Recommendation - CCI Sound Home Plan
by around theworld 13 Feb '23

13 Feb '23

Spreading the word about a great resource, Conservation Consultants, Inc. (CCI). I’m a new homeowner in Highland Park and a neighbor recommended this fantastic local non-profit that conducts energy assessments on homes and small businesses. My original goal was to have them identify how to address some drafty areas, and I was so surprised at how comprehensive the assessment was. All rooms were professionally measured and all major appliances were assessed…and thank goodness, because they identified a very dangerous clog with my hot water heater that was starting to back carbon monoxide into my home. It was not yet at emergency levels, but it was not picked up during my pre-sale home inspection. They did lead testing, used infrared cameras to check on insulation density and used a blower door test to suck the air out of the home to identify where the drafty areas were. The cost was very reasonable and I have a fantastic report, complete with photos that identified areas to address immediately and what can wait, and projections about how much I could save on my energy bills if I made the improvements. Some I could do myself, such as updating the door sweep and putting some caulk around the entry door. They also have a list of bonded professionals and they are great at helping you to put together an action plan. Wonderful resource for all of us with old homes. All of the contractors are great…Virginia McGrath was mine and she is fantastic…I’ve emailed and called her since my assessment to ask her opinion about a couple of items. House is already warmer…consider them https://getenergysmarter.org/sound-home-plan

Books for people in Allegheny County Jail
by Erin Marie Williams 02 Dec '20

02 Dec '20

Hello neighbors, Allegheny County Jail has decided, reportedly for the sake of safety, to stop receiving book donations as of December 28th (you can read about it here: https://www.publicsource.org/allegheny-county-jail-book-restricted-inmate-m… ). Instead they will provide people held there with a tablet holding only about 200 books, and to which people will have access for 90 minutes/day. This is being fought by various organizations. But planning for the worst, we can help ease this troubled situation by donating books up until the deadline. If you would like to donate, but don’t have the means to travel to a donation location, please drop your donations off at our house and we will take them for you. I’ve attached a flyer with specifics on what they are looking for. We live at 5901 Hampton St, corner of Euclid and Highland. Please leave your donations on the back porch, which is more protected from the rain than the front. Thank you for helping others in our community!
