Donald Y asked:


I have the needle and water pressure dials tools needed, just don’t know how to perform this task. Are there valves that need to be off,on? I have CommandAire system that is 15 years old. Hoses have collapsed but the water mixture still gets through, just slower. My installer charges $65 for a housecall. I want to avoid paying $65 each time the system gets a little air in it, causing hoses to collapse.

Scot asked:


I am curious as to how well they actually heat your home. Are you warm & comfy? Is it better or just as good as a gas forced air furnace? What is the approximate cost. Do you feel you’re getting your moneys worth and what part of the country are you in?

Thank you!

sabrina_t_morris asked:


We are building a new home and considering a geothermal heat pump. I’ve read it uses 70% less power to heat, but we will use it mostly for cooling in our hot humid climate. Does humidity have an effect? I’ve also read that a hybrid system would reduce initial cost. Does anyone have any experience with these systems?

Who’s the environmentalist: Al Gore or George Bush?

Matt asked:


HOUSE # 1:

A 20-room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house all heated by gas. In ONE MONTH ALONE this mansion consumes more energy than the average American household in an ENTIRE YEAR. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2,400.00 per month. In natural gas alone (which last time we checked was a fossil fuel), this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not in a northern or Midwestern “snow belt,” either. It’s in the South.

HOUSE # 2:

Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university, this house incorporates every “green” feature current home construction can provide. The house contains only 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms) and is nestled on arid high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F.) heats the house in winter and cools it in summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas, and it consumes 25% of the electricity required for a conventional
heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Flowers and shrubs native to the area blend the property into the surrounding rural landscape.

HOUSE # 1 (20 room energy guzzling mansion) is outside of Nashville, Tennessee. It is the abode of that renowned environmentalist (and filmmaker) Al Gore.

HOUSE # 2 (model eco-friendly house) is on a ranch near Crawford , Texas . Also known as “the Texas White House,” it is the private residence of the President of the United States , George W. Bush.

I know some about Geothermal but i am having a hard time finding statistics on this to make my speech offical, could some one help?
Hot springs keep spas running and are a vacation destination for many. Not only can this energy be used for recreation, but it is also useful in the agricultural world because it heats green houses and is used in the industrial world to produce hydrogen, pasteurize milk and other processed items.

Cheap Refrigerators: Easy Cooling and Storing of Food Products

Raisa Raima asked:


The refrigerator are used to store, freeze, prepare and preserve food products in a fresh state for comparatively longer period of time when compared with the traditional icebox. The refrigerators have become the latest accessory of the kitchen. In these electronic devices, the users can keep various food items such as dairy products, meats, fish, poultry, fruits and vegetables.

While shopping for a new refrigerator, the users must check out the new look. Besides looks, the users must choose a refrigerator that matches their kitchen. Trim kits and panels, color selections and door styles are some of the other important things that must be considered while selecting this electronic appliance. The size of the refrigerator is a prior factor, as sometimes large refrigerator would not suit a small kitchen. Moreover, the refrigerator should fit into the space in the kitchen.

Depending upon the need and choice, the users can opt for contoured door or counter-depth refrigerator. The counter-depth refrigerators for instance, are top-of-the-line refrigerators. They offer many advanced storage features accompanied with more shallow profile to fit seamlessly into your kitchen’s decor when compared with the contoured door.

The luxury of cooling allows householders to purchase more food in bulk, which can be eaten at leisure. Ice cream for instance, a popular commodity of the 20th century was previously only available by traveling long distances to where the product was made fresh, which had to be consumed on the spot. Now, it is easily available at every nook and corner of the street.

In the recent times, the cool refrigerators have shown greater advantages over the frost free refrigerators. These cool refrigerators are easily available in the market and come with more compartments. This helps the users to keep different food products at different temperatures.

Refrigerators are long term commitments, so these should be chosen wisely. The size, features, space are some of the important factors that should be considered while buying a refrigerator. As a matter of fact, the number of shelves, bottle storage space and the vegetable storage should also be noticed. Some of the well known refrigerator manufacturers are Samsung, LG, Whirlpool and Onida. All of them are trying various marketing tactics to allure the Internet users. To check out the cheap refrigerator, one must search and research the prices and other factors. For ease and convenience, many people also buy cheap refrigerators through online shopping stores.
