Kevin Conrad Heating & Cooling offers “cool” money saving solution.

May 22, 2015 //  by admin

KCHC_Classic_WEB_Blue copyInsulation plays a significant role in making a home energy efficient and in the process, lowering utility bills.  In the heat of summer, many homeowners face the challenge of maintaining a consistent cool temperature in their home, despite central air or traditional window units. Poor insulation in the walls and attic is often the cause.

Kevin Conrad Heating & Cooling, a Nantucket-based certified HVAC contractor specializing in geothermal heating and cooling solutions, now offers a money saving solution to Cape and Island homeowners – insulation foam. Working closely with industry leader Cea Foam, Conrad provides superior “cool” home comfort.

“Many homeowners assume their house is airtight because they have energy efficient thermal windows. But when you’re trying to cool your home and you have poorly insulated areas, such as the attic, you’re not going to retain that cooler air,” said Kevin Conrad, owner. “There will be a noticeable difference in temperature when you move from room to room, and there will be ‘hot spots’ in the home.”

Insulation foam comes in a liquid state, and it is sprayed on areas where insulation is needed. When dry, the foam looks similar to merengue and effectively seals the home against air leakage. In fact, Conrad has insulation foam as well as a geothermal heating and cooling system in his own home, which makes it extremely energy efficient and comfortable.

“Spray foam insulation is a better and more effective insulation than traditional insulation, which is usually a pink or yellow color and often made of fiberglass,” explained Conrad. “Foam insulation may be applied to all the cracks and crevices where air may escape, which creates an air tight foam barrier, insulating your home against the elements. A properly insulated home is not only more comfortable but saves a considerable amount on energy bills.”

Kevin Conrad Heating & Cooling experts ensure proper installation of insulation foam, with regard to appropriate application thickness, location and temperature for optimum results.

To arrange an insulation consultation, contact Kevin Conrad Heating & Cooling 508-228-6211 or visit their website to request an estimate or service http://www.conradhvac.com.

Kevin Conrad Heating & Cooling provides equipment, installation and service for air conditioning, oil and gas boilers, humidification systems, heat pumps, geothermal heating & cooling and ventilation systems.

Wareham March for Meals a Success

May 21, 2015 //  by admin

Howard Goodwin with Judy Whiteside, Wareham Selectwoman
Howard Goodwin with Judy Whiteside, Wareham Selectwoman

Old Colony Elder Services (OCES), the Brockton based regional agency that serves older adults and individuals with disabilities throughout the greater Brockton and Plymouth county area, recently organized a “March for Meals” in Wareham.

March for Meals is part of Meals On Wheels Association of America’s (MOWAA) national campaign. On March 26, 2015, elected officials from Wareham and OCES staff delivered meals to 10 recipients in the community.

Alan Slavin, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, and Judy Whiteside, Selectwoman, also helped pack meals at the congregate site before delivering meals. They were accompanied by Christine McLaren, OCES Community Programs Manager, Maribeth Waldron, OCES Nutrition Program Supervisor and Cheryl Johannessen, OCES Meal Site Manager in Wareham, as they delivered meals to local seniors.

“It’s an honor to have local officials participate in our March for Meals event. Many older adults are homebound, unable to prepare meals, manage their grocery shopping or attend one of our congregate meal sites.  The Meals On Wheels program is essential for those who would otherwise not get a nutritious daily meal. Furthermore, the daily social contact is a crucial safety check of older adults living alone,” explained Diana DiGiorgi, Executive Director of OCES.

The Meals On Wheels program serves individuals age 60 and over who are unable to prepare their own meals. Both the home delivered Meals On Wheels program and the congregate meal sites rely on the assistance of OCES’ volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering for the meals program, or want more information about other volunteer opportunities, contact OCES’ Volunteer Coordinator at 508-584-1561.

Lunch reservations for older adults and individuals with disabilities at the Wareham congregate meal site may be made by calling Cheryl Johannessen at 508-291-3100, extension 6514. Older adults who are interested in receiving meals delivered to their homes can call OCES at 508-584-1561 and request an assessment.

About Meals On Wheels Association of America
MOWAA is the only national association and network dedicated solely to ending senior hunger in America. For more information, visit their website at www.mowaa.org.

Spartan Surfaces renews agreement to rep SelecTech products

May 20, 2015 //  by admin

Thomas Ricciardelli
Thomas Ricciardelli of SelecTech, Inc.

AVON, MA and FOREST HILL, MD…

SelecTech, Inc., a leader in the manufacture of innovative flooring products from recycled materials, recently announced a one-year renewal of its agreement with Spartan Surfaces to represent the Avon, MA-based company in the North Atlantic and Midwest regions.

“We have been very pleased with our relationship with Spartan Surfaces and their representation of our ESD and non-ESD products. Their knowledge and breadth of coverage has been extremely beneficial in bringing the uniqueness of our products to markets where, pardon the pun, we had barely scratched the surface,” said Thomas Ricciardelli, president of SelecTech, Incorporated.

SelecTech’s FreeStyle ESD flooring products are made using recycled material and are 100 percent recyclable. Utilizing a breakthrough interlocking technology, FreeStyle products completely bypass the need for adhesives and floor prep to install or replace flooring. This dramatically reduces installation times because old flooring can be left in place and machinery and furniture does not have to be completely moved or removed for installation.

“We’re extremely excited about renewing our agreement with SelecTech and continuing the marketing of FreeStyle products to our current customer base and prospects,” said Meredith Nicholson of Spartan Surfaces. “FreeStyle ESD products, which create a static-controlled environment, have been particularly attractive to our clients that utilize electronics and sensitive data like electronics manufacturing, communications, aerospace, biotech, healthcare, and other high-tech industries.”

Based in Forest Hill, Maryland, Spartan Surfaces is a sales and consulting group specializing in commercial flooring alternatives. Spartan Surfaces offers sales and marketing solutions in the Atlantic Coast and Midwest regions. For more information, visit www.spartansurfaces.com.

About SelecTech, Inc.

SelecTech, Inc. was founded in 1993 with the mission of creating valuable products from scrap plastics. The company has become a leader in the manufacture of flooring products from recycled materials and uses one million pounds of recycled materials annually. Their products are made with up to 100 percent recycled content, are 100 percent recyclable and installed without adhesives making them some of the “greenest” and most cost-effective flooring products available. The unique interlock system on SelecTech’s flooring products enable them to be installed at a much lower cost, without a lot of costly downtime, which provides significant value to customers.

Using state-of-the-art technology and innovative product design, SelecTech created the top performing Place N’ Go residential flooring products, which are available at Home Depot. They are also the creators of the renowned commercial and industrial FreeStyle, FreeStyle ESD and StaticStop ESD flooring lines.

Work combined with play help small business owners get away

Paul Dion CPA
Paul Dion CPA

MILLBURY, MA and NEWPORT, RI…

The approaching Memorial Day weekend has left many small business owners wondering how they can afford to go away for vacation this summer. If they choose to include some business, it’s possible to turn a five-day excursion to the Cape, a retreat to the mountains or some other trip into a tax deduction and vacation.

“Many small business owners are unclear as to what is business travel and what is not. A simple definition is that if a trip for business causes you to leave your place of business overnight, it’s a business trip and deductible,” said Paul Dion, CPA. “There are some parameters business trips must adhere to. Done correctly, an entire ‘business trip’ can be written off as a business expense.”

The IRS states that travel expenses are 100 percent deductible as long as your trip is business-related and you are traveling away from your regular place of business longer than an ordinary day’s work and you need to sleep or rest to meet the demands of your work while away from home. If the trip meets that definition, you can deduct 100 percent of lodging, tips, car rentals, and 50 percent of your food.

For example, let’s say a small business owner from Millbury spends two days meeting with prospects on the Cape. The first meeting is on Friday morning and the second meeting isn’t until Monday. According to IRS regulations, both days can be deducted as business expenses, even if after the meeting on Friday morning the small business owner spent the rest of the day at the beach.

“The beauty of this deduction is that not only are Friday and Monday deductible, but so are Saturday and Sunday,” said Dion.

Though the IRS does not require receipts for travel expenses under $75 per expense—with the exception of lodging—Dion advises keeping a tax diary of your expenses while you’re away. A good tax diary is essential in order to audit-proof your records. Adequate documentation includes amount, date, place of meeting, and business reason for the expense.

When planning an extended business trip, Dion advises consulting with your tax preparer or accountant.

Adds Dion, “Better yet, pay a visit in person. It’s tax-deductible.”
