfit Pex Manifolds come in 2 and 3 Port Tees and are sold with 1/2" PEX adapters. So just order the actual amount of ports you need and you should be good to go. There are several different End Connection you need to choose from as well as 3/4" Tee to allow you to send hot or cold water to a separte plumbing manifold in a different location. If you want to use this manifold with 3/8 Inch PEX tubing - buy our Coupler 1/2 by 3/8 inch for each branch you want to use with 3/8 Inch PEX. Use silicone lubricant to lubricate dry o-rings to ensure a tight seal. In case a leak develops during testing, remove pressure from system, clean the o-ring, and reapply silicon lube. When placing the manifold into the supporting bracket, place the bottom snap-in lock in the bottom (braced) notch in bracket and then rotate it so that the top snaps into place. In order to prevent stress on the manifold supply end connections, the supply piping must be braced or supported, parallel to the manifold and centred with the manifold’s inlets.
