Comment on Radon causing est 20,000 deaths per year by Nomanobanderas

Good question, and a coommn misunderstood item with Radon systems. With a Radon system the vent needs to be above the lowest roof line or the discharge needs to be above the lowest eave, not the highest peak. Each system in our pictures meet this requirement. With gable end installs you can be above the roof line without having to run the pipe all the way up the side of the home where the system is. Doing this would serve no purpose. You can draw an imaginary line from the roof line in front or back, and around the house to be above the roof line. You still have to be a minimum of 10 above grade and 2 above openings or 10 from them. If the vent pipe will be very close to the soffit vent then you will want to extend the pipe past the facia to make sure you are not blowing moist air and Radon directly into the attic. Some states are regulated, ours (WI) is not. For instance in IL you do have to be above the highest peak. In regulated states their laws superseed the EPA’s guidlines. It would be nice if the EPA would regulate this nationaly. That way everyone could be assured they are having their system installed properly.

It’s good to see this group reaching out to the pulbic with a presentation. Based on what I have seen on this blog, and the CIMA website, there is quite a bit of good factual information for consumers. Hope many groups take you up on the offer to learn more about the value of insulation to saving energy and the environment.

Comment on Our Home Energy Audit by Anima

Sadly, you cannot get a tax ciedrt but the energy star brand does have quite a number of connection to things you CAN get federal tax ciedrts for.IMPORTANT note: Be careful to read IRS regulations last year, I was reading that regardless of how many different things you buy that qualify the tax code limited deductions for $500 altogether on a number of improvements. So even if you purchased 10 different home improvements that cost thousands and resulted in tons of ciedrts you’d still be limited to a maximum of $500 ciedrt. See the 2nd link below for proof of the limit:
