    VUSD leaders OK $194 million bond - July 19, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

    By Richard Bammer

    rbammer@thereporter.com @REBammer on Twitter

    In a no-surprise vote, Vacaville Unified leaders on Thursday unanimously agreed to approve a resolution to place a $194 million bond measure on the Nov. 4 ballot.

    Before governing board members were polled in a roll call, trustee Michael Kitzes called the resolution and the tax measure which, if approved by voters, will modernize and upgrade the district's 16 campuses "the most important" vote to date in his 13-year tenure on the policy-making panel.

    "It will revamp the district in so many ways," he said, adding that bond measure supporters must now "go out and whip up the community. It's so important for Vacaville."

    Trustee Chris Flask, referring to the bond project list among the meeting's agenda documents, said, "There are a lot of great things in here."

    Once placed on the ballot, the measure will require, under Proposition 39, a 55 percent majority to be approved.

    As with Measure V, a $101 million bond passed by Vacaville voters in 2001, it would call for accountability measures, namely annual performance and financial audits, the formation of a citizen's oversight committee, and a limit on an estimated tax rate.

    The trustee vote, with board member Whit Whitman patched in on a conference call, came after a monthslong process, which included the creation of a "facilities needs list," which trustees reviewed in a draft at their June 26 meeting.

    The bond money would be used to "improve the quality of education," according to ballot measure wording included in agenda documents.

    AC Man of Houston Now Providing More Affordable System Replacement - July 17, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Houston, TX (PRWEB) July 16, 2014

    Recently HVAC contractor AC Man of Houston announced a reduction in its repair and replacement services. The company wishes to make HVAC solutions more affordable for its growing client base in the Houston metro area.

    With summer time already here, air conditioning (A/C) systems in various placesfrom homes in residential areas to multiple-story buildings that house large corporationshave to work harder to keep rooms at a cool temperature. In some cases, the burden can be too much to bear. A/C systems can be easily overworked, and they consequently break down with the increased workload.

    Air conditioning is especially crucial for places like Houston, which is known for intense heat during the summertime. Moreover, A/Cs can be expensive to repair, and there's need for companies that can offer services that virtually anyone can afford.

The company has a professional staff that is trained to handle all sorts of issues, including the most complex technical problems. Moreover, AC Man of Houston is able to get the system fixed within the same day. The flat 10 percent discount fee also applies to heating units. With the months getting colder towards the end of the year, it would be the turn of the heating systems to feel the extra burden, with an increased responsibility to keep buildings warm.

    In addition to discounts on A/C and heating system repair, technicians from AC Man of Houston advise customers on preventative maintenance services. This includes cleaning or replacing air filters, maintaining the condenser, inspecting the coolant lines, and checking for leaks. By doing this, customers can better ensure more efficient and longer-lasting HVAC systems.

    E-M Air Systems Inc., the GTAs Leading Provider of Custom HVAC Services, Addresses History of GTA Heat Alerts - July 11, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) July 11, 2014

    E-M Air Systems Inc. (http://www.EMAir.ca), the leading provider of custom commercial, residential, and industrial air conditioning (A/C) and heating repair, maintenance, and installation services in the Greater Toronto Area, is addressing the recent history of heat alerts in the GTA.

    Each year, Toronto Public Health monitors heat alerts between May 15 and September 30 and records them in a chart. These alerts are important because they offer some insight into when extreme heat is likely to occur, says Enzo Colosimo, founder of E-M Air Systems Inc. History is usually a good indicator for future weather patterns, so these alerts should be taken into consideration. (Source: Alert Statistics - Heat Alert and Extreme Heat Alert, City of Toronto web site; http://app.toronto.ca/tpha/heatStats.html, last accessed July 3, 2014.)

    Colosimo advises that both infants and the elderly are particularly at risk and special attention should be paid to these advisories, with some kind of plan in place to protect these groups. Extreme heat is a serious thing; while there are stories of pets being left in cars and passing away from heat, young children and seniors are equally as susceptible and need to take extra precautions.

    According to the chart, last year alone, July had one heat alert and four extreme heat alerts. Going back just two years to 2012, July had four heat alerts and seven extreme heat alerts, Colosimo adds. That should tell GTA residents that July is the month they need to prepare for; using this chart as a reference, it is the month in which extreme heat alerts seem to be happening the most.

    Colosimo suggests that all homeowners and residents ensure their air conditioners and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are working properly. If the air conditioner or HVAC system needs to be fixed, those repairs should be completed before July. And if necessary, residents should contact a company that specializes in air conditioner installations.

    Air conditioners and heating and cooling systems should be tested often before any extreme weather kicks in, he notes. Furthermore, for homeowners in new homes, dont forget that while a subdivision is under construction, opening windows may not be an option due to heavy dust from construction, meaning a central air conditioner needs to be installed.

    Its imperative to stay cool inside ones home, Colosimo The staff at E-M Air Systems Inc. are experts at air conditioner installations and can quickly replace old or non-functional air conditioners with top-of-the-line brands.

    E-M Air Systems Inc. has been installing custom commercial, residential, and industrial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in the new construction and retrofit market in Southern Ontario since 1987. Because E-M Air Systems Inc. designs every HVAC system it installs and manufactures the duct work in its own sheet metal shop, clients do not have to rely on outside firms for costly blueprints or work; this translates into greater value and the industrys most competitive pricing. E-M Air Systems Inc. is a member of the Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Institute of Canada (HRAI), the Canadian Home Builders Association, the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board, the Technical Safety and Standards Authority (TSSA), and the Residential Heating Ventilation Contractors Association (RHVCA).

    Missoulians rush hardware stores during heat wave - July 9, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

    MISSOULA, Mont. -

    Temperatures have been more than warm. People are trying to keep cool however they can, either with fans, air conditioning or swimming. One hardware store in Missoula and a heating and cooling company are seeing sales take off with the latest heat spike.

    These 90-degree days are sending people to search for anything to keep them cool.

    A heating and cooling service cannot believe the volume of calls coming in.

    "It's been pretty busy; we're probably taking 10-12 calls a day for air conditioners that need repair, lot of them need to be replaced," said Bill Lamb, an employee at Garden City Plumbing & Heating.

    Lamb isn't the only one feeling the pressure. A hardware store in Missoula says people have been rushing in to get everything from air conditioners to water tubes.

    "The shelves that once were stocked full are now starting to dwindle, quickly. We're now trying to restock as fast as we can. So obviously, we've had a great uptake in sales," explained Nicholas Hunter, the floor manager at Missoula Ace Hardware.

    Missoula's average temperature on this day is 84 degress, and we reached around 93 degrees, which is almost a 10-degree difference.

    "Tend to get really busy this time of year, but this year, it just kind of hit us all at once," said Lamb.

    Lamb said the air conditioning service is busier this year compared to last, and he credits the hot weather.

    Condo glass panels may look great, but you'll pay more for heat and AC - July 7, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Printed with permission from Dan Barnabic, author of the Condo Bible for Canadians.

    What does the future hold for condos and how long will they last? These are by far the questions I am asked most often by condo buyers and owners alike.

    Life Span of Condo Building Components

    Condo buildings consist of thousands of individual components. Over time, due to wear and tear, those components need repairs and replacements. Knowing how old the complex is and when certain components were last repaired or replaced will give you an idea of when theyll likely need maintenance and replacements again.

    The chart at the bottom of this article shows operational life expectancies of major mechanical components of a condo complex over the years. From the sea of available data and through consultation with building experts, I created this chart which I believe provides a fair reflection of maintenance and replacement costs over time to an average high-rise condo building.

    The first major component that will need maintenance and replacement is the roof of the complex. It will usually last up to about 10 years, after which it will require maintenance and replacement by the time it reaches 15 to 18 years.

    Plumbing/piping will probably be the last as quality and durability has improved over the years, so you can expect it to remain operational for about 50 years. From thereon, it will require maintenance and eventual replacement as well. Standard size windows may also last about 50 years, requiring occasional maintenance such as replacement of screens and sealant. Complexes built of all glass windows need to be addressed in more detail.

    Bear in mind that maintenance and repairs to the inside of the individual unit are the direct responsibility of the unit owner. Monthly maintenance fees do not cover anything inside the condo unit. Appliances, heating, air-conditioning, and electrical fixtures inside the unit have to be maintained and eventually replaced by the unit owner.

    All Glass Windows

    Because of their appeal, facades of new condo buildings lately have been transforming into glass, often extending from floor to ceiling of each condo unit. It gives condos a more attractive look and is a great selling feature, but building experts have known for quite some time that todays glass-walled structures are less energy efficient than the stone and concrete buildings that were put up 40 or 50 years ago.

    Jackson County making repairs on its buildings - July 6, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

    MURPHYSBORO -- Mold mediation for the county-owned Craine building in Jackson County is almost complete.

    Tom Redmond, chairman of the Jackson County Building and Grounds committee, said Wednesday the mediation is finished and the county is waiting on final legal action to complete the transaction.

    Redmond said the firm that completed the project, White and Borgognoni Architects in Carbondale, must have their legal counsel review the project to ensure it has been done to the legal standards of the project description. Once the architectural firm reviews the project, the county will review it and $26,640 will be issued to the contractor.

    The county is also taking measures to fix problems within its own courthouse.

    The heating and cooling systems in the courthouse have had problems and there have been reports of the air conditioning not working in some courtrooms this summer.

    A plan approved in May by the county board is meant to fix major leaking and water damage in the courthouse basement. Also, the repairs will take care of all heating and cooling needs on the first and second floors, as well as the basement.

    Jackson County Chairman John Rendleman said fixing leaks in the basement will allow the courthouse to have offices in the basement again, which will free up much needed space for other offices.

    The total cost for the courthouse repair project will be about $764,000.

    Rendleman said the finance committee authorized the expenditure of $200,000 from previously appropriated funds for capital improvements to help offset some of the cost.

    He said the county will also seek a loan not to exceed $600,000 for the balance. The loan will be paid back by funds through the regular general revenue account and must be paid back within two years after taking out the loan.
