February 21st, 2010 · No Comments

Yesterday we wrote about the email we received last week from Cathy regarding our usage of the PowerCost Monitor from BlueLine Innovations. She wanted to know if it helped us in our efforts to maximize our energy savings by reducing electricity consumed in our home.
Well, let’s talk about it then.
The first and most fundamental point about […]

February 20th, 2010 · No Comments

About 10 days ago we received an email from Cathy.
No, not my wife.

She had seen our prior article back in November on the PowerCost Monitor, this new (to […]

SOLAR AIR HEATER / COLLECTOR

On 01-NOV-08 we installed the CSA approved Cansolair Model RA 240 Solar Max solar air heating / collector device to help heat our home this winter and beyond.

Solar air heating devices can frequently be installed by the average home owner themselves. We did!

Solar air heaters typically consume zero home heating oil or natural gas, producing no harmful polluting emissions and costing you no money to generate the heat throughout the winter, except for electricity to run the small fan, if that.

To read about our experiences with this solar air collector device you can start at the first article in our Solar Air Heating series.

EZ SNAP SOLAR SHADES

As we wrote in this article this screen-like energy conservation device reduced the sun's UV rays entering our home so much that it caused our digital thermometer's temperature reading to actually

decrease by 15 degrees F

and keep it much cooler inside.

We keep them on all year with the sun much lower in the sky during the winter. Visit the manufacturer's web site directly by selecting the above EZ Snap graphic.

#1 Tip - Energy Audits

We are huge fans of having an Energy Efficiency Evaluation (i.e. energy audit) conducted on any home, regardless of size or age. We learned much from our energy audit under the ecoENERGY Residential Retrofit program.

Our 21 year old home's EnerGuide rating is 70 (out of 100) from our energy audit report. We can achieve an EnerGide rating of 80 by undertaking all of the energy audit's recommendations. What is your home's EnerGuide rating? If you don't know, shouldn't you?

You can find details of the energy audit report we received on our home within our ECOENERGY page.
