MOORE COUNTY HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION
FRIDAY, JULY 6, 2012
By Bob Van Houten Moore County Home Builders Association President
Test Your Electrical Savvy
On February 11, 1847 the genius inventor of the electrical age, Thomas Edison, was born. Over 160 years later, his most famous invention, the light bulb, still has an essential place in the home. With often no more than four hours of sleep per night and his personal creed of, "Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration," his work with electricity is legendary. For all the work done by Edison and his predecessors, most people know only as much about electricity as is absolutely necessary to go about their daily lives; in other words, not very much. But ignorance isn’t always bliss. A little information can pre-
vent shocks and reduce power bills. Here are a handful of true/false questions to test your electrical IQ: 1. If lights flicker or dim repeatedly, you should call an electrician. TRUE. "Anytime you're getting flickering or dimming lights, there is a problem and you should call your electrician," said Douglas Sutton, Sr., president of Sutton Siding and Remodeling in Springfield, Ill. "Power outages due to power line accidents, strong wind, storms or extreme heat can cause brief interruptions. Customers can call their power company to find out details on the situation, or check their circuit boxes for those out-
ages. But flickering or dimming lights signifies an overload, and a professional should be contacted." You should also call your electrician if you are constantly resetting circuit breakers or changing fuses, smell burning electricity or need to replace faulty wiring. 2. It’s cheaper to leave fluorescent lights on when exiting a room than it is to turn them back on when you return. FALSE. This is a commonly held belief, based on the erroneous notion that fluorescent bulbs use a lot of power to get started. While it is true that a compact fluorescent bulb does require a brief surge when switched on, it works out to be around the same amount of energy as five seconds of normal use, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). So turning the lights off for more than five seconds will save more energy than leaving them on. 2. House wiring never needs replacing. FALSE. Depending on
the amount of use, insulation on house wires can become frayed or broken, creating a fire hazard. If you have any doubts about your wiring, have a qualified electrician perform a complete inspection. Houses built between 1965 and 1973, in particular, are at risk because many were built with aluminum wiring, which the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says is 55 times more likely to reach “fire hazard conditions” than regular copper wire. 3. A circuit breaker is not designed to protect against a ground fault. TRUE. Circuit breakers are designed to protect against high levels of electrical current caused by a short circuit. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) protect against ground faults, when current leaking from an appliance goes to ground through a person touching the appliance. Even a
small amount of current passing through a person this way can be lethal; a GFCI will trip if there’s a ground fault, whereas a circuit breaker won’t. 4. A twoparter: Computer screen savers save energy, and your computer will last longer if you leave it on all day, instead of shutting it off when you’re not using it. FALSE AND FALSE. Screen savers only save screens, not energy. If you want to save energy, turn the monitor off. In fact, the EPA recommends you turn the computer off, too, if you aren’t going to use it within a half hour. They claim the lifetime of the hard disc is limited by use, rather than start-ups. 5. You can damage a power tool by using the wrong size extension cord. TRUE. If your electric lawn mower, hedge trimmer, or leaf blower doesn’t get enough power, either because the extension
cord is too thin or too long to deliver it, it can damage and eventually destroy the motor. Also, overloading an extension cord can cause a fire or shock hazard. Be sure to use a cord rated to provide the proper amperage the tool requires, listed on the tool. Remember, when dealing with electrical issues in your home, safety should be your number one priority. “We’ve seen home owners put themselves in dangerous situations by thinking they could do a job cheaper by themselves,” said Frank Malpere, Jr., owner/president of Quality Building and Remodeling in Effort, Pa. “If it’s more than changing a light bulb, call a professional. Or take a how-to class at a local community college.” Just a little electrical knowledge can go a long way.

The heat is on outside, keep cool inside
FRIDAY, JULY 6, 2012
(ARA) - As summer heats up, air conditioning bills can rapidly rise. As homeowners feel the heat, many are looking for ways to save and stay cool. Many U.S. consumers strive to conserve energy at home. Forty-seven percent of Americans say they try to conserve energy all or most of the time, according to researchers at Iconoculture. One way to help lower utility bills in the summer and year-round is to replace drafty or leaky old windows with new, energy-efficient products. According to ENERGY STAR, replacing single-pane windows with ENERGY STAR qualified windows can save up to $126 to $501 a year on utility bills depending on your location. For example, the Pella 350 Series vinyl windows provide durable, triple-pane insulating glass window options. These highly energy-efficient windows help keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Vince Iturbe from Salt Lake City replaced a westwardfacing kitchen window and immediately noticed a difference in the temperature inside his home. "The window faces the sun the better part of the day, and it was just plain miserable during the summer," he says. "I'm so glad to be done with the heat." The product wasn't the only thing Iturbe was delighted in. Because of the Pella Promise, he found the right product for his home and budget, had a nomess, no-guess installation day experience and his investment is backed

by the total care guarantee - Pella's exclusive warranties on the product and installation. Cool tips Once energy-efficient windows are properly installed in your home, try these inexpensive, easy ways to help keep your house cool. • Provide shade for east and west windows. • When possible, delay heat-generating activities like baking or dishwashing until the evening on hot days. • Use ceiling fans to circulate air to help make the house more comfortable without over-using the air conditioning. • Seal air conditioning ducts and insulate ducts that run through unheated basements, crawl spaces and attics. • Install white window shades or miniblinds. Mini-blinds can reduce solar heat gain by 40 to 50 percent, according to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy. If you like energy savings, but dread cleaning blinds, consider Pella Designer Series windows and doors with optional between-the-glass blinds or shades. Since they're between glass, they accumulate less dust and dirt than traditional roomside window treatments. Plus, they can be closed when you are away to keep the heat out and opened when you are home to let the light in. With their outstanding energy-efficiency and built-in window treatments, it's a winning combination. For more home improvement inspiration and to find energy-efficient windows and doors in your area, visit Pella.com or call (888) 847-3552.
