Get ready for cooler weather director at Lennox Hearth Products. “Preparing your home will not only save you money, but keep your family safe during severe weather.”

In fact, heating and cooling accounts for two thirds of a home’s energy consumption. This adds up to 44 percent of all the carbon dioxide emissions in America, more than the transportation and manufacturing industries combined, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

Here are some tips to prepare your home for the cooler weather this season: • Conduct an annual review. Windows are best sealed using weather-stripping or caulking.

Doors should be replaced if they don’t seal properly. Make sure to check the foot of the door and install a draft stopper if there isn’t one. You should also have a heating professional check your heating system annually, making sure it’s energy-efficient and meets all safety standards.

(StatePoint) There’s nothing worse than being in a drafty house during the cooler months of the year. In addition to the continuous discomfort, drafts can lead to unnecessarily high heating bills.

“American homeowners know that as the weather gets cooler, it’s time to prepare their homes for the season,” says Robert Dischner, marketing

Highland Forest. Well built home with so many updates you would think it is brand new. MLS# 478074 $199,000

• Clean out your chimney. Annual cleanings reduce the risk of fires and carbon monoxide poisonings due to creosote buildup or obstructions in the chimneys. They also let your fireplace burn more efficiently.

• Check emergency supplies. Buy rock salt or sand before it sells out at your local hardware store. Make sure you change the batteries in any and all carbon monoxide and smoke detectors at least once a year.

This, that, and the other thing Don’t you just love choices? It’s like being a kid in the candy store. There are a ton of options as to what to get. It all looks pretty good actually; with lots of flavors, different sizes, and a myriad of toppings to boot. “Can I have a taste?” “No, what you see is what you get.” Soooo…take a good long look, make some inquiries, check out other ‘candy’ stores and make a purchase. Your new home will taste even better once you move in and start adding your own toppings.

Maybe yes … and maybe no What if I don’t make my mortgage payment on time? What if I’ve had a bankruptcy in the last few years? What if my spouse was irresponsible and didn’t pay the bills? What if I lost my job and just didn’t have the money? What if I was sick and couldn’t work? These are actually common occurrences for many potential borrowers. Don’t lose hope! Many lenders have solutions and options for you. You can get a mortgage depending on the circumstance and other mitigating factors. Get your story together, be sincere, and present it to some lenders. And…it doesn’t hurt to keep your fingers crossed, bring a rabbit’s foot, and drop a dime in a wishing well

Bill’s Corners I’ve been involved with the real estate and mortgage industry for more than 30 years and feel privileged to have landed here in Asheville. Moving from Detroit gave my family and me an appreciation of… ‘wow, can you believe this place!’ I’ve travelled around the world with my speaking opportunities, but this is the ‘cat’s meow’ when it comes to…you name it ... a list of everything good. Every week I hope to be able to give you some information that is pertinent, interesting, and perhaps a little entertaining. So please enjoy my ‘Corner’, and if you do decide to buy a house, rest assured it was a good decision.

Name this dog I’m small, fast, and started my life in Greece and Turkey over 2,000 years ago (no wonder my bones ache). I am labeled a ‘toy breed’ (no, you don’t wind me up), and need little grooming. My owners like me because I fit into really small places, which is good for travel.

Here’s the catch, I break my legs very easily, so I need to request ottomans so that I am not tempted to jump off of furniture. Oh, the price of daintiness! And, you can get me in black, fawn, cream, or blue.

Answer:

When to Eat If You’re Going to Exercise Don’t eat much right before a workout, because your body will divert blood to your muscles and away from your digestive organs. Ideally, it’s best to work out 2-3 hours after a meal.

Always eat breakfast. If you exercise before breakfast, you may reduce fatigue if you eat a piece of toast or have some juice 25-20 minutes prior.

If you exercise before dinner or late in the day, make breakfast and lunch your main meals. To boost energy levels, have a late-afternoon snack.

And definitely…don’t try and eat a Whopper during your run!

23 Arlington Street, Asheville, NC 28801

(828) 255-7530 Originally hailing from the Raleigh area, Mr Tolson received a BA in Arts from Appalachian State University before migrating to the US Virgin Islands to fulfill his parentís dreams by leading sea kayak tours. In pursuit of bigger and better things as well as finding the kayakís range and cargo area lacking Gray hopped a schooner from St. Thomas to Charleston, SC. Following the natural migratory pattern of many Charlestonians Gray arrived in Asheville to pursue options in the booming local theatre scene as well as to dupe a dynamic and entrepreneurial young woman into marrying him. Gray attempted to stabilize the local restaurant scene for many years and upon achieving that goal decided that working nights was tiresome. Endeavoring to find meaningful 24 hour-a-day work that fulfills his love of architecture and home design, Mr. Tolson embarked upon a career in Real Estate and joined the team at Appalachian Realty Associates. In his time at Appalachian Gray has successfully completed many residential and commercial transactions.

He has also designed and implemented an advanced inventory tracking system for the Appalachian Realty beer refrigerator to staggering effect.

Gray remains happily married to his wife of seven years and is raising two fine young gentlemen as well as a dog of dubious pedigree in a classic bungalow in downtown Asheville.

Ventless fireplaces provide a convenient, low-cost alternative to traditional fireplace options, but they aren't trouble-free.

Ventless fireplaces, which don't include a flue or chimney, have been sold in the U.S. since 1980. They're powered by natural gas, propane, alcohol-based gels, and electricity. Although less expensive and easier to install than a traditional fireplace, ventless fireplaces suffer from a reputation of being unsafe, unhealthy, and cheap alternatives to "the real thing."

However, modern ventless fireplace models are strictly regulated by federal agencies and standards groups for safe operation in your home, making them a viable, low-cost, supplemental heating option compared to more expensive fireplaces. If you're considering the installation of a fireplace in your home, here's what you need to know about ventless options.

Types of ventless fireplaces Ventless fireplaces are typically freestanding units that don't require or feature a flue or chimney to exhaust combustion air to the outdoors, making them relatively easy to install in any room.

Those fueled by natural gas or propane can be positioned anywhere that a supply line can be installed-usually against a wall or inside an existing masonry fireplace. The latest models also feature automatic ignition, a function that eliminates the need for an outside electrical circuit to spark the pilot light-a handy feature should the electricity ever go out.

Gel-fueled units are even more versatile, as they're completely self-contained (not tethered to a supply line) and light with a match. Electric units need only a 120-volt outlet nearby, and a dedicated circuit isn't necessary.

What does "ventless" mean?

Ventless fireplaces fueled by gas or propane rely on indoor air for combustion, and they exhaust a low level of their combustion gases into the room in which they're located. A chimney or flue isn't necessary.

The risk to your health is a long-standing and on-going debate. Proponents suggest that any emissions are negligible, and well within indoor air quality guidelines as set by various regulatory agencies.

Essentially, these products must meet the general requirements for all combustible heating appliances established in the 2002 version of the National Fire Protection Association's standards that require ventless fireplaces to have factory-installed carbon monoxide monitors and oxygen detection safety devices (ODS). These safety devices automatically shut off the fireplace if the carbon monoxide level in the room rises above 25 parts per million, and/or the oxygen level falls below 18%--levels for indoor air quality suggested (but not standardized or regulated) (Continued on page 46)

Ventless fireplaces ... from page 38 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Critics, however, claim that such monitors are unreliable and imprecise, allowing oxygen and carbon monoxide levels to fluctuate out of range before the units shut down, resulting in potential health hazards. The state of California completely bans these products, citing concern for occupant safety and health.

Ventless fireplaces that use gel canisters or electricity, meanwhile, are above that fray, as they don't emit anything other than a low amount of heat.

Any ventless fireplace is generally suggested for supplemental space heating and perhaps aesthetics alone. Those with automatic ignition or that use gel fuel can supply a low level of room heat for short spans of time and during power outages, when electricity isn't available.

Installation and maintenance Ventless fireplaces that are connected to a gas or propane line require professional installation by a gas or plumbing contractor, and shouldn't have a heating capacity that exceeds the appropriate room size recommended by the manufacturer.

Despite their relative ease of installation, and regardless of fuel source, ventless fireplaces aren't a turn-them-on-and-forget option. All units require at least annual cleaning of the log set and other exposed components, while gas and propane products should also have their oxygen and carbon monoxide monitors checked and adjusted annually for optimum performance.

Although suppliers may tout the integrity of factory-installed carbon monoxide monitors, installing a hard-wired, independent carbon monoxide monitor in the room in which the fireplace is located is a smart second tier of safety. Expect to pay $100-$200 for an hour of an electrician's time and the monitor.

Costs Gas- or propane-connected ventless fireplaces usually include a factory-finished enclosure and/or mantle. With professional installation, they cost $2,000-$6,000. Installation may not require a building permit, but check with your local building department to confirm if there are any regulations or limits on the use of a ventless fireplace.

Gel-powered ventless fireplaces generally cost less, $300-$700, and don't require professional installation and associated costs. Some assembly by the purchaser may be required, including the placement of factory-supplied logs in front of the gel canisters. The fuel comes in 13-ounce canisters that cost about $3 and last about 2.5 hours each. They are sold in cases of 24 for about $80 or $110 for a dozen, 30-ounce refill bottles.

Electric fireplaces also are standalone, self-contained, and factory-finished, requiring no installation other than removing them from the box and plugging them into a wall socket. They cost about $1,000 and up, depending on the sophistication of the mantel and surround. Suppliers claim these products produce a realistic flame effect created by randomly filtered lighting, but judge for yourself at a retailer before you buy.

Choosing the correct size It's important to size a ventless fireplace for the size of its room. A large, open space, such as a great room, should handle a ventless gas/propane fireplace with a 25,000 BTU or higher output, akin to the heat output from a sealed and vented gas fireplace.

For smaller rooms, such as a bedroom or bathroom, ventless gas- or propane-fueled fireplaces can be sized down to 5,000 BTUs. For optimum control over heat output, these units can be regulated by a wall thermostat or remote control.

Gel-powered units can output up to 9,000 BTUs. Electric fireplaces, like space heaters, provide very localized output-at most, 4,500 BTUs-but will remain working as long as they are plugged in and switched on.

Regardless, ventless fireplaces of any kind and size are nearly 100% efficient, as very little of the heat they emit escapes the room. By contrast, an open-faced, wood-burning fireplace with a chimney may lose 85% or more of its heat output through the flue.
