When it's winter and co-o-o-o-ld, the last thing you want is for your heating system to fail. Electrically powered baseboard/wall heaters are normally extremely efficient, converting nearly 100 percent of their energy to produce heat and warming only the parts of your house that you choose. Still, as with any household appliance, you will occasionally encounter problems. If your baseboard heater needs repair, there's a natural tendency to assume that an electrical issue is at fault. However, although this is the commonest reason, it is not always the case. Be an informed homeowner and learn the difference between a minor bug that can be taken care of with a simple DIY fix and one that will require a professional HVAC technician to repair your electric baseboard or wall heater for you.

Heater Doesn't Start

Electrical Repair Tip #1: make sure that the power to the appliance is on. Next, check to see if the thermostat is set higher than the current temperature in the room. After that, verify whether a ground-fault interrupter (GFI) or circuit breaker has been tripped or a fuse has blown. Otherwise, the trouble may be a short in the thermostat wiring. If none of these is at fault, there's most likely a problem with the heater itself, such as a burnt-out heating element, that will need repair by an expert.

Heater Is Not Warming Adequately

Since electricity is the most expensive way to heat your home, you are well advised to make sure that your electric heater is working at peak efficiency. If it's not warming your room adequately, there are a number of possibilities to investigate.

The heat flow may simply be physically blocked, which is easy to take care of. Just make sure that there is room for the warmed air to circulate and the unit is not obstructed by furniture or heavy curtains. Allow 12 inches of clearance at a minimum, both in front of and above the heater, as well as at least three-quarters of an inch underneath. Do not place any object on top of the unit. This is imperative, not only for air flow to permit the proper functioning of your heater, but also as a fire safety measure.

Other possibilities are that the heater does not have a high enough wattage for the size of your room (per square foot of space, 5-8 watts for a baseboard heater or 10 watts for a wall heater is recommended in a modern, energy-efficient home, and more in an older house) or that the room is inadequately insulated to prevent heat loss.

Finally, make sure that all rooms of your home are heated to some degree, even if they are unused. Cold air can seep into the room where you are operating your heater, lowering the ambient temperature.

There is a Smell of Burning

Apartment owner Peter Davis has been locked in battles with hisbuilding's developers for years and warns new laws that come into force on Thursday will cause an "even worse hell for home owners than we've been through".

Mr Davis and his wife bought an apartment in a new block on Sydney's upper north shore seven years ago, only to pay tens of thousands in legal fees to fix construction defects that required replastering the pool, a new ventilation system, as well as fireproofing issues discovered only last year.

"We [the owners' corporation] have paid millions in legal fees and expert reports that would stand up in court. Under the new laws, we would have had to pay for the repairs ourselves. These new laws are completely inappropriate," Mr Davis said.

Owners of new apartments will now have only two rather than six years to get developers to foot the bill for building defects, once the Home Building Amendment Act takes effect.

A spokesman for Fair Trading NSW said the new laws, passed in September last year, were designed to strengthen the consumer protections and address issues in construction industry by changing the licensing system for tradespeople.

These will increase penalties for practitioners and companies with a track record of issues, as well as changing payment structures to ensure fewer major defects.

Home owners will be able to access the previous six-year warranty only in relation to flaws that put the building or property at risk of falling down or becoming uninhabitable.The definition for "major defect" is new in the act.

But the peakbody representing strata owners has described the new defect rules as "draconian" and told Fairfax Media the changes would have serious and far-reaching consequences because many issues take years to emerge.

NEW GLASGOW Construction of The Willow apartment complex in New Glasgow should be complete in April, with tenants hopefully moving in the first of May.

Owner Bruce Margeson said things are going well on the project, which he estimates will cost around $8 million.

I own older apartment buildings in town and wanted to build something newer, he

said.

Margeson, a lifelong New Glasgow resident. said his brother built similar units in Halifax, so he capitalized on that knowledge for his own project.

Its the twin of his in Halifax.

Margeson said crews are now working on the inside of the building, with about half of the wiring and plumbing completed. Workers will soon start installing insulation and drywall.

Most of the workers come from the area. We try to use as many local people as possible, he said.

Buildings taller than any others currently finished in downtown Boca will be allowed on smaller lots, the City Council decided Tuesday.

In a 3-2 vote, the City Council decided that parcels must be at least 1.2 acres to qualify for downtown high-rises that reach 140 feet, plus 20 feet for decorative elements. Before the decision, the pieces of land eligible for high-rises needed to be larger: At least 2 acres.

Tuesday's decision means that six new parcels in the downtown area are eligible to have buildings that rise to the maximum height, according to Jim Bell, acting deputy development director for the city.

The council held meetings Monday and Tuesday where many residents stepped forward to urge the city to reject allowing bigger buildings on smaller lots. Residents raised concerns about traffic and parking and said they feared construction-related problems.

Barbara Stone, a downtown resident for the past 3 1/2 years, said she prefers the current skyline. "I came here to enjoy the sky, the trees," she said.

But City Council members said they believed the residents' concern grew out of a fundamental misunderstanding of what dropping the minimum acreage for taller buildings would mean.

Councilman Mike Mullaugh said dropping the acreage requirement down to a 1.2-acre-minimum will allow buildings to rise higher. But that will come with other required features, such as bigger sidewalks and beautiful architectural details.

He cited an opinion from the city's design consultants, Urban Design Associates, that other requirements for the taller buildings also would prevent inappropriately large buildings on small lots. "I personally accept ... what UDA said, and we don't need" any acreage requirement, Mullaugh said.

The new code approved Tuesday represents a compromise from what Urban Design Associates suggested: It said the city should have no minimum parcel size for taller buildings.

That suggestion was considered Monday by the City Council, meeting as the Community Redevelopment Agency. But the council ultimately agreed that parcels must be at least 1.2 acres for the taller buildings.
