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

We need your help . . .
by Todd Elliott Koger 31 Jan '22

A "new" state representative will be elected on April 5, 2022, to serve the remaining 8-months of Mayor Ed Gainey's term in Harrisburg. Because it's a "special election" it is possible only one name will be listed on the ballot (the candidate "hand-picked" by the local political establishment). 599 signatures from District #24 registered voters will allow Todd Elliott Koger's name on the ballot as a candidate "not affiliated" with a political party. All registered Democrats, Republicans and Independents of District #24 can sign. Attached please find a "nomination paper" for Todd Elliott Koger. It is a two-sided document and must be printed as such. Please return it before February 10, 2022. For more information, please visit: BLACK PITTSBURGH'S NEWSPAPER (SOCIAL MEDIA PUBLICATION) | Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/groups/blackpittsburghnewspaper> Thank you. KOGERFRIEND
