Everything you need to know about the Freon Phase Out
There has been much talk about the R-22/Freon Phase Out, so we assembled a list of valuable information you can share with family and friends. What is R-22? The EPA is phasing out Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC) refrigerants because they are damaging the ozone layer which is protecting us from harmful sun radiation. They currently focus on refrigerants like HCFC-22 (R-22/Freon) and HCFC-142b. R-22 is often used in air conditioning equipment which is why certain AC users are impacted. When and where …

Myth Busters: Heating Edition
Even though we all heat our homes during the winter, there is still a fair amount of misleading information about how to keep your family cozy in the most efficient way. Let’s bust a couple of these heating myths! Myth #1: Floors and walls are always cold during the winter This may be true in some cases, but floors and walls should generally remain moderately warm. If they aren’t, we recommend checking for leaks around windows, doors and ductwork. There …

It’s cold! Time to shut off unused heating vents?
Here’s something we all agree on:  Closing or blocking heating vents in unused rooms saves energy, because you’re not wasting it on a room that you’re not occupying, and the air gets redirected to the rest of the house, which makes it easier to heat your house and lowers your bill.  Except for one thing:  It isn’t true. A 2003 study by a long-time government scientist who studies ventilation issues is often cited to bust this myth.  Its conclusions?  “The …

Propane Tanks *oink oink*
Propane tanks are often called “pigs” because of the shape of the tank and its short legs.  Some people make this point abundantly clear as you can see from these photos… Now, a lot of people think of pigs as cute and if you think so (or if you think Miss Piggy is cute), you can paint your “pig” that way… We all know family comes first and that counts for pigs, too… And finally, to paraphrase the great football …

What do you need to know about the Freon Phase out?
If you are using an AC unit made prior to 2010, then you are likely using a R22 refrigerant (a.k.a. freon), which will be discontinued by 2020 per the EPA’s ruling. Any AC unit made after 2010 shouldn’t be using R22 refrigerant, so this blog is only for those of you who have a model made before 2010. For those homes this ruling affects, here’s what you need to know. This is not a ban on the use or sale …
