Property AssessmentsHow is your property assessed?Residential properties are assessed as of July 1st of the previous year. The assessment should reflect what would have been a reasonable selling price at July 1st and then include any physical changes to your property (additions, renovations, demolitions, etc.) as at December 31st of that year. Commercial properties are assessed in a slightly different manner. The Province has changed the process for these assessments, and they are now based on lease-rate studies and income studies of comparative properties. For more detailed information about your assessment, you can:
Notice of Mailing: Assessment NoticesPursuant to Section 311(1) of the Municipal Government Act 2000, R.S.A., Chapter M-26 as amended, the Assessment Notices for the Town of Black Diamond were mailed on or about March 28, 2014 to all assessed property owners. Town of Black Diamond property owners are deemed to have received their Assessment Notices as a result of the publication of this notice. PLEASE REMEMBER: REMINDERS: Assessment complaints must be made in writing, and received by the Clerk of the Assessment Review Board on or before May 26, 2014.
If you have any questions regarding the information shown on your Assessment Notice, please call the Town Office at (403) 933-4348. It is possible that questions of a general nature can be answered directly by the Administrative Staff. If they are unable to answer your questions, they will notify the Assessor and he will get in touch with you to discuss your concerns with you directly. The Assessor will make every reasonable attempt to respond to your concerns and resolve any issues to a state of mutual agreement. If you feel that the matter requires further discussion, you can meet with him in person, by appointment only, on Wednesday, April 30, 2014. Please call the Town Office to schedule your appointment.

The University of Wisconsin–Madison Wisconsin School of Business seeks to equip candidates with the broad business background, major specialization, and analytical skills necessary to make sound management decisions. To gain expertise in these areas, the curriculum combines traditional lecture-style delivery with case analysis, project work, team interaction, and hands-on/practical experience in the business community.
As a result, graduates of the Wisconsin School of Business possess highly sought after technical/specialized expertise in a functional area of business as well as general leadership, problem-solving, analytical, and decision-making skills. Utilizing these skills, many of the school's 30,000 alumni have achieved remarkable success in business, government, service, and academic arenas worldwide.
The high scholarly productivity and leadership of the school's 74 faculty are regularly noted in national rankings. Recent studies of U.S. and worldwide scholarly research productivity rated UW–Madison Wisconsin School of Business faculty among the top 20 graduate business schools in the country. In addition to world-renowned recognition for research, the Wisconsin School of Business faculty bring a variety of real-world experience to the program.
At the graduate level, Wisconsin School of Business students select their degree program from the five that are available along with a variety of majors and options. Each program permits the student, with the assistance and direction of a major advisor, to tailor a program based on interests and career goals. The time needed to complete each degree program is different based on undergraduate preparation (and graduate preparation at the doctorate level) and the program selected.
The following majors and options officially exist at the master's level. Not all plans are available for admission each semester. (see below for explanation of currently offered specializations.)
The MBA is a professional degree for the student preparing for a career in the business world. The cross-functional/interdisciplinary program exposes the student to each of the functional areas of business combined with a specialization in a specific area of business. Areas of specialization include corporate finance and investment banking, applied security analysis, arts administration, brand and product management, general management, marketing research, operations and technology management, real estate and urban land economics, risk management and insurance, strategic human resource management, and supply chain management.
The M.S. degree is currently designed for students who wish to pursue very specialized studies within one of two specific fields: global real estate and finance (with a specialization in quantitative finance). With previous undergraduate exposure to the functional areas of business, students are able to gain a more extensive focus in one of these two specific areas of business.
M.Acc. students seek advanced preparation for careers in various aspects of accounting. The degree stresses in-depth study of accounting theory, auditing, taxation, information systems, applications, policy, and decision making. The program can be undertaken by students possessing an undergraduate accounting degree from UW–Madison or an undergraduate accounting degree in a non-accounting field from any school.
The School of Business offers the Evening MBA—a part-time program that allows students to complete an MBA degree while continuing full-time employment. The evening MBA is a 32-month, lockstep, cohort program offering a major in general management. Classes meet Monday and Thursday evenings during fall, spring and summer, and alternate Fridays and Saturdays in January. There is an international trip in the second year of the program.
The Executive MBA Program at the Wisconsin School of Business gives experienced, high-potential managers the opportunity to earn an advanced degree over 21 months without career interruption.
Offered in lock step with a single cohort, the Executive MBA Program meets every other Friday and Saturday. The curriculum is specifically designed to build on the unique knowledge and experience executives bring to the classroom.
The Ph.D. degree provides advanced instruction that actively involves the student in research. Wisconsin School of Business doctoral candidates share with their professors the experience of exploring the frontiers of knowledge while acquiring the spirit as well as the methods of productive scholarship. At the time of enrollment, each student is assigned a major advisor to provide program counsel and to channel communication within and between School of Business departments. The mentoring relationship between the major professor and student is one of mutual agreement.
The Wisconsin School of Business offers the Ph.D. with the following specializations: Accounting Actuarial Science, Risk Management and Insurance Finance, Investment, and Banking Information Systems and Operations and Information Management Management and Human Resources Marketing Real Estate and Urban Land Economics
Minimum Degree Requirements and Satisfactory Progress (Ph.D.)
Admission consideration for the MBA Program requires a four-year undergraduate degree or the equivalent, in any discipline, from an accredited institution. The Wisconsin School of Business seeks a minimum of two years of full-time work experience along with a strong undergraduate performance. In addition to academic credentials, GMAT scores, and work experience, personal achievements, motivation, communication skills (written and oral), international exposure, and recommendation letters are considered in the admission process at both the master's and doctoral levels.
Please note: The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), taken within five years of the starting term, is required of all applicants to the School of Business; the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) may be an acceptable alternative on a case by case basis. All applicants whose native language is not English must submit scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the Pearson Test of English (PTE), Intensive English as a Second Language (IELTS) or show the completion of an Interlink program. A minimum iBT TOEFL score of 100 or equivalent, obtained within two years of the intended start term, is required. International applicants who have completed a degree at an institution whose primary language of instruction was English may request a waiver of this requirement on the application.

The Teacher Education Section of the Department of Education and Skills was established in 2004 to oversee teacher education policy and practice. The Section views teacher education as an ongoing process, from initial teacher education, to induction and continuing professional development – see below. The Section is involved in policy formulation, co-ordination, general direction and management, quality and financial control in supporting the provision of education and continuing support for teachers and school leaders throughout their careers.
The Teaching Council promotes and develops teaching as a profession at primary and post-primary levels. It provides a forum for presenting the views of the profession on all aspects of the teaching career from initial recruitment to in-career professional development. As the regulatory body for teachers in Ireland, the Teaching Council produces a code of professional conduct for teachers, which covers standards of teaching, knowledge, skill and competence. It also maintains a register of all teachers who teach in recognised schools in Ireland. For information on registration see 'How to apply' below.
Primary school teachers must be qualified to teach the range of primary school subjects to children aged 4 to 12 years. To qualify as a primary school teacher, you must have completed one of the folowing:
A list of recognised colleges providing approved programmes is available on the website of the Teaching Council of Ireland.
Irish language requirements: Primary school teachers must satisfy the Department of Education and Skills (DES) that they can not only teach the Irish language but also teach the range of primary school subjects through Irish. In order to gain full recognition as a primary school teacher, applicants must pass the written, aural and oral parts of the Scrúdú Cáilíochta sa Ghaeilge and provide certification that they have completed an approved three-week course in the Gaeltacht.
Probation: Before being certified as fully qualified teachers, graduates of the colleges of education have to complete a probation period after they satisfy the Irish language requirement. This is generally a one-year period during which an inspector from the DES evaluates the teacher's work. If the Inspector is satisfied by the teacher's performance, they will be awarded the DES Diploma which certifies that they are a fully qualified national school teacher.
Restricted recognition of qualifications: this is given to teachers who are qualified to teach the range of primary school subjects to pupils aged 4 to 12 years but who are not qualified to teach in mainstream national schools because they do not have an appropriate Irish language qualification. Teachers with restricted recognition generally work with students who have special educational needs. Those who qualified outside the State – see below – or those who received their teaching qualification in Montessori teaching are eligible for restricted recognition.
Post primary teachers are normally required to teach at least 1 subject which they have studied to degree level. They may also be required to teach other subjects which they have not studied to degree level but in which they have developed expertise. Post-primary teachers do not need to have a qualification in the Irish language unless they are employed by a Gaeltacht school or a school where Irish is the medium of instruction.
Qualification is usually achieved by gaining a primary degree from a recognised third-level institution. This degree must include at least 1 subject from the post-primary schools' curriculum for the Leaving Certificate Programme. The primary degree is followed by a postgraduate qualification in education such as the Higher Diploma in Education (H.Dip.Ed.). Another path to qualification is gaining a degree which is awarded by a recognised third-level institution on the basis of a concurrent course of academic study and teacher training. Physical education teachers are required to have completed a 4-year degree in physical education, based on concurrent teacher education programme.
Recognition of qualifications: The Teaching Council is the statutory body that sets the standards of academic achievement and professional training required of teachers at post primary level. Most of the qualifications that have general recognition by the Council are awarded by institutions in this country, with a small number being awarded by institutions in the United Kingdom. If your qualification does not have general recognition by the Council, you must submit a detailed statement of your third-level education and qualifications so it can assess you on an individual basis.
If you are a primary or post-primary school teacher who qualified outside Ireland and you wish to teach in a recognised school, you must apply for recognition of your qualifications prior to registration. Under the EU Directives for the Mutual Recognition of Professional Qualifications, teachers who qualified in an EU member state can get professional recognition in Ireland. Changes to these requirements were announced in May 2010 and will apply to people whose teacher training starts on or after 1 January 2011. The Teaching Council is responsible for processing applications and regulating admissions to the teaching profession in Ireland. Qualifications obtained outside the EU must be acceptable to the Council. Once your qualifications have been recognised, you may then apply for registration – see 'How to apply' below.
Provisional recognition of qualifications: Teachers trained in another EU member state (and currently teachers trained outside the EU) whose qualifications have been assessed and accepted by the Department of Education and Skills, but who do not possess an appropriate Irish language qualification, will be granted a 5-year period of provisional recognition to teach in Irish national schools. During this period, teachers must work towards meeting the Department's Irish language requirements. If a school employs a teacher with provisional recognition, it must ensure that arrangements are made to teach Irish to that teacher's class. In this situation, a school must show what arrangements are in place to the Department's inspectors when they visit the school.
Provisional recognition of qualifications: EU law states that an EU citizen who is recognised as a post-primary teacher by another EU/EEA country may seek similar recognition in Ireland. However, while they are waiting for a final decision on their application for full recognition, the teacher will be granted only provisional recognition in this country. This will entitle them to the same pay and conditions of employment as apply to a recognised teacher in Ireland while the suitability of their qualifications is being assessed. The applicant can make up any shortfall in the terms of their qualification by either by taking an aptitude test or by undergoing an adaptation period.
This scheme allows for language assistants from France, Germany, Spain, Austria and Italy to be assigned to post-primary schools and colleges in Ireland. Their fluency can help students understand and speak a foreign language and give them a better understanding of the way of life and customs of other countries. In the same way Irish students of French, German, Italian and Spanish can apply to work as English language assistants in the countries listed above. Details of the English Language Assistant scheme can be found on the Department of Education and Skills website.
There are a number of supports available to teachers for continuing professional development. The DES Teacher Education Section provides support to school leaders and teachers in a number of areas such as curriculum reform, improving principals' skills as leaders and managers, facilitating the management of schools and increasing the involvement of parents in the education of their children. It also provides support to particular projects and initiatives including those related to priority areas of education provision such as disadvantage and inclusion, education for students with special educational needs, positive behaviour management and language support for foreign national students.
The nationwide network of education centres organise the local delivery of national programmes of teacher professional development on behalf of the Department of Education and Skills. The centres also organise a varied local programme of activities for teachers, school management and parents in response to demand.
Professional Development Service for Teachers (PDST) provides professional development and support to help teachers and schools to provide the best possible education for all pupils and students. Continuing Professional Development opportunities are provided for teachers on a nationwide basis and in collaboration with the Education Centre network.
The Special Education Support Service co-ordinates, develops and delivers a range of professional development initiatives and support structures for school personnel working with students with special educational needs in a variety of educational settings. These include mainstream primary and post-primary schools, special schools and special classes attached to mainstream schools.
The Teacher Fee Refund Scheme is administered by Marino Institute of Education on behalf of the Department of Education and Skills. It provides funding towards the cost of course and examination fees incurred by primary and post primary teachers who are doing in-career development courses approved by the Department and school authorities. Approved refunds are payable on successful completion of the approved course.
Since 28 January 2014, teachers employed in State-funded teaching positions in recognised schools must be registered in order to be paid from public funds.
If you are a final-year student teacher in an Irish college or university, a member of staff from the Teaching Council will visit your college or university to provide information about the role of the Council and on teacher registration. At this information session, you will be required to fill in a form which authorises your college or university to transfer your contact and exam result details to the Teaching Council.
You will also be required to complete a Garda vetting form during this visit. The result of the Garda vetting will be issued to you as soon as the result is returned to the Teaching Council. You will then be sent a personalised application form. If the form is completed correctly and if your qualifications are in order, the Council will then confirm your registration. Currently, there is no charge applied when a new graduate is added to the Register of Teachers. New graduates will be granted conditional registration until they have successfully completed a process of induction (for post-primary teachers) or probation (for primary teachers).
There are a number of categories under which teachers may apply to the Teaching Council for registration. Qualified teachers working in recognised schools can download application forms for registration, details of registration for teachers and the code of professional conduct from the Teaching Council website.

Os Mutantes, 'Haih...or Amortecedor' (Anti-)
- SPIN Rating:8 of 10
The house band of Tropicália -- Brazil's late-'60s art movement so revolutionary that the government shut it down -- has been championed by Kurt Cobain, imitated by Beck, and reissued by David Byrne. Here, a founding multi-instrumentalist member, a longtime bassist, and several supportive additions forgo the initial trio's psychedelic pop for angular guitar riffs and agile Latin rhythms that evoke an adventurous, timeless sense of fun. Tropicália pioneer Tom Zé cowrites several Portuguese-language tracks, suggesting the politicized musical theater manifestos of a distant wild planet.

Cracked heat exchanger?
I have my HVAC system serviced/inspected 2x/year. The unit was installed in our spec home in 8/02. We purchased the house 4/03. Two years ago (fall 2010), the tech did a puff or smoke test where he introduced smoke into the heat exchanger and watched it swirl around and slowly drift back out. With that test, he said I had a cracked heat exchanger. He told me he would have to shut off the gas and replace it. He had the HVAC company owner come out and re-do the test. The boss said, no there was no crack. Last year, they did the same test and and found no problem.
Yesterday there was a new tech. He did the same test, said the heat exchanger was cracked, and shut off the gas and tagged it out. Options were to replace the heat exchanger or replace the furnace. He also threw out that we should replace the AC since we have a documented refrigerant leak. Of course, he pushed that we needed to make a decision ASAP so that they could fit us in their schedule so that we wouldn't be without heat as the nights are getting colder.
I had the tech come back last night and walk through what he found and what he recommended with with my husband. Meanwhile, I researched my York Furnace and found that I have a lifetime warranty on my heat exchanger. When I asked about that, the tech wouldn't give me a straight answer. I wanted to know what the labor charges would be to replace the warrantied heat exchanger. He finally said someone would call me in the morning.
I also made arrangements for another HVAC company to come check out my heat exchanger. I chose a company that is a York dealer since I felt they would be most familiar with our unit. He arrived this morning. He turned the gas back on and checked out our heat exchanger. He used a CO detector and found no elevated levels of CO. Based upon his visual inspection and the test he said the heat exchanger was not cracked.
My questions:
1. While I've read about smoke bombs, I hadn't found much about puff (smoke) tests. Is this a valid test? Anyone have a video on what this test should look like?
2. Are there any other tests besides the CO detector that should be done?
3. We have CO monitors in the house, but they are ceiling mounted. Someone told me they should be placed low. Is that correct?
4. Any questions I should be asking either contractor regarding my system?
BTW, the first contractor has not contacted me today at all. Not certain why. I thought they wanted a sale.
If you have any other information or web resources to share I would appreciate it.
I am not an expert when it comes inspecting heat exchangers, but I am pretty good at detecting a scam. The tech was using a the scare tactic to get you to replace your 10 year old furnace and AC. The scam ended when you stared asking questions about the heat exchanger warranty. This is the reason why you didn't get a call back. Good for you for not getting scammed.
I have included a link about heat exchanger inspection methods. I have never heard of the puff smoke test. I thought cracked heat exchangers were found by visual inspection.
If you are worried about carbon monoxide, then I suggest you install a dector near the furnace. Carbon monoxide is lighter than air. You should place the detector at least 5 feet above the floor.
Here is a link that might be useful: Heat Exchanger Inspection Methods
Thanks for your feedback Mike. And thanks for the link. I found that one yesterday. I'm a visual person. I would really like to find a you-tube video of an inspection.
In reading the document that you linked, CO detection is NOT a good indicator of a cracked heat exchanger. I'm curious, I have an updraft furnace so the CO measurement should be in the plenum above the heat exchanger, right? So, what would measuring the CO near the burners indicate?
Mike - on page 12 of the document you linked it states:
"Using a smoke puffer you can fill the burner chamber with smoke. Then turn the blower on. If the smoke sprays out and away from the burner opening you have a good indication of a leak in the heat exchanger."
The tech did demonstrate this. However, the word "spray" is subject to interpretation. Yes, there was some movement of the smoke coming back from the burner, but how vigorous does that movement have to be to be a "spray". Without the burner on the smoke swirled around. Once it was turned on it swirled faster and came out.
So far I haven't been able to find a video of how this looks like in a normal furnace and how it might look with a crack in the heat exchanger.
In my opinion, there should be no CO gas regardless where it is measured. CO gas measured near the burns could indicate an improper mixture of gas and air resulting in incomplete combustion. You should have a nice looking blue flame. If it is yellow, then you are not getting complete combustion.
I think most techs will rely on visual inspections and CO measurement before determining a furnace is not safe. I am not sure of the reliability of the smoke test. It sounds more like a "smoke and mirrors" test.
"I am not sure of the reliability of the smoke test. It sounds more like a "smoke and mirrors" test."
My thoughts exactly. Besides this document, I have not found reference to a smoke puffer test.
Now a little more background - this same HVAC contractor has done the same thing to at least 2 other homes in our neighborhood. 2 with American Standard units and our York. The tech is an old time guy come back out of retirement and swears this is the right thing. The neighbors opted to have their heat exchangers replaced. Seven weeks and 3 weeks, respectively, and STILL waiting for "parts".
Anyone else want to weigh in?
Heat exchangers can go bad, but in most cases they are under warranty.
That is what happened to us. The tech pointed this out and said the company would get back to us. They did with an estimate of almost $3,000 to replace the entire furnace which was just over ten years old. Luckily I save everything and checked the spec sheet we'd been given when the furnace was installed. I called American Standard and sure enough the part was fully covered under the lifetime warranty.
Long story short, we got the new part for the cost of shipping and labor to install it. $500 and some sure beats almost three thousand dollars. Pays to not just take them at their word.
Forty-eight hours and I still haven't heard back from the original HVAC contractor. They were supposed to give me the price to replace just the warrantied heat exchanger and to discuss the potential relocation of our furnace should we be replacing it. (Spec home w/furnace located in the middle of the basement instead of an easily enclosed area. We have a main floor master so our basement is huge. Lot's of space to locate it)
It is unlikely your are going to get a call back because they have no interest in replacing your heat exchanger. This is the same thing that has happened to your neighbors.
If you press them they may come back with a very high price and say for a few hundred dollars more we can replace the furnace.
"If you press them they may come back with a very high price and say for a few hundred dollars more we can replace the furnace."
This is exactly what they did when they first said the heat exchanger was cracked. $2.8-3k to replace the heat exchanger since he claimed the 10 year warranty was expired (not - has a lifetime warranty) vs $3.2k for a new Everrest system. BTW...has anyone seen some of the marketing stuff from Everrest on the web? Seems rather high pressure to sell....selll....SELL!
I inspect furnaces on a daily basis. I would be shocked if there was anything wrong with your heat exchanger. The only real test is a visual inspection. It sometimes involves pulling the blower motor and a mirror. If you still don't feel safe ask another heating contractor for a second opinion. Most good companies will offer 2nd opinion calls for free. maybe then you can find a good company to start doing your semi-annual maintenance.
I couldn't get the second opinion for free, but I do think I found a reputable company to work with. They distribute York furnaces, which is what I have. I've gotten good feedback from a number of friends and acquaintances, so I'm sticking with them from now on.
I suggest that you call your local Gas utility that supplies you with natural gas and ask to have a tech come out to inspect your furnace. Just tell them that you smell gas when you get around the furnace. They will be there and take a look immediately.
My DH worked for So Cal Gas Co for 43 years and I was a General Contractor for over 25 years. Between the 2 of us we know about gas appliances.
...i'm so glad i found this forum. i had this exact thing happen to me yesterday. heating guy comes out and starts dismantling the furnace. within 3-4 minutes he takes off this little panel, maybe 3x4, think he called it 'limit control'. he goes bad news, you have a cracked heat exchanger, you need a new furnace. mind me, he is looking in a small opening at probably 1% of the heat exchanger.he said rub your finger over and feel how sharp it is. well i did and it was as smooth as a baby's bottom.
after researching by googling "heat exchanger scam" i am 100% certain he was pulling a fast one. told me due to their liability he had to shut the unit down and if i used it the furnace would be sending out deadly carbon monoxide.
i look at it this way, he gave me a quote of 3,000$ to replace the furnace. my guess is 1,500$ is pure profit. what would these guys rahter do, run around and make 20 calls for a furnace tune-up or replace 1 guys furnace.
just google this scam and you'll get a better idea of what these guys are doing. here's 1 of my favorites:
http://carbonmonoxidemyths.com/Myth-1.html. or just go to youtube and watch the fox news report.
Cracked Exchanger Scam
One of the most common furnace repair scams involves homeowners being led to believe their furnace has a crack in its heat exchanger. The scam unfolds when a dishonest repairman is called to inspect an idle furnace. Upon arrival, repairmen act as though they are inspecting heat exchangers, which most homeowners are unfamiliar with. After reaching around inside the exchange, workers inform the homeowner that the unit is cracked and if the furnace is turned on, it could emit carbon monoxide into the home. Whether there is a crack in the heat exchanger or not, dishonest repairmen usually tell victims they, by law, must not turn on the furnace. This often prompts scam victims to pay for a new furnace they may not need.

....Please go google: 'cracked heat exchanger' scams. the guy who told you this is a crook. see below:
also: http://carbonmonoxidemyths.com/Myth-1.html
good luck.
This is a good time to point out not all cracked heat exchangers are scams and can be dangerous. But there are a lot of bad contractors out there so it is important to find one you can trust and not move around just to find the best deal because in the long run it usually will cost you more.

Propane vs. Heat Pump w/PV - SF Bay Area
I live in the SF Bay Area, but up at 2600 feet elevation, so it gets a little hotter in the summer and a little colder in the winter than down in the flats. Still, a typical winter night (like tonight) is around 40 F, only occasionally does it get down to freezing and only for a week or so. Once in the last 10 years it got down to 28 F overnight.
My 11 year old 80,000 BTU 90% efficiency Bryant furnace just cracked its heat exchanger, filling the house with CO (and triggering the CO alarm, good thing we had one of those)
So now I'm faced with the replacement decision.
Option 1: New 80,000-100,000 BTU 95% efficient furnace and a new 4-5 ton A/C unit. Furnace fueled with propane, currently paying $3.61/gallon(!) for that. We occasionally get 1-2 day power outages, and the 18 kw generator runs the furnace blower but the heat comes from propane.
Option 2: 10 HSPF heat pump, no new A/C unit required. Heat pump powered by PG&E electric E-6 time of use rates ranging from $0.09794/kwh winter off-peak baseline up to $0.32295/kwh on-peak at the 300% tier. *However* we also have a 14 kilowatt (DC rating) grid-tied PV array on the house which currently offsets 80% of the PG&E bill, keeping us pretty far down in the rate tiers. During power outages, the PV is offline so all power would come from the 18kw generator.
We also offset some of our heating load during the winter with a wood stove burning (nearly free) wood that grows on our property.
My calculations say that even at the worst case power bill, the heat pump is $31/million BTU vs $41/million BTU for the propane at today's propane prices... and of course if we're not in the highest electric tier and we're not using it during peak, the price goes down as low as $9/million BTU for the heat pump. (Even less if the PV system happens to power the whole thing of course, and I'm prepared to upsize the PV array by another 5kw if it makes sense.)
But is there more to it that would mean that I really wouldn't be happy with a heat pump, or would pay a lot more than I'm expecting (e.g., maintenance) to go that route?
I think you generally would be fine with a heatpump. I live in a colder area than you and I have 2 floors with 2 separate systems - one HP and one dual fuel so effectively NG when it is really cold.
At 30 degrees, it is nice to have the NG. The system runs less but I don't really notice the warmer air coming from the registers unless I try to by putting my hand over them. Upstairs with the heatpump only, I have some issues with airflow. It is a zoned system that wasn't done all that well. I think with a good duct system where you don't really notice the air flow, then you should be perfectly happy.
From a dollar standpoint, if you have terrible ductwork, the heatpump may not be as cheap to run as you expect. This is not talked about much but if your ductwork leaks to unconditioned space, then a heatpump will cause more leaks by virtue of it running for longer periods of time. These leaks can represent 50% of energy use in a worst case scenario. Not only are btu's lost, but the house becomes negatively pressured and sucks more outside air in leading to more btu's lost. Logic would say that if the propane furnace runs for 30 minutes vs 2 hours for the heat pump, then there is much more leakage. The btu's actually leaked may not be much higher but the infiltration from negative pressure has to be worse (presumably 4 times worse).
So just make sure your ductwork is in good shape.
Also know that you might be in a small minority there which could be an issue.
Some observations.
The generator is powered by propane?
You need to see what the KW pull is for a heat pump. At the moment with existing setup, what else does your generator power during an outage?
Based on your location/climate, a heat pump would be a logical choice for heating versus propane heating.
Can you be a little more specific on how your tiered electric rate works? Without heating or cooling, what is a good average of KWH usage each month for your home?
How large is your home?
Have you thought of a dual fuel system? Possibly an 80% eff two stg furnace that could be used for those rare cold snaps and power outages?The backup furnace would eliminate the need for aux heat from heat strips.
How would you characterize the insulation qualities of your home?
Ductwork has been inspected? Any hot cold spots in your home?
Post back.
Propane is no bargain. Although your electricity can be expensive at times it sounds like it isn't all the time.
A new efficient heatpump can handle these types of temperatures no problem as long as your house isn't leaky. Your bills shouldn't be bad. When a heatpump is running constantly during colder temperatures is when electric usage gets higher.
I like the comfort of heatpumps at 30 and above. They do run more at a lower register temperature but his provides an even heat.
> The generator is powered by propane?
> You need to see what the KW pull is for a heat pump. At the moment with existing setup, what else does your generator power during an outage?
Generator powers nearly everything. (The only things not on the generator are the septic enhanced treatment pumps, the pool equipment, and the hot tub.)
> Based on your location/climate, a heat pump would be a logical choice for heating versus propane heating.
The last few days have been fairly typical for the "cold" part of the year. In the last 72 hours, minimum temp 35, average temp 41.
> Can you be a little more specific on how your tiered electric rate works? Without heating or cooling, what is a good average of KWH usage each month for your home?
It is the PG&E E-6 rate plan. http://www.pge.com/tariffs/tm2/pdf/ELEC_SCHEDS_E-6.pdf
This past month our net usage was 28.4 kWh/day, but during the summer we generate more than we use.
> How large is your home?
2400 square feet.
> Have you thought of a dual fuel system? Possibly an 80% eff two stg furnace that could be used for those rare cold snaps and power outages?The backup furnace would eliminate the need for aux heat from heat strips.
That's what I'm thinking now. Definitely solves the power outage problem, though the woodstove does that nearly as well. Seems like a low or moderate efficiency furnace is about the same price as a standalone air handler anyway.
> How would you characterize the insulation qualities of your home?
Home was built in 1972, parts remodelled in 1980 or so... so not the greatest insulation, but we have installed double-pane windows everywhere and upgraded the insulation in some areas.
> Ductwork has been inspected? Any hot cold spots in your home?
Ductwork will be overhauled at the same time we install the new system. No particular hot or cold spots now though.
This may not be relevant, but can you say why your PV system does not provide power during a grid outage?
And why do you want to keep the current AC system if you go with a HP? Or did I misunderstand the 'no new AC unit required'?
Depending on age, the new HP (or AC) will lessen your electrical usage by a noticeable amount.
I have two Heat Pump projects completed within the last three months that are using under $40.00 per for November and December. One home is 1800 sq. ft. and the other home is 2000 sq. ft. Both homes have 16 SEER Goodman split systems. Both homes have are kept between 68 and 70 degrees 24 hours a day.
The Homes are in Calaveras County at 1500 feet elevation. The temperature at nights are under 20 degrees. Both units have not gone into emergency heat.
Both homes are saving about $200 plus a month from removing the Propane use.
I highly recommend a well installed Heat Pump system with a tight and well insulated duct system. The full system static should not be designed more than .3 in. w.c system static.
I do not see your home needing more that three tons.
I am testing the operation of these systems at over 350% more efficient than an electric strip heat. So for every 1000 watts the compressor is using the system will deliver more than 3500 watts of power or heat into your home.
Matthew - I'm not sure how the pricing works with your PV credit, but if you're at 28 kwh per day, it's the cost of the NEXT kwh's that matter for incremental use like when you turn on a heat pump, not the average. If your pricing is such that you get anywhere near the 30 cent rates, I can't imagine a heat pump would be cost effective. But I'm just a homeowner, not an expert.
Tommie D - Help me with the math - at the 13 cent lowest PGE rate, $40 would be 300 kwh. The fan for my gas furnace uses 100 kwh or more during heating times. These customers must not have refrigerators and wash clothes in the nearest stream?
Listen to Tiger dunes and go with a dual fuel, no doubt. Out of all these posts, I was wondering why no one mentioned the dual fuel system, but then I saw Tiger's. gas heat furnace(propane) with a heat pump outside. requires a dual fuel board. No big deal. This will be the best system for you.

Sustainable sushi
If turning a restaurant into a sustainable activity can be a hard job, running a sustainable sushi restarant is even tougher.
Behind Japan's most famous and loved national dish, in fact, often hide unorthodox fishing methods that can badly hurt the environment as well as prove potentially dangerous for consumers.
The risks of overfishing and the state of the world's sushi are thoroughly explained in a clip that's gone viral during the last weeks, which was significantly shot by a sushi restaurant – Bamboo Sushi (Portland, Oregon), the firts certified sustainable sushi restaurant.
The Story of Sushi is an eye-opening 4-minute movie following sushi fish through its journey from the sea to the table. Made with incredible hand-crafted miniatures, the video focuses on mass fishing and bycatch, which are sadly a growing menace to dying breeds and the ecosystem. Not to mention the huge waste caused by transport and bad conservation.
Through this clip and several partnerships with some of the largest organizations in marine stewardship and oceanic sustainability in the United States, Bamboo Sushi aims at raising awareness on the need of finding a better ending to this story.
From a practical point of view, the restaurant only employs fish coming from healthy, ethically fished populations and zero-mile ingredients.
Everything is accurately monitored and checked, ensuring that the operations have a light footprint as well – an eco-friendly attitude which includes power efficiency, water sparing, 100% biodegradable to-go containers and a compost program.

TUCSON - Only a few storms developed over Southeastern Arizona on Wednesday after many days of recent rain. The atmosphere has stabilized and most of the storms developed in the mountains and haven't lasted very long.
An area of low pressure will move through the State on Thursday and enhance storm chances again, but the latest forecast still keeps most of the region dry.
One of the most noticeable features will be cooler temperatures. Highs on Thursday will struggle to reach the low 90s even in the warmest deserts.
Mainly quiet weather should continue through the weekend with only isolated storms in the forecast.
