ecoENERGY Retrofit Grant Program - Regrettably, Time for The Second Assessment?

April 15th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Well, it has been just over 4 months since we had the first Energy Efficiency Assessment (i.e., energy audit) conducted on our home as part of our participation in the Canadian Federal Government’s ecoENERGY Retrofit program. We have written extensively about the Energy Efficiency Evaluation Report we received from this assessment, and you can find […]

The Solaris 24V Cordless, electric self-propelled lawn mower from Linamar Consumer Products has the power of a high-end gas mower, even in long grass.

So what? The product's web site says can run completely on solar energy via it's solar charging station option. No gas emissions. No recharging by plugging into the electrical outlet in the garage.

This new product must be real. Even the Toronto Star published an article about it in their Business section on Saturday April 5, 2008.

UPDATE: We just returned this evening (April 11, 2008) with our new solar charged electric lawn mower. It is really something. And as a further update, today April 18th we just connected the solar charging station and see the green flashing light indicating we did it correctly and the 25V solar panel is charging the batteries!

We will be writing some articles, with pictures, about it and our experiences later this spring. For now, to learn more about this new energy conservation product simply click on the picture of the lawn mower above to go to the manufacturer's web site.

Imagine. A solar powered lawn mower. Spring can't come here soon enough!

This screen-like product fits on the outside of any size or shape of window in a home, cottage, office or RV to repel much of the sun's direct UV rays and significantly reduce both the inside temperature build-up as well as damage caused on interior flooring and furniture without reducing the view.

The cost? Under $3 a square foot.

Our series of articles with pictures on our installation experiences and how this product works for us on our huge south facing windows starts with Exterior Solar Blinds - Part 1 - The Need.

UPDATE: We just finished (April 7, 2008) intalling EZ Snap on our 3 south facing windows. It went easier than expected and we are very pleased. We have lots of pictures and experiences to share with you. And we will, when our Exterior Solar Blind series of articles continues soon.

We are really excited about this product. Bring on the sun!

Replacement Front Door - Update

Visitors to Daily Home Renovation Tips have seen every few days articles in the continuing series about the issues we have had with the purchase and installation of our replacement front door.

Good News! Today, April 11, 2008, we received word that the door manufacturer and the retailer have agreed to not only redo the installation but also to provide a new front door (rather than simply removing the current door and re-installing it). We are VERY appreciative of this situation.

How did we arrive at this situation? We will tell you in future articles as part of our Exterior Replacement Door series. To start at the beginning of this series, simply select this link to Exterior Replacement Door - Part 1 - The Ad in the Paper .
