PARMA, OH (WOIO) -
On a night when the temperature in Parma is dipping into the teens, Gary Pouszakowski came home to a dead furnace.
"When I got here it was cold and I was surprised," Pouszakowski said. "So I checked the furnace and it just wasn't running."
So he called Hogg Heating and Cooling and Jack Dinnin arrived quickly and got to work. Fortunately, it was a pretty fast fix.
"The igniter went out on the smart valve. Replaced the three wire ignitor and she's up and running," Dinnin said.
It was up and running about 30 minutes later, good news, because this is a night you're going to need your furnace.
"I didn't need a new furnace so I was happy," said Pouszakowski.
The guys at Hogg's have all been working eight to 12 hour days.
"We've been very busy. Daily. 20 calls a day and an install a day. A new furnace in a home," said Dinnin.
But winter's not over yet and Dinnin has a little advice.

Heating businesses are working overtime
Early this week at theARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit in Washington, D.C., a group of entrepreneurs, researchers, and investors gathered for a session that was equal parts innovative, smart, optimistic, and downright crazy. At the ARPA-E Future Energy Pitching Session, eight early-stage start-ups have three minutesstrictly enforcedtosell a panel of venture capitalists on their companies. The venture folks ask a few questions and then offer advice, and generally knock the excited presenters down a peg or two.
At last year's summit,the pitches included rotation-free wind power, uranium molten-salt nuclear reactors, and a device designed to pull energy out of the air thanks to ambient temperature changes. Some of these ideas are very high-risk, and potentially very high-reward; perfect for venture capital, and sometimes, for ARPA-E itself to throw in some money.
"The fire exits are on your lefthand side, should you need them," began the moderator. Indeed they are; off we go with some of the best ideas:
Onboard Dynamics: Refuel any vehicle for $1 per gallon from any natural gas line
Natural gas is now being produced in huge volumes in various parts of the United States, and proponents say it could be an extremely cheap alternative to oil-based gasoline. But one major hurdle is infrastructure: There areless than a thousandcompressed natural gas (CNG) refueling stations around the United States right now. Onboard Dynamics wants to eliminate the need for a lot of that infrastructure by putting the gas compressor on to vehicles themselves.
By letting the car or truck do the compressing, we wouldn't need any filling stations at all. "Sixty million homes and businesses could become natural gas refueling stations," said presenter and CEO Rita Hansen. The idea is to hook into any low-pressure gas source and use one or two of an engine's cylinders as a natural gas compressor, when the car is not moving. The remaining engine cylinders run to power that compression and to provide cooling. When refueling is finished and the car needs to actually move again, all engine cylinders run as normal.
The company has its first customer, Deschutes County in Oregon, but the investors on the panel warned how hard it would be to, essentially, convince car part manufacturers to change everything that they do overnight. The road is long and the climb is steep when it comes to changing our primary vehicle fuel source.
CrowdComfort: People-sourced building control
Do you work in an office? Someone is always cold, right? Or hot. Or somehow uncomfortable. And either everyone keeps changing the thermostat to suit their own needs or complaints get sent to maintenance, who maybe after a few months might make a change. In the meantime, someone is paying for energy to cool or heat a building to points that no one seems happy about. Time to use those angry crowds to fix that.
"We sought to empower people with their smartphones to create the world's first crowd-sourced thermostat," said Eric Graham, the company's CEO. It's actually a straightforward idea: I'm cold, so I tap a button on my phone saying so. Over my whole floor, maybe a few people say they're extremely cold, a few say they're somewhat cold, and so on, and a software-based recommendation engine generates a number for how the building should actually be heated. This can be done in very basic fashion, where a manager turns a knob based on the generated number, or the software can integrate with larger buildings to more automatically affect the building's climate. It wouldn't cost all that much to install or to run, according to Graham, and there is potential for energy savings if unnecessary heating and cooling can be avoided.

Crowd-Sourced Thermostats, Modular Fusion Reactors, and Other Ideas From ARPA-E Future Energy Pitching Session
BOW Concerned Taxpayers of Bow has presented a petitioned warrant article it says is a money-saving alternative to the towns $6,796,000 proposal to build a new fire and police safety facility on town-owned land.
The groups petition is asking voters for $225,000 to repair the electrical system in the fire station and community center, and provide proper ventilation in the centers kitchen. The petition was signed by 120 registered voters, and member Bryan K. Gould said it would satisfy the towns needs in the long-term.
The $225,000 will remedy the electrical issues the fire marshal identified when the town fire chief invited him to inspect the firehouse. It will also pay for repairs to the hood and ventilation system for the cook top in the building, he said. The $225,000 will certainly fix the issues with the firehouse/community center that have been raised as a justification for spending over $10 million on a new complex.
The town proposes a 25,000-square-foot public safety building to house the fire, emergency management and police departments. In addition, voters will have a choice of approving $4,640,000 to renovate the fire station and the community center, and $1,724,000 to renovate the existing police station. The Board of Selectmen and the Budget Committee do not support the articles to repair the facilities.
Another article seeks $200,000 to install a geothermal heating and cooling system in the public safety building. If the safety building proposal is approved, the bonds to repair the two properties will be deemed void. Each town-proposed article must pass by a two-thirds vote. The petition article needs a majority vote to pass.
Bows tax rate is in the top 10 percent for New Hampshire. By any objective measure, Bow residents are already overtaxed, said Gould. The project will cost more than $6.8 million. We know that it will be at least $7 million if the proposed method of heating it geothermal is approved. If the geothermal proposal is rejected, presumably there will be another expenditure for some other form of heating. Interest on the bonds will be over $3 million making the capital investment over $10 million. This doesnt include the cost of furnishings and equipment.
Members of the group said they have been told it would be too expensive to renovate the existing fire and police stations because of the new structural standards, which require new buildings to withstand hurricanes and other natural disasters.
The new building would be built to that standard, said Town Manager David Stack.
But the group said other towns have built public safety centers for $3 to 5 million less than Bows proposal, and its a matter of want rather than need, said Gould.
There are far less costly alternatives to a new complex, such as repairing any deficiencies in the existing buildings. Even if the town concludes that a new public safety complex is important enough to bond for, the cost of the proposed Bow facility is two to three times higher than what other similarly sized towns have spent on such projects over the past three or four years, he said.

Bow taxpayers group offers alternative to safety complex
BEDFORD Sheriff Sam Craig Tuesday night solicited members of the Lawrence County Council for advice on which vendor to utilize to install a wheelchair lift at the north entry to the courthouse. The facility is scheduled to receive new windows and an upgraded heating-and-cooling system this year.
Craig explained the low bid was $22,500 but required an initial payment of $11,250. The higher bid was $23,436 but didnt require payment until after work was completed and inspected.

Kitchen Tune-Up earns award
Giant concrete walls, three stories high and 30 feet wide, cut slowly through the air Tuesday morning, hoisted by a giant crane that moved the 204,000-pound slabs as easily as a child lifts the panels of a cardboard clubhouse.
In just under 30 minutes, construction crews guided, positioned and fastened each wall in a speedy process that belied the months of preparation that came before.
By Thursday, the new Sutter Santa Rosa Regional Hospital campus will have its second key facility an 80,000-square-foot medical office building.
A lot goes into this before today, said Jodie Clay, project manager for the construction company Swinerton Builders. There's kind of nothing, nothing, nothing and then all of a sudden you have a building.
The construction process, known as a tilt-up, is common among warehouses and big-box structures such as Wal-Mart, Target and Friedman's Home Improvement. It's not so common for constructing multi-level medical office buildings, said Jim Kobayashi, development manager for Hammes Company, a health care construction developer.
The tilt-up process is more affordable than steel-frame building and shaves one or two months off the construction timeline.
We and a lot of our competitors are going this way to keep construction costs down and keep the rental rates within the market, said Kobayashi.
Unlike prefabricated construction, tilt-up wall sections are poured in place, where casting frames and rebar are laid on a flat surface and, in this case, 10- to 12-inch thick concrete is poured into the frames to form the walls. It takes about seven days for the concrete to cure.
After the walls go up, an interior skeleton of steel columns and beams will be built inside the perimeter of the building. Then floors and a roof will be installed.
So that by May, the interior construction begins and the building will be done by August, Kobayashi said.

New Sutter facility rises in Santa Rosa
The Madras High Court Bench here was flooded with requests on Wednesday to prevent the construction of Anna Universitys regional office buildings here on 83.71 acres of land classified as Kanmoi Poromboke in revenue records.
Lawyers K. Lakshmanan, W. Peter Ramesh Kumar and A. Velan, appearing in three different cases relating to protection of waterbodies, requested Justices R. Sudhakar and V.M. Velumani to stay the proposed construction on S. Kodikulam kanmoi (tank).
They pointed out that on one hand the State government had enacted the Tamil Nadu Protection of Tanks and Eviction of Encroachments Act, 2007, and on the other granted permission for construction of buildings on a waterbody that required to be protected for the progeny.
However, a government counsel pointed out that a Government Order for constructing the building was issued by the Revenue Department way back in August 2010 and that all procedures related to reclassification of the land were followed before granting the permission.
Pointing out that the court could not stay the construction on the basis of newspaper reports submitted by the petitioners, Mr.Justice Sudhakar said the court could interfere in the matter only if a writ petition was filed challenging the G.O.
