exton: Earth Day! My Favorite Eco-Links - 04/22/07 03:13 PM
To celebrate Earth Day, here are a few of my favorite links.
The first I would like to offer is for the Edison Electric Institute. At this site you will find some of the latest electrical industry news. You might be surprised!
Here is another surprise: The National Priorities List. You can search for Superfund Sites. Why would I select this site to list for Earth Day? You might be shocked to find out how many there are and how close one might be to you.
Ok, this time I'll be a little more positive.  The title is: What are ENERGY STAR Qualified New … (5 comments)

I’ve been searching the web for sites that will be helpful to my clients who are interested in energy efficiency. Here are a few of my favorite links for your entertainment and edification:
Save money energy by using a tankless water heater or on-demand water heaters.
 
Compare tankless heaters and read some interesting articles.
 
Learn about building energy-efficient homes.
 
Investigate just how efficient your new appliances can be.
 
This is a really cool way to find out how much you could save on a new refrigerator – you must know the model number of your old fridge … (4 comments)

exton: Environmentally Friendly Real Estate - 04/09/07 03:28 PM
 
 A recent encounter with a client helped to drive home the fact that much has changed since the 70’s.
This young man has a good education from a top-notch school and a good job with a growing company. Each home that we looked at was examined for site orientation, but that was all! It turns out that his father had built a “passive solar” home many years ago and so, now, southern exposure was important to him.
He decided which of the many homes he looked at would be HIS first home, and at the walk-through we had a few … (6 comments)

exton: Fluorescent Bulbs and Tankless Heaters - 03/26/07 07:32 PM
janeAnne’s blog, 10+ Simple Retrofits for Older Homes , inspired me to write a little about adding energy efficient features to older homes.
Yes, as janeAnne mentioned, I do have the ancient fluorescent bulb. It’s a “60 watt” screw-in version and works as well today as it did 13 years ago. When we moved  18 months ago a couple other bulbs the same age were left behind. It joins about 12 newer bulbs, both “60 watt” and “100 watt.” I use them wherever I can. My children recently had a laugh at my expense when I installed a new dining … (4 comments)

exton: All in all, it was a great day! - 01/31/07 09:40 PM
A few months ago, my daughter's boyfriend said he would like to buy a house. The town that he was considering moving to is about 45 min from our house. After some discussion I found that he wanted to move there so he would be able to attend a college  that is located another 45 minutes beyond that town, and still be close to his family and his girlfriend.

exton: “I Like Her Picture” and Other Silly Things that Sellers Say - 01/26/07 04:32 PM
#1  "I like her picture! Let's hire her"
Just because she's a great-looking gal, or he's a dapper dude, doesn't mean she or he should be the one to sell YOUR home. (OK, good looks can't hurt, but that shouldn't be your FIRST reason for selecting a real estate agent). Experience, knowledge, and wisdom will work a lot harder for you than a pretty face.
#2  "I want every thin dime that I can squeeze out of my house."
You SHOULD get a fair price for your home, but over-pricing can push you out of the market. If three similar houses are … (3 comments)
