Solar Energy, Solar Panels for Heating Seattle Homes

Sat, 30 Jan 2010 16:38:11 +0000

It is true that electricity produced in the United States is broadly volatile and non-renewable resources for the production of electricity are declining with the passage of time (the terrible situation was seen in June ’09), under such unfavorable circumstances everyone is eager to head towards alternatives modes for producing enough energy for oneself and for one’s family in order to save both money and environment. Upon considering the dire condition regarding the production of electricity, president of the Untied States, Barack Obama introduced and signed a legislation to solve the problem of scarcity of energy by proving incentives for people so they can utilize these incentives in installation of home energy systems. Other presidents, like former president George W Bush, have also promoted alternative energy solutions such as solar and geothermal energy systems for homes and commercial businesses. In the past these have been met with resistance from both parties. With rising energy costs, solar energy is now affordable and solar panel installation can become a reality for many home owners.

As we all know that major proportion of energy in US is being produced by means of fossil fuels, hence the process of producing the electricity by burning coals is definitely producing a large number of problems in the environment. In a session of burning coals a great deal of sulphar spreads out in the air which may not only cause acid rain but being in high quantity it can also pollute the food chains that furthermore may result in health hazard. In addition to it, whenever coals are put into incendiaries for burning, they evaporate toxin acids like carbon that makes carbon monoxide when comes to reaction with oxygen that causes deterioration of ozone layer, where ozone is already in danger these days. For this reason the only parsimonious alterative to save the environment is off-course installation of energy saves at home.

Trillions of benefits are associated with solar energy panels such as:

Solar energy is renewable as we are blessed with natural sunlight. And using the power of sun for generating the electricity is the safe way, you don’t have to put in any physical effort along with it power source is expected to perform better everyday with consistent sunlight.
Generating the power by means of sunlight is secure for your environment and it keeps on working by providing you a friendly atmosphere free of toxic and dangerous acids like carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. It does not release anything that may cause health problems as compared to other energy resources.
Solar cells work with pin-drop silence while collecting solar power and generating energy, means solar panel does not create any noise and work very silently for keeping the environment free of sounds.
Installing a solar power generator is comparatively cheaper than buying electricity from energy companies and there is just little investment of hardware and installation but it gives you profit. It is undoubtedly a lucrative mode to reduce your electricity bill, by using the same amount of voltage but in cost-effective means.
It generates energy in the long term and many of people are making the most of solar panels and it is able to produce electricity for 1000s hours without any maintenance and rarely gets glitches which can b easily solved down and it may happen once in two years.

Apart from other negative aspects associated with acids and burning of fossil coals, the rise in the price of electricity is another frustrating concern for people. The huge electricity bill is a major problem everywhere and a good chunk of hard-earned money is being paid for piled up bills which is really embarrassing. The increase in the prices is because of high demand of electricity these days. In these hard energy supply time, many of reputed companies are now offering good packages for homeowners to save money while availing the best solar power services. By installing solar energy panel at your home, you would no longer have to pay those expensive electricity bills since solar energy plants are the best alternatives for getting the extra benefits relatively at lower cost. The charges in installing any solar panel are very nominal and everyone can afford to pay for it very easily even if one is living on the modest budget.

Forced Air Furnaces vs Radiant Heat

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 14:33:45 +0000

With radiant heat systems, the radiators may be mounted on walls or buried in the floor to give under-floor heat. For larger buildings, building services designers and engineers, such as mechanical, architectural, or building services engineers analyze, design, and specify the HVAC systems, and specialty mechanical contractors build and commission them.In modern buildings the design, installation, and control systems of these functions are integrated into one or more HVAC systems.

Cold air drafts can contribute significantly to subjectively feeling colder than the average room temperature. A couple of benefits of forced air systems, which are now widely applied in churches, schools and high-end residences, are:

better air conditioned effect
up to 15-20% energy saving, and
evenly conditioned effect.

Air Conditioning and Mechanical Contractors Association (AMCA) Factors in the design of such systems include the flow rate (which is a function of the fan speed and exhaust vent size) and noise level. This allows a more granular application of heat, similar to non-central heating systems. Zones are controlled by multiple thermostats. ASHRAE is the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers.

The ducting should be insulated as well to prevent condensation on the ducting. A metering device acts as a restriction in the system at the evaporator to ensure that the heat being absorbed by the system is absorbed at the proper rate. BTU Calculator A worksheet by the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers is used to help you estimate how much cooling capacity you need. For very small buildings, contractors normally “size” and select (HVAC) Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning systems and equipment. This allows a more granular application of heat, similar to non-central heating systems. Zones are controlled by multiple thermostats.

Devices that direct vents away from windows to prevent “wasted” heat defeat this design intent. In this case, the control system is very critical to maintain a proper temperature. Natural ventilation is the ventilation of a building with outside air without the use of a fan or other mechanical system.

Part 12 of 13 steps to Install a Furnace in Your Home

You’ve done all the preparation, have all the tools, the old furnace is gone and now it’s time to start your very own furnace installation.

Furnace Installation Instructions – 13 Easy Steps

Step 12. Putting it all back together. This section is broken up into 6 sub-sections.

* Aligning the furnace. If this is done right, you will cut down on the amount of work and ductwork you will have to make
* Attaching the Return and Boot to the new furnace
* Attaching Old Plenum (ductwork leaving old furnace) to new furnace. This is called the Transition
* Reconnecting the gas line, and testing for leaks
* Running the flue pipes to remove the spent fuel gases
* Reconnection of the thermostat and high-voltage power supply

That’s it, you’re almost done installing a furnace the DIY (do-it-yourself way)! Now it’s time for some testing and a trial run.

13 Step DIY Furnace Installation Parts 9 through 11 of 13

Part 9 through 11 of 13 steps to Install a Furnace in Your Home

While step 9 would seem to state the obvious, it’s worth reminding folks just the same. So, disconnect the power before you get started uninstalling your heating cooling system! Step 10, on the other hand, is advice most people would never even think of. It’s hard to believe but some heating and cooling contractors install new systems using the furnace for support. Yeah, crazy huh? Well we can assure you that at Heating Cooling Seattle that’s never going to be the case.

Furnace Installation Instructions – 13 Easy Steps

Step 9. Remove power and fuel supply from your existing equipment. Yeah I know, but some folks start ripping things apart and completely forget this step. It’s a reminder.

Step 10. Secure your existing duct work into place. Why? There is nothing more heartbreaking than starting to remove a furnace, only to have the existing duct work fall to the ground at your feet. Not only does this add another day to your job, but also adds new 4 letter words to your vocabulary. Hence, Step 10. Secure the existing duct work with cleats and screws.

Step 11. Removing the old equipment. Now that you have turned off all power to the furnace, and have secured your ductwork you are ready to start removing the old equipment. Once removed, set it off to the side out of your working space.

Part 8/13 steps to Install a Furnace in Your Home

So you’ve planned your furnace installation project out well, now where will you buy a new gas furnace? Many people nowadays immediately turn to the internet, but what about parts, service and furnace warranty? You should also consider buying locally. You will pay less for shipping and have a valuable resource in case you need to ask a few questions.

Furnace Installation Instructions – 13 Easy Steps

Step 8. Finding local suppliers to work with. This might be your biggest hurdle. In the past, you were kinda strapped into your local area suppliers. Nowadays you have the internet. Use it to your advantage. Doing a google search with the words “lennox furnace” will bring up a surprising amount of information. Always make sure to ask about the warranty. Keep in mind here that buying your own furnace saves you thousands of dollars – even if you end up hiring a contractor to install it you for you!

13 Step DIY Furnace Installation Parts 4 through 7 of 13

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 12:25:00 +0000

Parts 4 through 7 of 13 steps to Install a Furnace in Your Home

Nothing is more frustrating than not having all the materials needed to complete a job. The same holds true when it comes to furnace installation. Have all the parts and accessories needed before you start installing a gas furnace and the project will go much smoother.

Furnace Installation Instructions – 13 Easy Steps

Step 4. Materials list. Ductwork. You will need to keep a running list of materials you will need when you go to the store(for all materials). Perhaps the size of the return needs to be bigger. You no doubt will have to attach the old duct-work to the new furnace. The Installation instructions that come with the furnace will tell you what the sizes will be for a proper installation.
Step 5. Materials list – Electrical. As you assess your home as part of step 3, you will be able to determine what your new electrical needs will be. Make a detailed list. Keep in mind that all new furnaces need a ground wire. If you do not have a ground wire on your old power supply, you will have to install one.

Step 6. Materials list – Gas line supplies. Also to be determined in step 3. Hopefully by now you see the wisdom of following this process step by step. Making these lists before you start the installation will help you in the long run. With all of the needed materials on hand, as well as a plan of action, you won’t find yourself on the third day of the install, minus 10 degree, and having to run to 15 different stores.

Step 7. Yet another Materials List – Miscellaneous. This will be determined by the type of furnace you have, or will purchase. Ex: an 80% efficient furnace will require different flue pipe materials than a 90% efficient furnace.

13 Step DIY Furnace Installation Part 3 of 13

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 04:51:00 +0000

Part 3/13 steps to Install a Furnace in Your Home

Choosing the right furnace to install is vitally important to ensure your equipment performs at it’s peak efficiency, is affordable and will last for many years after the initial furnace installation.

Furnace Installation Instructions – 13 Easy Steps

Step 3. Assessing the Heating Cooling System and duct-work. This is the most important step. Why? The answer might surprise you. It might even surprise some HVAC Contractors. The heating equipment must be sized right. Hands down. No exceptions. Why? You might be thinking “Doesn’t the rule ‘the bigger the better’ apply here?” No. Let me rephrase that: Heck no!

I will give you a brief example here. If you were to put an over-sized air conditioner in your home, the air conditioner would only run for a few minutes until the thermostat was at the desired temperature. Great! The bigger A/C saved me energy by running a short time, and bringing the temperature down super fast! What’s the problem there? Yes, you did cool your home quickly, but what you did not do was remove humidity (water in the air) from your home. The longer an A/C runs, the more water it removes from the air. That extra water in the air is what makes you uncomfortable in hot weather. The idea is to make you comfortable. Cooling down the house super quick will have the opposite effect.

The same principle applies with a furnace. It must be sized properly. There are lots of online heating and cooling calculators out there that are free. Just google ‘heating and cooling load calculator’. The instructions are usually included . I have included one in a guide that I wrote called “The Ultimate Furnace Installation Guide”. I found that heat/load calculator online for free.

Although this article is not comprehensive. It should help you decide if you want to tackle a job like this. I believe with minimum handy man skills and my guide, anyone can simply install their own furnace. A complete and comprehensive guide with furnace installation instructions can be found here The Ultimate Furnace Installation Instructions.
