Yup, that was the intent of the post. I will PM irvine realtor for his recommendations, but if other folks have recommendations for plumbers or water heater brands, that would be greatly appreciated. I also appreciate the thoughts and comments re tankless, but my wife will need convincing.

Hi all - I checked the water heater and it looks like it was put in in 1996, making it 19 years in age. It is a Rheem 40 gallon gas water heater. Although it still is in good functioning order, I wonder if it is worthwhile to just have it replaced soon rather than risk a failure. I also tried...

Hi all, We purchased a home last year where the water heater looked to be 10+ years old (I'll need to confirm exactly how old it is). We were hoping that the thing would break down during the one-year warranty period, but we had no such luck. Although the water heater still appears to be in...

@remote access - any update as to when the Bonchon Chicken might open?

Thanks for letting us know about this place. Was in San Diego yesterday for work and stopped by and got the wife a sampling of cookies. She loves it!

We recently used Pro Pacific Bee & Pest Control because we had a wasp nest that had been established by our infant's nursery. For $175, they sprayed the inside and outside (for ants, spiders and some other pests that are listed on their website) and removed the wasp nest, and offered a 30-day...

Agreed! My sister lives in that area and we used to go to 99 Chicken whenever I was in town for a visit. Now, we go back and forth between 99 Chicken and Bonchon.

Awesome. Looking forward to reliving my childhood!

Are you talking about Bonchon Chicken in the Souplantation/Boudin's plaza? Is there an ETA for the opening? My wife and I saw this a few months ago but haven't seen or heard anything further. We've been to the Bonchon in Sunnyvale and have been eagerly awaiting the opening of this location.

Thanks - I actually had not considered the situation of falling solar energy prices; rather, I had only thought about it in terms of rising electricity prices.

According to the Solar City rep I spoke with, any usage above what the solar system produces would be charged at Edison's regular rates, but would follow the tier 1/2/3/4 structure, meaning that if my excess usage fell within the tier 1 allotment, I would only be charged tier 1 prices.

Thanks - I had read that article as well. However, what I meant was this: If you could lock in your energy rates at $0.15/kwh, w/ 2.9% increases for the next 20 years, with no money out of pocket, why wouldn't every homeowner jump on this?

So why wouldn't more people not do the PPA if you're basically locking in your energy rates (and the annual increases)? With the PPA, it seems as if you're eliminating the question of "how long does it take me to recoup the cost of the solar system?" when compared to a lease or an outright purchase.

Sorry for reviving such an old thread, but after the last 3 months of energy usage, I decided to call Solar City if their programs were any different from Sungevity. Something that Solar City offered, which Sungevity did not, was something called a PPA - I pay nothing for install, maintenance...

I opened up a 529 through the Utah Educational Savings Plan (www.UESP.com). I found that their fees were the lowest, and their name consistently popped up when researching recommended 529's.

Hard to say at this point. The attic fan was installed on 8/26, so we'll see what our next electricity bill is like.

Had the attic fan put in last week - we had the gable-mount kind, which did not require a roofer or contractor to create an opening on the roof. However, since our attic only had one gable vent, our contractor created a second opening (across from the existing gable vent) to create a second...

We just used Connected a few weeks ago due to a plugged condensate line, among other things. Spoke to Duane in the morning, and Jerry was at our house later that afternoon. He took care of the plugged line, performed maintenance on our 15+ year old A/C unit, and adjusted the registers throughout...

@gaogi, Just an update for everyone - I am having a contractor put in both the attic fan (the 2500 CFM one found here:http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001V5J1XA/ref=twister_B0054SCFJC)and a whole house fan (this one...
