On January 10, 2023, in her State of the State speech, Governor Kathy Hochul called for the nations’ most aggressive ban on fossil fuels yet in new buildings. During her speech, Hochul urged the State Legislature to phase out the sale of fossil fuel heating equipment in existing residential buildings beginning in 2030, and for commercial buildings, 2035.  The Governor also proposed that new residential buildings be all electric by 2025, and commercial buildings be all electric by 2030.

There’s nothing worse than having to take a cold shower in the winter when your water just won’t get hot. Believe it or not, this isn’t always an issue with frozen pipes. More likely, it might be time to get your water heater serviced! 

The winter months can be challenging for a variety of reasons. As the days grow both colder and shorter families spend more time inside their homes. This is a time when the efficient and effective heating of your home is most important.

As the days get colder, air quality in the home tends to decrease. Cold and dry air traps additional pollution, which can negatively impact air quality and cause irritation, allergies, or other difficulties.
