For example, a control is typically no small task or small expense. These options offer flexibility and efficiency. Heat pumps pull from the ground or outside air temperature to both heat your home in the winter and cool it in the summer. Since heat pumps move heat instead of gen- erating it, they’re energy-efficient year-round. Hybrid systems or combination systems combine elements of both a furnace and heat pump. The more efficient heat pump runs until the outside air temperature falls below a certain level, at which point the system automatically switches the heat source to the furnace. This option is more expensive up front, but can generate significant savings in terms of monthly utility bills long-term. Ductless systems are a flexible, efficient choice for homeowners looking for simple solutions. These systems can be easily mounted on the wall or ceiling, and don’t require ductwork, making them ideal for a converted attic space or addition. Efficiency Ratings An HVAC system can be rated in a number of different ways. While some of these ratings may be con- fusing, it is helpful to understand what they mean. AFUE: The Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency rating mea- sures the amount of fuel used to heat your home against the amount of fuel wasted. A higher rating indi- cates a more efficient system. SEER: The higher the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, the more efficient your system and the less it will cost to heat and cool your home. Federal regulations require all new HVAC systems to have a SEER rating of 13 or higher. HSPF: The Heating Seasonal Performance Factor measures the efficiency of a heat pump when it is used to heat a home. A higher rat- ing indicates greater efficiency and greater monthly savings on energy bills. New HVAC units are required to have a rating of 7.7 or higher.

Now maintained at 416 Clark Street as a museum by the Cincinnati chapter of the National Society of Colonial Dames of America, which includes members from Oakwood and the Dayton area, the structure is regarded as Ohio’s oldest brick home still sited on its original foundation, and one of – if not the - earliest instances of Federal style architecture in the city. The home’s namesake, William Betts, was born in New Jersey in 1763, more than a decade before the American Revolution. After marrying his wife, Phebe, in 1786, he moved his family westward, first to Brownsville, a river town in western Pennsylvania in 1795, before arriving in Cincinnati on a flatboat in 1800. Betts attempted to settle near Lebanon, but a failed land deal saw the family’s return to Cincinnati. Betts had loaned a local tavern keeper, Joel Williams, a considerable sum and when Williams was unable to repay the debt he settled the account by Dwarfed by a later neighbor, the 1804 Betts House is the oldest brick deeding more than 110 acres west home still standing on its original foundation in Ohio.

Lewandowski qualifies for state, leads burgeoning Oakwood wrestling program Oakwood High School’s 132-pound powerhouse, A.J. Lewandowski, qualified for the Ohio High School Athletic Association State Wrestling Tournament last Saturday.

Now a high school junior, he made a district run both his freshman and sophomore years - a sizable feat. But pinning down a state berth takes more than natural tal- ent. It is a totally different beast. So Lewandowski got to work. Over the past year he attended myriad camps, tournaments, and clinics, zig-zagging across the map to wrestle some of the state’s best competition. And now he has prov- en himself one of Ohio’s finest. But Lewandowski’s accom- plishment was not only a per- sonal victory - it was a win for the entire Oakwood wrestling pro- gram. Over the past six years, the high school team has exploded Oakwood’s A.J.
