After a long, snowy and brutally cold winter in Connecticut, spring is finally here and many people have started making their annual spring cleaning to-do lists. Eversource Energy is encouraging customers to combine money-saving, energy-efficiency measures with their seasonal chores.

While many customers are still cleaning up from all the snow we received in New England this winter, I am also reminding them that spring is the perfect time to make homes more energy efficient, says Enoch Lenge, Energy Efficiency Spokesperson at Eversource. The first and easiest thing to do, now that daylight savings time is here, is to pull back the drapes and take advantage of the longer days to warm up a room and keep energy use down.

Eversource Energy is the new name of the former Yankee Gas and Connecticut Light and Power.

Frederick, MD (PRWEB) April 01, 2015

A new home energy savings solution developed with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is now available for the first time to many homeowners in central Maryland and southern Pennsylvania. Aeroseal is a breakthrough technology developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory that is 95% effective at sealing air duct leaks a major source of energy loss that is estimated to plague 90 percent of homes and buildings in the U.S. today. Earlier this year, Holtzople Heating & Air Conditioning became one of the first licensed Aeroseal service providers in the area, making the breakthrough technology available for the first time to many local homeowners.

According to independent studies, most U.S. homes lose between 30% and 50% of heating and cooling air through leaks in the duct system. Aeroseal seals these leaks through a unique process that locates and seals the leaks from the inside of the ductwork. Aeroseals impact on reducing home energy loss is so significant that it has been rated the single most effective means for increasing home energy efficiency in most homes today about twice as effective as insulating the basement and more than five times more effective than upgrading windows.

Before Aeroseal technology, leaky ducts could only be sealed using sealing tape or applying a compound directly to the exterior of the duct where each leak was located. In contrast, Aeroseal is applied as a non-toxic mist that travels throughout the interior of a homes entire duct system. The microscopic particles of sealant locate and collect around the leaks until a permanent airtight seal is created.

Its kind of like Fix-A-Flat for your heating and cooling system, said Jerred Holtzople, Owner of Holtzople Heating & Air Conditioning. Since it works from the inside of your duct work, it easily fixes all leaks even those hidden behind walls and under insulation. The entire process usually takes us just a few hours to complete and the results are immediate.

Aeroseal was selected as Popular Sciences Invention of the Year and was recently named to the U.S. Department of Energys Top 100 Inventions of the last 23 years. The technology was recently acquired by Aeroseal LLC., a company dedicated to making the technology available to home owners throughout the United States.

About Aeroseal Technology First developed in 1994 by researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and funded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), The Department of Energy (DOE) and others, Aeroseal technology provides a highly effective method for sealing leaky ductwork in residential homes and commercial buildings. The Aeroseal process has proven to be the most effective, affordable and viable method of sealing leaky ductwork. More than 100,000 homes throughout the U.S. have been treated with Aeroseal.

About Holtzople Heating & Air Conditioning: Holtzople Heating and Air Conditioning is a division of Holtzople's Incorporated, a family owned and operated HVAC company in Frederick, MD. The company provides complete installation, repair and preventive maintenance agreements for residential oil and gas furnaces, boilers, heat pumps and air conditioning systems.

Metro Express Service Launches Educator Discount Program to DFW Teachers

BLOOMINGTON The last couple weeks have been like Christmas morning for Danny Rice.

Rice, circulation and outreach services supervisor for Bloomington Public Library, beams like a kid with a new toy as he climbs into the front seat of the new Bookmobile that will hit the streets April 13.

BPL's 1999 Bookmobile will be put out to pasture, replaced by a $250,000 vehicle funded 80 percent by the library and 20 percent by Golden Prairie Public Library District, a collection of townships that pay to use BPL services and donated additional money to help buy the vehicle.

The new Bookmobile comes with a bunch of improvements, including on-board wireless Internet, better heating and cooling systemsand a backup camera. But Rice, a driver for two years, is most excited about what it shouldn't have: electrical issues that led to canceled stops and extra repair costs.

"It still serves us well when it works correctly, but it's time to move on," he said of the previous Bookmobile that recently crossed 100,000 miles."This will be less expensive because of fewer maintenance issues."

Rice hopes the new vehicle and increasing public awareness will make Bookmobile service more popular than ever. It currently averages about 25 patrons per stop the vehicle visits each stop every three weeks for between 45 and 90 minutes, most for about an hour.

The basics of the operation will stay the same with the new vehicle: six BPL employees will take turns driving the Bookmobile around those 40 locations across Bloomington and in Arrowsmith and Ellsworth, serving as a librarian while it's stopped. A full schedule is available on the library website.

The new vehicle also has about the same capacity as its predecessor. It will be stocked with about 6,500 books, magazines, Blu-ray movies, DVD's and video games selected from BPL's most popular and available for checkout, and it will deliver other items patrons have put on hold online.

Rice said there's a perception the Bookmobile is intended for children the 1999 model has a rainbow of colors painted on the side, versus clean gray, green and blue stripes for the new one or for people who can't afford the time or money to go to the library. But he said any patron is welcome.

"It has less to do with finances and more with convenience," he said of why patrons visit the vehicle that has been on the street in some form since 1930. "If the Bookmobile is two blocks from your house, it's easier than driving 20 minutes downtown."
