National Grid was happy to bring gas service into this LI home. These "New Home Owners" were mortified when they started recieving
costly oil deliveries one after the other. After three months into their first winter, they immediatley made arrangements to bring gas
service into the house.
 
More efficient equipment and systems was the game plan. Gas fired stoves, dryers and boiler would be used to achieve a more
economical monthly operating budget.
 
Due to years of hodge podge renovations and repairs made in the house, the basement was totally stripped of all the plumbing except
the sanitary lines. New "Viega Manabloc" domestic water manifolds were installed and all the hot and cold water lines were replaced with
"Viega FostaPex". The first floor radiators and second floor risers were also repiped individualy back to the boiler room with "FostaPex".
 
The new system consists of a Burnham Alpine boiler and a Triangle Tube Phase III indirect hot water tank. The "DuraVent PolyPro" vent
system was used in the existing chimney to vent the new boiler. Viega radiator manifolds provide an efficient and easy method to balance
the heat throughout the house. Honeywell wireless internet thermostats were also installed to monitor and control the system remotely
via the web.
 
All in all, these homeowners have experienced their first winter season with their new systems in place and can not believe how they
cut their monthly budget by more than half.
 
That alone will keep anybody "warm and cozy".
