A new energy-saving program aimed at improving the energy efficiency of Lorain County homes has recently been launched by Columbia Gas and Raymond Plumbing is here to help you take full advantage of the program. The program will take advantage of multiple rebates and federal tax credits now being offered for energy-efficient home improvements. Many of these money-saving rebates expire at the end of the year, so Lorain County residents are urged to sign up for the Home Performance Solutions program fast.
The Home Performance Solutions program begins with an energy audit to identify where your home is wasting energy – and your hard-earned money – and target improvement areas. Lorain County homeowners will receive a detailed energy use report that specifies energy-saving tips along with estimated energy savings and applicable rebates for implementing recommended energy-efficient home improvements. Owners of gas-heated homes who use 1,000 Ccf of natural gas or more per year will profit most from this program.
For a limited time, Columbia Gas is offering Lorain County residents a complete home energy audit for just $50, a fraction of its $500 value. Generous energy efficient home improvement rebates and tax credits available through December 31, 2010, can save Lorain County homeowners as much as 70% off the cost of installing recommended home improvements.
But the savings don’t stop there. Installation of energy-efficient gas furnaces and other home improvements can reduce your natural gas use by as much as 30%, a savings you will continue to enjoy year after year. Now is the time to take advantage of multiple money-saving offers to cut your energy use and your gas bill. Contact Raymond Plumbing today for more information.

Allergies and Asthma Continue to Increase in the U.S.
The trees are starting to bud and flowers are beginning to bloom. Spring is in the air and Lorain County allergy sufferers know that pollen is not far behind. The number of people in the U.S. who suffer from allergies has risen 25% in the past four years, affecting an estimated 60 million Americans. One in four Lorain County residents is apt to have at least one allergy, according to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology. The incidence of asthma in the U.S. has tripled over the past 25 years and now affects more than 22 million Americans.
Researchers say climate change is partly responsible for the dramatic increase in the number of allergy sufferers. Global warming has extended pollen-based allergy seasons in the U.S., though scientists believe that other as yet undiscovered factors may play a role in increased allergy suffering.
“Allergies and asthma seem to be increasing everywhere, and we don’t know why that is,” David Rosenstreich, director of allergy and immunology at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, NY, told USA Today in a March 15, 2010 online article. Rosenstreich said a variety of factors seem to be creating a “perfect storm of allergy and asthma.”
Add a Air Cleaner to your Cooling System and Breathe Easy
For now, it appears that the best offense against allergies in Lorain County is a good defense. Adding a Carrier air cleaner to your heating and cooling system can improve indoor air quality throughout your entire house. Carrier’s Infinity Air Purifier gets top ratings in providing healthier air and cleaner air. MERV 15 efficiency captures and kills airborne allergens and germs allowing you and your family to breathe easy, whether you have allergies or not.
If you want to breathe comfortably all summer long, ask your air conditioning professional to install a Carrier air cleaner on your system while he’s there for your annual air conditioner performance check.
