  • 101 Ways to Save Energy
    101 Ways to Save Energy It may not seem like using a LED light bulb or fixing a leaky faucet will do much to reduce your energy costs - or protect the environment. But if every household practiced just a few simple conservation ideas like the 101 easy ways to save below, we could reduce energy consumption by a significant amount. All it takes is a few minutes each month, and you'll notice a difference - and make a difference! 1. Do a home energy audit. This survey analyzes your home's structure, appliances and insulation, as well as your family's lifestyle. Heating Your Home 2. Change or clean your furnace filter once a month. Dust and dirt can quickly clog vital parts, making your furnace run harder and eventually break down. 3. Have your heating system inspected regularly - especially if it's natural gas. A $50-100 annual tune-up can help reduce your heating costs by up to five percent. 4. If you have a forced-air furnace, do NOT close heat registers in unused rooms. Your furnace is designed to heat a specific square footage of space and can't sense a register is closed - it will continue working at the same pace. In addition, the cold air from unheated rooms can escape into the rest of the house, reducing the effectiveness of all your insulating and weatherizing. 5. Install a programmable thermostat. If you use it to set back the temperature by 10 degrees for eight hours every night, you'll lower your heating bills by 10 percent.

  • Fans in the Attic: Do They Help Or Do They Hurt?
    Helpful? 0 Sign in to vote Fans in the Attic: Do They Help or Do They Hurt? Homeowners in hot climates need to understand the difference between whole- house fans and powered attic ventilators Posted on Oct 26 2012 by Martin Holladay, GBA Advisor Image 1 of 6 Open your windows before you turn on the fan. A whole-house fan is usually installed on the attic floor near the center of your house. In the late evening or early morning, the fan is turned on to exhaust hot air from the house. Cooler outdoor air enters through open windows, lowering the indoor temperature. There’s a lot of confusion surrounding attic fans. Here at GBA, we regularly receive e-mails from homeowners with questions about attic fans: What’s the purpose of the fan in my attic? How often should I run it? Do I need a bigger fan? Before addressing these recurring questions, it’s important to define our terms. First, we need to distinguish between three different types of ventilation fans. The most common kind of residential ventilation fan is one used to provide fresh air for building occupants. Examples of this type of fan include the fans in a heat-recovery ventilator (HRV) or an energy-recovery ventilator (ERV), as well as some types of bathroom exhaust fans. (For more information on this type of ventilation fan, see Designing a Good Ventilation System.) Whole-house fans are sometimes confused with ventilation fans that provide fresh air. Unlike a ventilation fan, a whole-house fan — an attic-mounted fan that exhausts air from a home at night — is designed to cool a house (that is, to lower the indoor temperature).

  • Homeowner's Permit Guide
    HOMEOWNER’S PERMIT GUIDE WHEN IS A PERMIT REQUIRED? Department of Development and Permits nd 306 Cedar Road, City Hall 2 Floor P.O. Box 15225 Chesapeake, VA 23328 Phone: (757) 382-6018 Fax: (757) 382-8448 Email Address: [email protected] Website: Cityofchesapeake.net This booklet has been prepared as a guide for homeowners. It lists typical jobs that a homeowner might undertake and indicates whether permits or plans (drawings) and/or site plans are required to obtain a permit in the City of Chesapeake. A homeowner occupying his own dwelling may perform all ordinary repairs and construction work on the dwelling. Ordinary repairs, in most cases, do not require a permit, such as painting, installing carpet and replacing trim. Jobs listed as requiring a permit may be performed after securing a permit from the Department of Development and Permits. When a permit or the filing of plans is required, the requirement is a matter of state law or city ordinance. Its purpose is to protect you, your family and your neighbors from the effects of the repair or addition(s) which may violate building and/or zoning codes and may cause fire or other hazard to life and property. It’s advisable to speak with a building, plumbing, electrical or mechanical inspector before beginning a project. This will give you a better understanding of the documents required for your project. With some projects, zoning approval may also be involved. For a home occupation permit, please call the Zoning Administration of the Department of Development and Permits at 382-6018.
