  • Home Fires Involving Heating Equipment
    Home Fires Involving Heating Equipment December 2018 Richard Campbell ©December 2018 National Fire Protection Association Key Findings Local fire departments responded to an estimated average of 52,050 fires involving heating equipment each year in 2012-2016. Home fires involving heating equipment caused an estimated average of 490 civilian deaths and 1,400 civilian injuries each year in 2012-2016, as well as an estimated $1.03 billion in direct property damage a year. Space heaters accounted for more than two in five (44%) of home heating equipment fires, but these fires were responsible for 86% of civilian deaths and 78% of civilian injuries caused by heating fires. Fires in which the heat source was too close to combustibles were associated with the largest shares of civilian deaths, civilian injuries, and direct property damage. Home heating equipment fires are less likely to occur in the overnight hours between midnight and 8 a.m. (19% of total), but these fires account for almost half (48%) of the civilian deaths. Nearly half (48%) of all home heating fires occurred in December, January, and February. Home Fires Involving Heating Equipment Heating equipment is a leading cause of fires in U.S. One dies, three injured when fireplace ember starts homes. Heating equipment was responsible for 15% of house fire home structure fires in 2012-2016, ranking as the second leading cause behind fires caused by cooking A 60-year-old man died and three female residents were injured in an early morning house fire that started equipment. Home heating equipment fires also when wind blew a fireplace ember onto a nearby sofa accounted for nearly one-fifth (19%) of civilian deaths and the resulting fire rapidly spread, cutting off escape (tied for third behind fires caused by smoking materials through the front door.

  • Heat Pump Technology Opportunities in Santa Clara County a COST-EFFECTIVENESS STUDY
    Heat Pump Technology Opportunities in Santa Clara County A COST-EFFECTIVENESS STUDY April 2019 ` Heat Pump Technology Opportunities in Santa Clara County Executive Summary Nearly one third of Silicon Valley Clean Energy’s (SVCE’s) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are from the combustion of natural gas in building appliances, such as for space and water heating. Given SVCE’s carbon-free electricity supply, a key strategy to reduce GHG emissions from the built environment is to replace natural gas appliances with efficient electric appliances that run on clean electricity. This fuel-switching activity is referred to as “electrification.” This report documents a cost-effectiveness analysis of space conditioning and water heating electrification opportunities in Santa Clara County, the two end uses which are responsible for the majority of natural gas consumption in buildings. The lifetime net cost of ownership was calculated and compared for natural gas and electric appliances, for water heating, space heating and combined space heating and cooling, for both single-family residential and small commercial buildings. The cost-effectiveness evaluation was carried out from the customer perspective, meaning all costs and revenues born by the customer were considered, including, for instance, installation costs, equipment costs, and ongoing fuel costs. Electrifying an end use is cost-effective if the lifetime net cost of ownership for the electric appliance is lower than that of the natural gas appliance. The costs were also expressed in terms of the incremental cost of GHG abatement, to facilitate comparisons to other GHG abatement measures. The sensitivity of the results to the various input assumptions was captured through a scenario analysis and represented as error bars in the figures of results.

    Residential | Energy Efficiency | 101 Tips Home > Residential ● Small Appliances ● Refrigerators and Freezers ● Dishwashers ● Ranges and Ovens ● Washers and Dryers ● Water Heaters and Water Usage ● Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers ● Lighting ● Central Air Conditioners ● Room Air Conditioners ● Fans ● Heating ● Office Small Appliances 1. Cook with small appliances. Cook with your toaster oven, electric skillet and slow cooker for specialized jobs, rather than the range. Small appliances use less energy. 2. Use the microwave. Microwave ovens shorten cooking times, which saves energy. 3. Clean or replace air filters. Replace filters on exhaust hoods, humidifiers, vacuums, etc. Clogged filters impair performance and cause the units to run longer. 4. Run cold water for disposal. Hot water requires energy to warm the water. Cold water saves energy and solidifies grease, moving it more easily through the garbage disposal and pipes. TOP Refrigerators and Freezers 5. Purchase an ENERGY STAR model. When buying a new refrigerator or freezer, look for the ENERGY STAR label. ENERGY STAR refrigerators and freezers can save you hundreds of dollars on your electric bill over the life of the appliance. Remember, older refrigerators and freezers use two to three times more electricity than ones that are 10 years old or less. 6. Select the right size. Determine your household’s needs before purchasing a refrigerator or freezer. One that is too large wastes energy. 7. Only use one refrigerator or freezer. You can spend up to $120 in electricity per year using a second refrigerator or freezer. If you want to use a second refrigerator or freezer during holidays or for special occasions, turn it on one to two days before you need it.

  • Space Heater Guide
    ENERGY SAVINGTIPS SPACE HEATER GUIDE Heating your home with electric space heaters can easily double or triple your electric bill if you are not careful. Even though they are typically small in size, and often touted as 100% efficient, electric space heaters use a lot of electricity. Most space heaters use on average 1,500 Watts of electricity and cost about 15¢ an hour to operate. While that may not sound like much, it can add up quickly if heaters are left on for several hours a day. Leaving one space heater on for 8 hours a day for a period of one month could easily add an additional $30-$40 to your monthly electric bill. Following are some good tips to help manage your electric bill if you use electric space heaters in your home. Do not heat rooms that are not in use Space heaters should only be used in rooms you are occupying and should never be left unattended. Remembering to turn off heaters when you leave a room can help you save money on your electric bill. Use a thermometer to monitor room temperature Most space heaters do not have individual thermostats or temperature controls, and those that do are often inaccurate or hard to read. Use a separate room thermometer to accurately monitor room temperature and avoid overheating. Your central heating system may be a better choice If you are using multiple space heaters in your home for more than a few hours a day, it may be more efficient to use your central furnace for heating.
