Are you east or west of the Cascades? Western Washington needs about 1 square foot per 300 square foot (50% high and 50% low) and Eastern Washington can get by with less. The inspector at your...

I have a large (50-60 foot) birch tree on the southeast corner of my lot. It origionally had three trunks. I cut off the smallest (10" in diameter) last year as it grew out horizontally from the...

I recently became the 5th owner of a 1902 Victorian on a third of an acre. Keeping up with the house is chore enough, but the lawn and trees are getting to be a killer! My wife has planted a couple...

I installed a Goodman GMV95 two speed gas furnace with ECM fan motor last fall. It functioned perfectly last winter, cutting my natural gas bill almost in half. When I installed the unit, I set it...

I have to agree with ACETC - switching to an electric resistance furnace is generally not a good idea. Heat pump coil on top of a gas furnace (dual fuel) can be the most economical to operate in...
