While no one can say with complete certainty that clean air ducts promote better indoor air quality, theres little doubt that dirty ones collect contaminants like dust, pet dander, and chemicals. A six-room home can collect as much as 40 pounds of this each year, according to the HVAC Inspection, Maintenance, and Restoration Association (also known as NADCA). Professionals who have been specially trained to use Rotobrush equipment can remove these contaminants altogether. The US Environmental Protection Agency says homeowners should consider cleaning air ducts when: There is visual evidence of mold growing inside ducts or on other HVAC components. Mold can only be positively identified by an expert; final confirmation may require a laboratory test. Ducts are infested with vermin such as rodents or insects. Ducts are excessively clogged with dust, debris, or particles and are getting released into the home through the supply registers.

NADCA notes that contaminant buildup can also block airflow and force HVAC systems to work harder and for longer periods of time. This can increase energy bills and wear and tear on the systems themselves.

SANTA CRUZ (KPIX 5) Officials in Santa Clara county say duct cleaning companies using a variety of names are cold-calling homeowners and offering $49 cleanings that turn out to be way more expensive. In addition, officials say, the companies are falsely claiming affiliations with highly-rated businesses in the area.

Bonnie Ford of Affordable Heating and Air in Santa Cruz is one of the businesses trying to set the record straight. Ford, whose company has a A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau and great on-line reviews, says the unscrupulous operators are trying to piggyback on her companys good reputation, even going so far to use her and her husbands names during their sales calls.

They have zero to do with us, Ford told ConsumerWatch.

They represent themselves as your heating vendor that youve used before, said Robin Gysin of the Santa Clara County Dept. of Consumer Affairs.

And if homeowners do agree to a cleaning appointment, theyre usually hit with a big bill.

They almost always find a deficiency in the system. They either needed all new air ducts or insulation, Gysin explained.

Gysin says theyre also doctoring documents, making it appear they have the contractor licenses required by the state for bigger jobs. She says in one case, the person is using a contractor license number used by a masonry company in Reseda.

Gysin identified six companies as making the cold calls: Indoor Air Quality, Air Quality, A&B Heating and Air, Prius Clear Air, Prius Clean Air and Air Solution. She advises consumers to be extremely wary of an company cold-calling and offering to do work on your home.

FEARS that piling work on the site of former Bingley Hospital has caused vibrations which brought down a nearby garden wall are ill-founded say developers.

A wall to the rear of Roy and Gael Housley's home in Moorbottom Lane fell forward into their garden two days after deep work began on the new specialised dementia unit.

But Adrian Rooney, regional director of Bardsley Construction Yorkshire, said any complaints were taken seriously and vibrations were being closely monitored.

"The wall that has failed is a garden wall and not a retaining wall and also appears to be in a poor state of maintenance," he said, adding recent considerable rainfall would have added hydrostatic pressure to the garden walls.

"There is no evidence of damage to the external render to the houses or indeed any signs of damage to any other property or the surrounding area," Mr Rooney said.

"As soon as we were contacted by Mr and Mrs Housley, we moved to address their concerns by liaising further with our specialist contractors and piling works to construct a new wall at the Bingley site were temporarily halted while an expert assessment was carried out.

"From this expert assessment there was nothing to indicate that the vibrations were above the safe working limit."

Work has now restarted and the company has introduced extra vibration monitors. Engineers are also making hourly checks during the working day.

"The monitors are put in place to ensure we do not exceed our the safe working limit, which is set to provide reassurance that no structural damage to any properties will occur as a result of the vibrations," Mr Rooney added.

"Residents close to the works may experience minor noise and vibration within the property this is normal given the type of works being undertaken, but would state that this work is of short duration and will be complete by this Friday."

After several visits from city inspectors and private contractors who all said Matulis should have been hooked up to a 36-inch sewer main that ran by his home, a more in-depth search revealed that instead a cesspool was collecting waste in

Extension Cords, Packages Swiped from Porches - Video

Steamboat Springs, CO (PRWEB) January 15, 2015

When The Porches at Steamboat Springs opened eleven years ago, it was certainly a one-of-a-kind property concept for the popular ski resort and cowboy town. Although condominiums were still all the rage for ski travelers, The Porches owners Bruce Shugart and Shane Evans liked Steamboat Springs themselves so much they envisioned a neighborhood of spacious and gracious homes rather than the two to four bedroom condo towers going up in other resorts. As avid skiers, recalled Bruce Shugart, Shane and I had been to all the Colorado ski resorts. From the slopes we could see the lodging properties, and of course we sampled each ski areas aprs ski and night life as well. We found we kept coming back to Steamboat Springs and it became our favorite resort destination for the terrain and for the town. We knew we had to be a part of Steamboat Springs lodging and Steamboat Springs real estate.

Shugart and Evans were already well established in the Aspen/Snowmass destination as accomplished builders of luxury homes, ranches and commercial buildings. Their business, Structural Associates Company, also provides maintenance and management services after construction and landscaping is completed. To manifest their vision for Steamboat Springs, Shugart and Evans created Mountain Meadow Preserve LLC, acquired 16 acres just 400 yards from the ski area base, and then began to build a different sort of lodging option that could be a mountain home rather than just a rented condo. Homes at The Porches are 3,000 to 5,000 square feet and are multilevel with three fireplaces, including one in the master bedroom. Each bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom, and there is a game room with either pool table or fooseball table or both. Wireless internet access is complimentary, and each unit will have multiple flat screen TVs. Each home has its own large porch, which has become a most valuable amenity as travelers have discovered the perfect weather that is summer in the Rockies. All homes are easy walking to the free city bus system, but The Porches also provides complimentary private transportation to restaurants, shopping, getting around town and to the mountain if necessary. The Barn is the multiuse community facility where guests arrive and where the full time concierge is available both before and during a visit. There is a workout room and a steam room, outdoor heated pool, hot tub and fire pit, game room, and a towering stone fireplace in the lounge area. The expansive amenities and activities at The Barn are offered to those with whole ownership, fractional ownership, and to luxury rental guests.

The Porches at Steamboat Springs has continued to build, and in the second half of 2014 it became apparent that a more sophisticated website would better serve the current owners and those looking for a luxury experience in a Colorado vacation resort with its own Old West traditions and legendary yearly snow totals. Wandzilak Web Design was contracted to redesign and build a site that would showcase the integration of space and place in a unique mountain setting. We are so pleased at the uptick in interest weve seen since our website expanded and began to offer more viewer interaction, said The Porches General Manager Emilie Crider. We will use our online photo gallery to show the unique interiors and exteriors of our homes, and as always we will provide a calendar of local Steamboat events. The best of this years ski days are yet to come, but we are already looking forward to our summer rodeos and concerts.

The new website for The Porches at Steamboat Springs has information for travelers looking for a short stay with luxury cachet and amenities prior to buying, and contact information for those looking for mountain home ownership in a world class resort.

About The Porches at Steamboat Springs

The Porches is a neighborhood of homes located close to the base of the ski mountain in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. These high end, thoughtfully crafted homes range in size from 3,000 square feet to 5,000 square feet and they feature custom beams, professional kitchens, the finest cabinetry, custom ranch stone fireplaces, and of course, comfortable and inviting porches. These luxury homes are available for whole and fractional ownership, and as luxury rentals.
