Tips For Purchasing Tankless Gas Water Heaters

Home water heating is number one in residential energy consumption second only to residential heating and cooling.

Even as homes are designed to be more energy-efficient, the percentage of energy used in water heating is still a predominant factor.

When it comes to

efficiently heating water, tankless water heaters are one of the hottest innovations to hit the industry in decades. The appeal of tankless water heaters is that you can save money by not constantly heating the water in your tank during periods when you are not using hot water.

Demand-activated technology translates into significant energy savings. A tankless gas water heater could help you save up to 55 percent annually on water heating costs compared to the operating costs of a standard 40-gallon-tank gas water heater.

When building your new home you'll want to consider these purchasing tips, to ensure you select the right tankless water heater for your needs and lifestyle: • Examining your lifestyle. A strong tankless heater can pump about 5 gallons a minute of hot water throughout your whole house.

But if your children enjoy taking 15minute showers while you run the washer, this might not suffice.

By John Pandich Moore County Home Builders Association President

Calculating your flowrate demand is key in determining whether to install one heater for the whole house or multiple heaters for different appliances and bathrooms. In a busy household, all of these appliances running at the same time can challenge a tankless heater's ability to meet hot water demand. In addition, the climate conditions where you live can affect the performance of your heating unit.

• Decide what size you need. While the capacity of gas storage water heaters is based on the number of gallons that will fit

in the tank, tankless models are rated by how many gallons of hot water they produce per minute (GPM). The more likely you are to have the shower, dishwasher, and clothes washer going at once, the larger the GPM you will need.

You will need to consult with an experienced plumber to estimate the hot water demands in your home.

• Check product availability. Find out what qualified tankless models are available.

• Get a quote from a contractor or retailer. You may want to check a manufacturer or retailer's web

site to get a general idea of cost, but you will eventually need an installer to come to your home and give you a customized price.

• Search for rebates and tax credits.

You may be able to reduce your costs by taking advantage of rebates or tax credits.

Be sure to review the eligibility rules before you make your purchase.

To properly size, select and install a tankless water heater you will need a team of professionals working with you. To find qualified and reliable contractors, suppliers, plumbers and gas companies contact the Moore County Home Builder’s Association by visiting www.mchba.com or call (910) 944-2992.

Enhance pride in your house with these curb appeal projects

(ARA) - As warmer weather approaches, it's a great time to take a look out your windows and see what the view of your home is offering your neighbors. Are there any areas of your landscaping or home's exterior that could use a bit of an upgrade to help boost your home's curb appeal?

Whether you intend to live in your home for several years, or have plans to list your house on the real estate market soon, enhancing your home's curb appeal can boost your enjoyment of the property and attract potential buyers.

Plenty of projects can improve the look of your home without requiring you to spend a fortune on remodeling, changing the siding or landscaping the entire front yard. Here are a few ideas you can try on your house: * Upgrade the mailbox. Mailboxes over time can start to look dingy and rusted from being out in the elements. Building a permanent brick or stone structure to hold a mailbox can add appeal to your yard, and also help protect the metal mailbox from additional rusting. * Add or update the lights by your front door or along the driveway. A beautiful glow in the evenings welcomes visitors (and buyers) to your home, at the same time providing you with additional security. Many wall, overhead, post and hanging lights styles are designed to work outdoors to add panache to your home and landscap-

ing. * Brighten up your landscaping and decorate your house with flowers and maybe even some new shrubbery. If you can, add window boxes of vine plants mixed in with colorful blooms.

Decorate along the driveway or around the mailbox with small green bushes. If you have a walkway through the front yard, consider lining it with a small and attractive fence. Or add a few pots of pretty flowers next to the garage doors to splash around a little color. * Replace your old, worn-out windows with new replacement windows. According to Remodeling magazine's 2010-2011 Cost vs. Value report, installing low-maintenance replacement windows is ranked as one of the best home improvement projects for your money. They can help reduce energy bills and add instant appeal to your home. Plus, windows that meet ENERGY STAR performance criteria qualify for the 2011 tax credit, adding to the overall value of replacement windows.

Paul Delahunt, president of Renewal by Andersen, says of all the improvement projects a homeowner can start, window replacement is one that

actually takes very little effort on the homeowner's part, but can make your house more beautiful and energy efficient - two benefits you can enjoy for many years to come.

"Our experts help homeowners every step of the way," says Delahunt. "By selecting a professional company that can handle their entire replacement project start-to-finish, homeowners can sit back, relax and let us do all the work."

Delahunt adds that new windows can also help with those dreaded spring cleaning projects. Since Renewal by Andersen windows are made with Fibrex framing material, for example, they do not require upkeep such as ongoing scraping and painting. He suggests visiting renewalbyandersen.com to see how new, beautiful windows can elevate the look of your home.

Updating and enhancing the look of your house can do a lot for the pride you have in your home and for drawing prospective buyers if you decide to put your house on the market. Tackling some of these projects can go a long way in making your curb appeal stronger.

Despite lagging consumer confidence in recent years, owning a home remains the American dream.

Of course, low interest rates and affordable prices have helped many families make that dream a reality, but the growing availability of homebuyer assistance programs has also done much to boost the ranks of property owners.

In fact, so many specialized programs exist that it’s difficult for consumer to keep track of them all.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has compiled a comprehensive list of resources available in each state.

Simply click on the “State Info” link at the to of HUD’s home page at www.hud.gov. In addition to other valuable tools, you’ll find information on:

“I will provide an outstanding mortgage experience from application to closing”

Counseling agencies: Free or lowcost counseling services to assist with homebuying, foreclosure prevention and credit issues.

Assistance programs: Resources and programs in your state and/or community that can help you buy and maintain a home.

Homeownership vouchers and grants: Many states offer grants to eligible homebuyers or assistance through the Housing Choice Voucher Program.

Home Improvements: Financial sources for home repairs and energy-efficient upgrades.

Before meeting with your own mortgage lender, you can de-

velop a list of questions to ask by checking out HUD’s extensive library on rural housing programs, resources for seniors, FHA mortgages, loan programs for veterans, and a wealth of other options.

Building Real Estate Wealth with the 5 X 5 Model

It seems that Demand is exceeding Supply in one area of the real estate business here in Moore County. Due to many different circumstances, there has been a great increase in requests to rent homes in the last few weeks. In fact, the demand for rentals seems to be exceeding the supply here in Moore County.

When Demand exceeds Supply, a basic economic rule comes into play. Prices usually go up. For that reason, now is a great time to consider the 5 X 5 Real Estate Investment Model.

Here is a simple model for comparing the potential growth real estate offers versus that of mutual funds. How do the returns for each compare as a long-term investment?

The idea is to leverage every five years five time, using the 1031 exchange to defer taxes, and see what an initial investment of $25,000 (5x5) would look like, assuming, of course 5% appreciation.

Start by investing $25,000 in a $100,000 property (25% down

payment).

In the 5th year, equity has grown to $52,628. Re-leverage into a $210,512 property (25% down payment).

In the 10th year, equity has grown to $110,789. Re-leverage into a $443,156 property (25% down payment).

In the 15th year, equity has grown to $233,224. Releverage into $932,896 property (25% down payment) In the 20th year equity has grown to $490,966. Re-leverage into a $1,963,864 property (25% down payment).

In the 25th year, equity has grown to $1,033.545. Re-leverage into a $4,134,180 property.

(25% down payment).

In the 30th year, equity has grown to $2,185,743. This amount does not include the cash flow accumulated over time, which could be a substantial yearly income on top of the equity. The same $25,000 investment in a mutual fund yielding 10% interest over the same period of time yields $436,235, almost five times less.

How to get colorful home exteriors without a drop of paint FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 2011

(ARA) - Nothing brightens a home's personality more dramatically than brilliant color.

It's easy to freshen your home's exterior with color trim around windows, doors or along corners. With color trim, there are endless ways you can evoke any emotion or personality you desire. Whether you wish for tranquility, elegance or modernism, it's time to add some color to your "todo" list.

One of the most creative new ways to beautifully set a home apart from others is with vibrantly-colored house trim. Thanks to IQm Trim by Mid-America, achieving that decidedly different look is quick and easy. This unique trim is exceptionally durable, never needs painting or maintenance and is offered in a color spectrum that is unrivaled. That's what makes it popular with smart custom home builders, siding contractors and homeowners.

IQm Trim brings color to all the right places of the home's exterior, from inside corners to fascia, brick mold and decorative windows.

This unique trim molding brings distinctive finishing touches all across the home's facade. Enhancing IQm's versatility are three new additions to the line of trim. These include Brick Mold with AquaFlex Fin, 1-by-8inch Fascia Board offered in wood grain finish with reverse-side score lines for easy ripping, and 5/4-by-2-inch Trim with Aquaflex Fin. These new components fill out a product offering which also includes 5/4-by-4-inch and 5/4-by-6-inch trim boards, with matching outside corners and universal inside corners.

Unlike painted wood and "paint-ready" PVC, IQm Trim never needs maintenance and is available in a comprehensive array of colors, making this unique

SATURDAY, APRIL 16 • 12 noon - 4 P.M. edge trim the only color-through cellular PVC available in vibrant hues.

That palette is much broader than the whites and neutrals of "paintready" PVC trim. While whites and neutrals can be painted, this adds a financial burden in additional costs for rollers, brushes and speciallyformulated PVC-suitable paints that can cost $40 a gallon.

For homes that have previously featured painted wood trim, this new option delivers an improved turnkey solution that does away with the need to ever sand, scrape and repaint trim - or worse replace rotted, warped or termite-infested trim.

With IQm, homeowners won't have to buy a cart of paint supplies and spend a weekend on a ladder. Nor will they have to spend over a thousand dollars, plus paint costs, to have professionals paint the home's trim. Moreover, they will never have to make those same investments in time and money every few years to recapture their home's beauty.

Once IQm Trim is installed, it delivers decades of maintenance-free beauty with enhanced weathering performance. Protected from fading by a durable ASA cap, each of the shades retains its rich color. Starting with brilliant Polar White and ending with deep Ebony, the extensive spectrum ranges from subtle, classic inspirations to the remarkably exuberant.

The rich darkness of Espresso Brown is just one color among the several hues in the tan/brown range. Col-

ors such as spicy Cabernet, crisp Vermont Green and striking Dusty Blue bring out bold personality.

For classic sophistication, Antique Cream or Castle Grey provide outstanding accents.

Along with extraordinary color and durability, this trim provides an additional benefit to homeowners, and also to contractors. Its patented AquaFlex Fin protects a building, guiding water away from the wall to minimize the chances for water intrusion or resulting mold. An integrated 1-inch J-channel also delivers an easy, finished appearance by hiding cut edges and caulk applications that can interrupt a clean look. The J-channel also means faster, more efficient installations.

The trim's deep pocket can accommodate a variety of siding materials including fiber cement, vinyl, stone and wood. Simple to work with, trim can be cut, drilled, nailed or fastened with screws just like other trim materials. Its unique colorthrough design provides seamless color even with imperfect miter cuts.

Delivering superior performance, IQm is backed by a limited lifetime warranty against peeling, flaking or blistering so remodelers and siding contractors can add color with confidence.
