Harvard Yale

Randy DeLaMare: Real Estate Agent in Taylorsville, UT

Harvard Yale is a great neighborhood in Salt Lake City, Utah. Beautiful tree lined streets, most of the trees are huge. There are beautiful homes throughout the ares. Several streams and canyons run through the area and add to the diversity and pleasures of the area. Many homes back the canyons created by Red Butte creek, and Emigration creek. Many of the roads wind their way through the neighborhoods and the area's between 1100 East and 1500 East have rather steep inclines. I remember as a child the men on the street closed off the street I lived on to allow us kids the opportunity to sled most of the day right down the street. Most of the homes in the area were built in the early 1900's and most have undergone extensive restorations, remodelings, and expansions.

Tips for Heating Your Existing Home / Not for Hawaii !

  1. Obtain an "energy audit" or "home energy performance rating", and use the information to upgrade the most cost-effective energy problems at your home. Many utility companies, heating and air-conditioning firms, and consultants offer such services. Home energy ratings can now be used to get mortgage-backed loans to make improvements, in many areas.
  2. Install set-back digital thermostat on your heating system or heat pump. Every degree of set "back" for heating may save up to 8% on central heating energy usage. These devices can also "turn off" mechanical systems when you are not home. (Be sure to select the appropriate model; professional installation may be recommended.)
  3. Get your furnace or heat-pump serviced professionally, and the air-filters should be changed frequently for best circulation. You may also wish to close registers in un-used rooms.
  4. Check and upgrade your attic insulation to thicknesses appropriate for your climate. In most areas of the US, the Department of Energy recommends either R-30 or R-38 attic insulation be installed.
  5. Install ceiling fans in your most frequently occupied rooms, such as family rooms and bedrooms. These fans can make 65 degrees seem like 70 degrees, in Winter by evening out room temperature layers.
  6. When outdoor conditions are mild -- usually above 65 degrees F, open windows in all rooms of the home for natural ventilation.
  7. Choose energy-efficient windows for replacements, that are rated by the "NFRC," or have and equivalent energy performance warrantee from the manufacturer or builder. (NFRC - "National Fenestration Rating Council")
  8. Close windows and doors during the coldest parts of the day, and when outdoor conditions are windy.
  9. Open draperies and window shades on sunny winter days, particularly on South, East and Western facing windows.
  10. Plant drought tolerant shade trees around your home, but remember to provide good Winter-time "solar" access to south-facing windows.
