Ease your winter heating bill with a call to your plumbing and heating contractor (ARA) - Winter will soon bring plenty of cold and snowy weather. Families will turn up the thermostat, add an extra blanket to the beds, and hit the local home improvement store for needed supplies to seal windows and doors.

Unfortunately most won’t call their local plumbing and heating contractor. While homeowners annually dread seeing those winter utility bills roll in, they don’t give their heating system much thought until it needs to be repaired or replaced.

Annual preventative maintenance is always better than dealing with the alternative. One “no heat” call can cost you $300 or more, just to diagnose a problem and if your boiler or furnace has out-lived its warranty, you’ll be responsible for the full cost of parts and labor.

“When we do annual maintenance, we clean and inspect the boiler and perform a combustion test to ensure the boiler is operating properly and safely,” says Chris Bodek of Bodek Incorporated, Plumbing Heating and Air Conditioning of Johnson City, N.Y. { continued on page 29 }

If your contractor determines that your boiler or furnace needs to be replaced, they will do a heat loss and sizing calculation to determine the size (BTU’s) required to heat your home. Your contractor should be able to provide a good, better and best equipment choice to suit your budget and desired efficiency level. Be sure to use a reputable contractor and ask for references.

When you weigh costs, understand that your investment goes well beyond the initial cost of the system. Your old low efficiency heating system could have an annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) of 70 percent. That means 70 percent of the energy in the fuel becomes heat for the home and the other 30 percent escapes up the chimney and elsewhere. With the old inefficient heating equipment you have, you could be throwing away up to 30 percent of the money you spend on fuel each year.

If you’re in a replacement or new build situation, the Dunkirk Helix VLT Stainless Steel Condensing boiler is rated with a 96 percent

AFUE. Homeowners may be interested in the fact that this boiler is lightweight and wall-mounted, which can help prevent it from becoming damaged in case of flooding in the basement like so many East Coast homeowners experienced during Tropical Storm Irene in August. Also, if children or pets play in the basement or utility room, a wall mount boiler frees up valuable floor space and eases ground level safety concerns.

High efficiency condensing boilers entered the U.S. home heating market in the last 15 years and have steadily gained in popularity.

The heart of any boiler is the heat exchanger, much like a motor is to a car, and it is what provides a boiler’s efficiency. Unlike every other manufacturer, Dunkirk has designed and built boilers and heat exchangers here in the U.S. Dunkirk’s newest high efficiency boiler, the Helix VLT, is the result of American ingenuity in the form of an innovative vertical laser tube stainless steel heat exchanger design which maximizes heat transfer from the heat exchanger to the boiler water.

A built-in outdoor reset is another fuel economizing feature. An outdoor temperature reset is a sensor that modulates the temperature of the boiler water based on seasonal conditions. In doing so, the boiler uses less fuel to heat the home during mild weather.

A boiler with an efficiency of 96 percent, which includes sealed combustion and outdoor temperature reset, can save the homeowner up to 40 percent in annual heating costs.

Whatever your home heating situation, do your homework and turn to a professional plumbing and heating contractor for information. Your home heating system can be uniquely tailored to meet the needs of your home, your lifestyle and your budget.

Condensing boilers are sealed combustion boilers, which means they rely on air from the outdoors for combustion versus taking air from inside the home which can cause drafts and waste energy.

Surefire tactics to fill your backyard with birdsong this winter (ARA) - Shorter days, dropping temperatures and dealing with snow and ice can give many people a serious case of the winter doldrums. Most of us won’t be able to fight winter blues with a tropical getaway or a spa weekend. But there is an easy, convenient way to give yourself an emotional boost during the winter, and do something good for nature at the same time: feed wild birds.

More than 65 million Americans have tried bird feeding, according to a recent Census Report. Bird feeding is an easy and enjoyable hobby for people of any age, ability and skill level. Whether you’re new to bird feeding or a seasoned pro, here are some tips to help you enjoy a successful, mutually beneficial relationship with your backyard birds this winter:

Figuring out feeders The type of feeder you use is important.

To attract the greatest number of species, you’ll need to provide different types of feeders and feed choices. Hopper and platform designs are always popular, but whatever feeders you use during winter should have a few features in common: * A wide cover over feeding ports, perches and dispensing trays will help prevent feed from being buried by snowfall. The cover should extend several inches over the feeder edge to ensure protection from all but the worst storms. * Place feeders in sheltered locations out of severe winds. Placing feeders close to the house, or using window feeders, both

offers the birds more shelter and gets them closer for great viewing. You can also place feeders near protective cover like hedges. * Bigger is better for winter feeding.

Large capacity feeders mean you’ll have to brave winter weather less frequently to refill them.

Keep ‘em clean

With insects and fruit harder to find naturally during winter months, most birds will thrive on seeds. Suet, solid fat rendered from beef, venison or vegetables, is also good for birds, and provides much needed concentrated energy. Serving suet used to be a messy affair, but bird feed producers like Cole’s Wild Bird Products have made the task much easier for the server and even more beneficial for birds. Cole’s offers several mess-free ways to serve suet:

Birds appreciate cleanliness when it comes to their feeders.

Because natural food sources are scarce in winter, your feeders will attract hungry birds. It’s important to clean them regularly to keep them free of mold, mildew and other unhealthy conditions that could foster disease.

Backyard with benefits Here’s some steps to make your backyard even more beneficial to birds: * Consider adding a heated bird bath.

Birds have difficulty finding fresh water in the winter. * Leave bird houses and nesting boxes in place through winter to act as shelter for roosting birds. * Choose bird-friendly landscaping that includes sheltering evergreen plants, and plants that provide fruit for a natural winter food source.

Give birds a boost with food high in fat, nutrition and energy

* Suet Kibbles are high potency and offer birds the berry flavors they love.

Cole’s formulation also incorporates dried insects for increased stamina.

Serve it in a sunflower feeder or mix with your favorite seed to attract warblers, woodpeckers, bluebirds and nuthatches. * Suet Nuts combines nourishing peanuts and berry suet. * Suet Pearls feature sunflower meats buried within energy-packed suet. You can serve them separately or mix with seed.

The Buyer’s Guide to Real Estate and Home Improvement, NOV/DEC 2011

Your seed choices should be highquality and tailored to provide birds with the biggest energy bonanza possible. Sunflower is a great seed option for winter because it’s rich in oil, which attracts birds and provides them with plenty of energy. Cole’s Oil Sunflower is the highest-grade black oil sunflower seed, it’s over 99 percent pure and cleaned four times to ensure you get more seed and fewer sticks.

Peanuts are another high-energy option.

Choose hulled varieties that are whole - and more nutritious than peanut pieces.

They’re especially attractive to titmice, nuthatches, wrens and woodpeckers.

Once you’ve invested in good seed and the right feeders, don’t overlook the importance of storing it properly. Store in airtight containers in an area of your home where the seed won’t be exposed to extreme temperatures. Never store seed outside as this can attract pests and predators.

This winter, boost backyard birds’ energy levels and serve up the right seed in the right feeder. You’ll enjoy winter birdwatching and the birds will benefit from the extra energy. Be patient, it may take a few weeks before the birds discover newly placed feeders.While you wait, be sure to keep the feeders full. Eventually, the birds will come.
