How To Switch Suppliers Without Triggering An Exit Fee

Posted on 11 , October 2016 in Energy Efficiency author:

UK residents have many choices when it comes to energy suppliers, but that doesnt mean that switching is always easy. Even when a new deal crops up that is better than another, a customer has to worry about exit fees. These can include fees also called cancellation and termination fees. These fees are assessed whenever a buyer tries to opt out of a previous energy contract before the actual period of service is over. They can range from as little as 5 to up to 50 per fuel type. Due to the simplification of the UK tariff structure, you may find yourself suddenly signed up to a more expensive tariff once your old tariff is no longer available. This automatic enrolment can also oblige you to pay an exit fee if you want to switch after the period for enrolment is over. Its the wise consumer that keeps an eye out for fees and asks about them before switching, even when the switch was not of their own doing.

Fixed rate plans

Fixed rate agreements usually carry early termination fees, and they tend to be more expensive than other plans. This can make it difficult to switch from one type of plan to another, as the fee will offset any savings in cost. Even if you have a change of heart in the middle of the winter season, you might find youre stuck with your deal, unless the utility will allow you to switch without a fee. If you have a fixed tariff, you will need to see what types of fees are associated with terminating the account before you actually decide to make that decision. You may find that you can still switch, even if it costs you, or that the company will waive the fee as long as you remain with them and not some other utility. The costs to terminate a fixed rate plan also depend on how far along you are in it.

Sometimes, you get lucky

If your energy supplier has to change the tariff rate, they must give you 30 days to decide whether you want to keep the tariff or not. If you choose not to keep it during this time, no termination fees apply. The reason for this is that the company has changed the terms of the contract making the previous contract null and void. Thus, the termination fees associated with the contract also do not apply. However, this is a special case and isnt bound to happen much. It might happen with a fixed rate if the supplier thinks theyre going to lose money by selling you their gas at a lesser price than the market can withstand. However, most fixed tariffs have excess leeway built into the price structure, so this might not ever happen to any of your tariffs. Instead, you might have to wait for the contract to be officially over.

Another option for switching

If you simply wait for the contract period to be over, you will also be given 30 days to make a switch without termination fees. Of course, by that time the heating season will be over and you probably wont know what next winter will be like either. The time period is limited and if you miss notifying your supplier of how you want to switch, you can lose the opportunity to do so without incurring an exit fee. Keep an eye on your contract terms to determine when you can switch without penalty.

When your previous tariff is dropped

You will also get the opportunity to switch when your previous tariff is dropped and becomes unavailable. Companies that are simplifying their fee structures will send out a letter advising you that you need to change your tariff or they will do it for you. Some will put you on their standard plan and others will pick a more expensive plan. Whatever it happens to be, it will also come with termination fees. If you want to be in control of switching, you have got to abide by the time limit set for making those choices. Otherwise, once the other tariff is in place (whether you agreed to it or not), you wont be able to make another switch without triggering exit fees.

Choosing An Energy Star Home

Posted on 10 , October 2016 in Energy Efficiency author:

When you make the decision to build a new home, you want a builder who will provide the highest quality at an affordable price. Many Knoxville home builders can offer competitive prices but when you are investing in a new home, you want the best. Home ownership is a great investment, but it can also cost a lot of money over the years. You can save in future ownership costs if you choose a builder who can build an Energy Star qualified home.

What Is Energy Star?
Energy Star is an international, governmental standard for energy efficiency in consumer products. When you own an Energy Star home, you have a home that performs better than most homes in America. Your cost of upkeep and ownership is reduced, and your home will last longer without the need for repairs.

What Makes a Home Energy Star Qualified?
Energy Star homes have higher standards for insulation and water management. In an Energy Star home the walls, floors, and ceilings are all tightly sealed and properly insulated to reduce drafts and leaks. Proper insulation not only provides lower energy costs, but also better air quality. Energy Star homes will have protection from more pollen and dust then regular homes.
Energy Star homes also must have efficient water management systems. There must be a way to direct water off of the roof and away from the foundation. This keeps your roof in better condition for longer, and protects the foundation from water damage.

If you are building a new home, your quality of life and cost of ownership will be improved if you invest in and Energy Star home. Many Knoxville home builders can build you a decent home, but if you want the best, find a builder who can give you an Energy Star qualified home.

Nashville’s Best Vinyl Replacement Windows. Energy Efficiency

Posted on 9 , October 2016 in Energy Efficiency author:

A new national survey notes an interesting return to aesthetics being more important than energy efficiency in the consumers decision making process with regards to vinyl replacement windows. I believe there are two reasons for the shift. First, there may be some level of expectation that most products provide enhanced levels of energy efficiency because of the governments stimulus tax credit. Many manufacturers, because of the stringency of the requirements, scampered to find products that qualified. The other reason for the change is that the higher end consumer, who previously considered vinyl a lesser quality product and would only look at high cost wood and clad windows, now, because of the economic realities, are ready to look at vinyl as a lower cost, more energy efficient, alternative. Aesthetics have always been a driving force in that customers decision-making process.

Vinyl windows have been around for over thirty years, realizing more and more acceptance from consumers for various reasons. Many focus group studies have been undertaken by various manufacturers and one of the most interesting things that has been learned is that the one main thing that consumers that have otherwise loved their vinyl windows didnt like was the fact that they had to give up glass viewing area. Unfortunately, most manufacturers dont talk about that issue with the customer because of structural decisions that have required their vinyl extrusions to be big and boxy, leaving the customer to notice it only AFTER their windows are installed and too late to make a change. One of the reasons that so many products have big, bulky extrusions has to do with the increased necessity of energy efficient mainframes to meet Energy Star guidelines. Some manufacturers have made the investment in products that, in essence, allow you to have your cake and eat it too.
One of the interesting things about vinyl is that it shares a couple of properties of steel. One of the properties is that every 90 bend in vinyl increases its structural integrity. Many of the bulky, boxy mainframes available use many 90 bends for structural strength, but this increases the overall bulk of the product. The aesthetics conscious consumer is looking for a product that combines looks structure and energy efficiency.

One rarely discussed difference in products is the variations in the white color. Most customers that have white trim have painters white. Many manufacturers, including some that have some of the lowest advertised prices, still use the original white vinyl color, which has a blue or black tint to it. Again, this typically is not discussed at the time of purchase and is only discovered after the products are installed, too late to make a change. Make sure the home improvement consultant matches their white to your white.

Benefits Of A Built-in Refrigerator

Posted on 7 , October 2016 in Energy Efficiency author:

More frequently referred to as a fridge, the refrigerator has become one of the most common kitchen appliances and is found in nearly all homes across America. Often coming as a two-part package fridge and freezer we all know the functionality of the fridge in general, but what should you look for when scouring the market for refrigerators?

Ultimately, it depends what you need from your fridge and the space which you are looking to fit it into. Size and capacity are often the most prominent concerns. Refrigerators have been used for many years and have two main purposes: cooling and freezing perishable foods and meat products. There are various features of the different refrigerators and they can be used for quality over quantity or quantity over quality.

Benefits of a built-in refrigerator

The most obvious advantage of buying a built-in refrigerator is that it can come as a custom fit so that it is perfect to match your kitchen interior. Conveniently fitting in with the rest of your kitchen appliances, its simply covered by a door with just the temperature detector in view. This makes it blend into the background whilst also ensuring that you can control it easily.

Streamlined kitchens are aesthetically pleasing to everybodys eye, and built-in refrigerators can be configured to suit all needs and tastes. Alongside this, they tend to have a shallow depth which means that putting your hands on those hidden items is much simpler. In some cases as well, you will see an increase in energy efficiency alongside a good kitchen friend.

However, it isnt, as with everything in life, all butterflies and rainbows though. The advantages of owning a built-in refrigerator can, at times, be offset by the disadvantages namely the price and size. They tend to cost more than their opponents, like the free-standing refrigerator, and often have a capacity which is only half the actual size.

With a smaller capacity inside, a built-in refrigerator can be unpractical for families and you need to keep in mind how much space you will need before setting off to purchase any product. Where price is concerned, as it is widely considered as a luxury item, you will pay a premium price. It all depends on whether quality over quantity or quantity over quality is the name of your game.

The stainless steel design and integrated models on offer with built-in refrigerators, alongside their flexibility allows you to make a good, flexible purchase when checking the market for this style of refrigeration.

Why Use Infrared Tube Heaters to Heat Your Shop or Barn

Posted on 6 , October 2016 in Energy Efficiency author:

A common problem with heating most shops, barns or similar buildings is that many are poorly insulated and/or have a very high air turnover ratio due to high ceilings, large overhead doors and generally drafty conditions. The solution? gas infrared tube heaters.

Why infrared? What is infrared?

Infrared is just another term for radiant. Think of a stove, fireplace, oven or even our own sun. These sources all emit infrared (radiant) heat energy at the speed of light in a straight line. Upon striking objects (floors, people, machinery, animals, etc.) that energy converts to heat and warms the surrounding air. Think of the sun. The sun does not heat the air, the sun heats the earths surface and earths surface heats the air.

In a shop, barn or other wide-open interior space, infrared heaters are designed to produce safe, comfortable radiant heat to floors and objects in order to heat the surrounding air. Generally, infrared heaters are directed downward from the ceiling toward a target area below. For instance, in a horse barn infrared heaters can be directed toward a wash and grooming area or down a common walkway, between horse stalls or even in riding arenas. In an auto repair shop, heaters can be located over or near workbenches or between overhead doors.

What kind of infrared heaters are best suited for shop and barn environments?

We recommend gas infrared tube heaters. Youll find a lot of information on the internet to help you learn what infrared can do for you. To find the best brands, type into your browser “best tube heaters” or “superior tube heaters”. This should take you to a number of manufacturers sites where you can read about the products they offer and learn why gas infrared tube heaters are usually the best for heating farm buildings, shops, manufacturing facilities, aircraft hangars and other large open structures.

Why infrared tube heaters?

A few good reasons:
1. Infrared tube heaters emit soft, comfortable radiant heat energy without moving any air with no drafts. No blowing air can help prevent respiratory illnesses in both humans and animals.
2. General creature comfort is improved. Infrared heats the ground. Warm floors means warm bodies and feet.
3. Infrared, like light, can be directed at a target. For barns, this can mean the horse wash area, dry off areas, stalls, aisle ways, or wherever the need for heat is greatest. For shops, this can mean work areas and assembly lines.
4. Energy savings and efficiency. Infrared heaters can be strategically mounted to throw radiant energy where it is needed, rather than to empty spaces. This tactical approach to heating space can save a boatload of money in operational costs versus forced-air heating methods.
5. Infrared tube heaters are completely self contained. By drawing outside air into the burner at one end and venting products of combustion out the opposite end to the outside, the flame inside the heater is completely isolated from dusty and contaminated indoor air. This prolongs life of the heater.
6. Infrared feels natural. Just like standing in the sunshine, the soft heat energy creates a healthier and happier environment for people and animals.

What exactly is a tube heater?

A tube heater consists of a burner box, which includes control components much a gas valve, circuit board, safety switch, etc.) Extending horizontally from the burner is a long 4″ diameter 16 gauge steel tube, anywhere from 10 to 70 feet in length. Positioned above is an aluminum parabolic reflector running over the length of the tube. When the burner comes on, a long flame shoots down the tube until it gets hot. The reflector ensures that heat energy that bounces out from the top portions of the tubing gets reflected downward to the floor area. The goal is to get all of that energy focussed downward.

A simple web search of infrared tube heaters will give you a good overview of the different tube heater brands and what they offer. Hint: not all brands are the same. For instance, one manufacturer has a 99.9% efficient reflector configuration the best in the industry. Others range anywhere from 65% efficient (effective) to 95%. A superior reflector design can mean better heating efficiency and lower operating costs.

If youre searching for a tube heating system, do a thorough online search first. Not all are alike. Some are simply better than others. As stated above, Google “superior tube heaters” or “best tube heaters”. Look for the best warranty, best construction quality, best reflective efficiency, and best serviceability among all brands. Then, buy only from a company with a solid reputation in the infrared industry, a company capable of giving you the type of support that will merit your business. You should get a good price, of course, but make sure that whoever you buy from will be on hand to fulfill, guarantee and offer support to you down the road. We dont recommend buying from large catalogue houses that sell thousands of unrelated items. They tend to be “order takers” only and youll find it nearly impossible to get design/application assistance or future service.

Plastic Pallets

Posted on 4 , October 2016 in Energy Efficiency author:

Plastic Pallets
What are plastic pallets?
Plastic pallets are plates which are used for loading and unloading. It facilitates cargo handling, transport, storage and distribution. A plastic pallet consists of load surface which can carry a certain number of cargo and sockets designed for forklift. Plastic pallet is the most obscure logistics apparatus but it exists everywhere and it is the primary means to change cargo from static to dynamic. Although maybe the size of plastic pallets is only one square meter, but it can move the Earth. So the plastic pallet is also called the active ground, mobile dock.

The development of plastic pallets:
In recent years, logistics industry has developed rapidly with an annual growth rate of more than 15%. Experts predict that, in the coming years, the logistic market will maintain an average annual rate of 20%, the amount of plastic pallets will exceed 20 million. high efficiency, energy saving, environmental protection, low cost is the main characteristics of logistic industry in the future. This is a development opportunity but also a great challenge for plastic pallets manufactures.
Why plastic pallets industry develops so rapidly?
The development of plastic pallets benefits from several factors. First of all, the plastic pallets have superior performance. Then, for a long time, the pallet in logistic industry is made of wood. However, with increasing environmental pressure, railway transport issues a regulation of disabling wooden pallets. Europe, America, Japan and other countries proposed near-stringent fumigation and quarantine requirements on the import of wood packaging (including wooden pallets). In addition, the processing equipments of plastic pallets have high degree of automation and large output. With the improvement of plastic mechanical properties and the decrease of raw materials cost, the cost of plastic pallets is no longer the bottleneck which restricted the use. One side is the development of the logistic industry drives the increase of the plastic pallets demand, the other side is the main force wooden pallets tend to failure, all these indicates that plastic pallets are facing enormous opportunities.
What are the advantages of plastic pallets when compared with wooden pallets and steel pallets?

Durability: the life of plastic pallets is about 10 times longer than wooden pallets.
Reliability: the reliability of the structure of plastic pallets significantly reduces the damage consumption of plastic pallets, as well as the cargo damage caused by the broken pallets. Plastic pallets are lighter than the wooden pallets in the same size, it reduce the weight and cost of transport.
Health: plastic pallets can be washed and reused.
Global trends: plastic pallets are free of fumigation and quarantine, can be export to Europe and other countries directly. European Community requires all food, beverage and medicine transport must use plastic pallets.
Specific: plastic pallets are more and more popular in some special commodity market, such as: food, beverage, pharmaceutical industry. And according to the requirements of different plants, plastic pallets can be made of a variety of colors, coupled with the appropriate company logo and mark. It makes 5S management easy for enterprises.
Insurance: due to detrimental resistance of plastic pallets, a corresponding reduction in workers compensation claims, and the reduce use of wood in factory is equal to the reduction of fire insurance premiums.
Residual value: the used plastic pallets can be sold at 30% of the original price, because plastic pallets can be sold back to manufacturers or other entities in order to reuse.
Environmental protection: plastic pallets are environmental friendly products, because they can all be recycled and reuse, greatly reducing the waste and disposal cost.
Protection of forests: the use of plastic pallets can prevent hundreds of thousands of acres of forest loss each year.

Types of plastic pallets:
Plastic pallets have two types: single sided type and double sided type. Double sided type can be divided into monolithic and assembled. At present, plastic pallets are mostly made by injection moulding, followed by the extrusion-hollow blow moulding. Extrusion products are not too much, vacuum forming is rarely used. SINO MOULD is one of the leading Pallet mould companies in China, who has been widely recognized as the professional Pallet mould company.

Free Energy – Fake Or Real

Posted on 3 , October 2016 in Energy Efficiency author:

First of all, let’s define what free energy means. It means that the cost of creating energy is much less than produced energy. There are some obvious examples of free energy such as solar and wind energies, and not so obvious ones such as radiant energy and centrifugal force.

Some of those energy generating powers seem to be against all, or at least some, laws of science. Some of them are borderline with an ill-reputed “Perpetuum Mobile”. However, if you think about some major inventions of the past (such as airplane, diesel engine, and nuclear bomb) you will see that at the time those inventions were against scientific knowledge of the moment as well.

Let’s look at some possibilities in free energy which may not be as obvious as solar or wind.

– Ambient heat.
The idea of getting electrical or mechanical energy from the heat is not new. In 1900 Nicolas Tesla invented an engine which used heat from the air to produce mechanical energy and called it “Self-acting engine”. 60 years later, an air turbine was created which ran on the hot air going through it. In the same year Charles Brown was granted an US patent for his heat-to-electricity converter.

– Hydrogen.
Hydrogen is a part of water molecule (H2O) and as a result is highly available. With electrolysis hydrogen can be extracted from water and used as a fuel since when it is burned, it recombines with the oxygen and forms vapor. There are quite a few processes which allow separating hydrogen with little initial use of electricity making it a very efficient fuel for the future.

– Magnetism.
One of the most mysterious and abundant sources of energy, magnetism has attracted attention of humans since the ancient times. Sun and Earth both have their magnetic fields and this energy can be used for human consumption as free energy. Since 19th century discoveries in the field of magnetism (artificial magnetic field by Henry, magnetic induction by Faraday) reshaped our current reality with use of radio, television, computers, etc.

However, more applications for magnetism are yet to come. In the past 50 years inventions were made which seem to challenge the laws of physics known to us at the time. For example, inventors of a Zero point magnetic generator claim that their generator can produce free energy in the amounts larger than needed for the device to run. It means that Zero point magnetic generator is actually a perpetual generator, or a “Perpetuum Mobile” which was long ago dreamed off by inquisitive minds of the humankind.

Home Weatherizing – 9 Techniques To Maximize the Energy Efficiency of Your Windows

Posted on 30 , September 2016 in Energy Efficiency author:

Most home weatherizing projects involve windows because they are largely responsible for the loss of home thermal energy. What makes windows energy-efficient is their ability to block air movement, creating dead air space between the inside and outside glass panes.

Most windows today come with double or triple-pane insulated glass. Basically, insulated glass is two or three pieces of glass separated by a spacer bar and sealed on all four sides to create a dead air space between the panes.

You can easily make single-pane, older windows more energy-efficient by creating dead air spaces using window weather-stripping materials, a good storm window and plastic sheeting to block air movement.

To minimize condensation and frost from forming between the house window and the storm window, keep warm, moist air on the interior side by applying weather-stripping to the inside gaps.

Here are 9 Home Weatherizing Techniques to maximize the efficiency of your windows:
Apply clear silicone caulk around the interior window casing. To further reduce home heat energy loss, lock the window and use clear, peel-off caulk which is easily removed, to fill the gaps around the interior edges of the sash.

Add plastic window sheeting to the inside of the window to block drafts and keep surfaces free from moisture. This home weatherizing tip often involves using a hair dryer to remove wrinkles and tighten the plastic, making it almost invisible.

Install exterior plastic sheeting on the outside of the window. The manufacturers of this product usually include tacking or stapling strips to complete the installation.

For sliding windows, use self-adhesive compressible foam in place of metal tension strips in the sash track that fits against the rim of the sash when the window closes.

For casement windows, attach rubber compression strips or self-adhesive compressible foam along the outside rims of the window stops.

For storm windows, attach foam compression strips to the outside window stops to create an air tight seal.

For a newly installed storm window, use caulk backer rope to fill gaps between the exterior trim and the storm window.

Drill one or two small holes in the bottom rail of the storm window to allow moist air to escape if during cold weather condensation and frost buildup is present on the inside of the storm window.

Cover window wells with preformed window-well covers to stop home thermal energy loss through basement windows. Most window well covers have an upper flange designed to slip under siding. Fasten them to foundation walls with masonry anchors, and weight down the bottom flange with stones. Caulk around edges for extra protection.By using the proper window weather-stripping material, you can increase the energy efficiency of your windows by 100 percent or more. Taking the necessary steps to save your home thermal energy by implementing these home weatherizing techniques can only result in a lower energy bill.

Metal roofs the new frontiers for the energy efficiency of houses

Posted on 29 , September 2016 in Energy Efficiency author:

The metal roofing for large buildings that are an ideal solution for both efficiency and maintenance, since they are very resistant and can also enhance the buildings from the aesthetic point of view.

A tangible example of their application has had last December with the inauguration of the Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, the largest spatial structure in the world that is entirely covered by a metallic coating, efficient and aesthetically impressive. Even at the planning and engineering for the construction of the metal roof of the building has required great efforts but we must admit that the performance and end are short of initial expectations.

This is just one example of large-scale applications with high performance that can be obtained by roofing made of various metals, but the fact remains that the principles apply equally to smaller buildings that still need maintenance, but above all high efficiency.
The benefits that can be found in metal roofing are multiple and relate both to the scope of the environmental efficiency of the building by implementing both areas and amortizing the initial investment in no time.

First, it must be emphasized that the metal roof is an investment in real time since it requires no maintenance and does not deform over time, a feature that does not go to affect the ability to modify and relocate the structure. A privilege not just when you think how influential they are in the business budget costs for the maintenance of the structure and its efficient maintenance. The materials are of high quality despite also have a high cost as other types of coverage and thus the maintenance and the change in cost of raw materials and totally accessible. Also in front regarding the benefits of this coverage must be remembered that these are immune from the deterioration that instead affects roofs made of different material such as mold, bacteria, decomposition, and if placed properly sealed and allow a greater resistance to weather very well aggressive as wind, hail and ice, and their design allows you to easily throw them out or snow accumulations of leaves and other materials. Many others are also the absolute advantage as compared to crack and leak tightness and perfect seclusion from the outside.

Moving on, however, their application must be stressed that, thanks to the evolution that these covers have had over time, and thanks to the efforts of designers and architects who have tested it with hand applications and possible variants allowing to develop products that can be applied not only to industrial buildings and corporate offices (so far privileged places for the application of these types of coverage) but also to private homes that go well with contemporary lines and take energy efficiency and autonomy, unique and advanced to the ecological level. E ‘to stress that this type of coverage also allows for easy application of photovoltaic panels and other installations for the production of renewable energy, making it even easier to install these plants in a certain period after completion of the house.
