If you’re like most people, you only ever think about your water heater when it’s either time to replace it, repair it, or schedule maintenance. But homeowners on a mission to reduce their carbon footprint and make their households greener, and more eco-friendly can start with their water heater.
If you live in a hurricane-prone area, it’s crucial to take the right steps to make your home less vulnerable to the destructive forces of one of these storm systems. Your garage door, for example, is an element of your home that becomes a serious Achilles’ heel in the midst of a hurricane. It’s far more susceptible to wind damage than other areas of your property are.
If you grew up in a region that experienced colder climates, your storm windows likely signaled the changing of seasons. When football weather came to stay in the fall, the storm windows went up. When the flowers made a colorful return in the spring, your storm windows came back down.
A lot of homeowners, especially on the coastline, have asked how to protect your windows during a hurricane. Hurricane season officially begins each year on June 1st and concludes on November 30th. But as the Atlantic Coast has now experienced four straight years with serious storms developing before June, we’re starting to think of hurricane season longer than we ever have before. And with a longer hurricane season, comes more hurricanes... and consequentially, hurricane damage.

Energy Remodeling, a solar company and green home solutions provider, prides itself on quality. The company uses American-made solar panels and offers a 10-year labor warranty to back up its workmanship (compared to the market standard of two years).
"Our panels also have a 25-year linear warranty—that’s about as good as it gets,” says Ed Zumstien, associate vice president of sales. While solar systems are Energy Remodeling’s “bread and butter” the company offers an array of services, from cool roofs, HVAC systems, and windows, to artificial grass and insulation.
