Wishing everyone a Happy Veteran’s Day!

The team of energy experts at Long Fence and Home would like to wish everyone a Happy Veteran’s Day, but more importantly to offer our thanks to the brave men and women who have served our country and continue to protect everything that we hold dear.

The founder of Long Fence and Home, Bob Long, served our country as a Merchant Marine during World War II, and instilled in the company  an appreciation for members of the military. As a continuation of this appreciation, Long Fence and Home always offers current and past military personnel a 25% discount on all products and services.

Along with the discount, Long Fence and Home will be participating in Decorate-A-Vet next week, a project where we will be joining other service and home improvement companies to enhance the homes of veterans in the community.

We are eternally grateful for everything our military does throughout the world, and will continue to help out anyway we can. If you see a veteran today, be sure to shake their hand and say thank you. They certainly deserve it.

November’s energy saving tip!

October is over and we’ve already had our first snow! As the air continues to chill and the temperatures start to drop, your heating costs will begin to rise. We know that heating your home is important, but did you know that setting your thermostat at 68 degrees or lower during the winter months is the ideal temperature? For each degree you increase the temperature from the recommended setting, you can increase your energy bill up to 4%. Here’s a quick table to show you the impact of raising your temperature.

Long Solar – Solar Panel Package in MD, VA, DC Saves You Money

Long Solar

What you need to know:

THE BIGGEST REASON WHY SOLAR MAKES SENSE: 30% FEDERAL TAX CREDIT FOR SOLAR (LIMITED TIME – THE GOVERNMENT WILL GIVE YOU BACK 30% ON YOUR PROJECT)

The Details:

• The panels are plug and play: Add up to 15 total panels without changing anything at all
• How do we attach them? The panel system slides under your shingles and are secured
• How does it work? The sun hits the panels and creates electrons that then generate electricity. It’s like magic!
• What am I really saving? It depends on the house. Our product specialists will look at your energy output, the placement of your home and review all the numbers so you can make an educated buying decision.
• Why solar?Tax credits are 30% and cover labor, install and materials. That’s unheard of. For example, for windows, the government covers your cost of product, but doesn’t cover labor or installation.
• There are no HOA (homeowners association) restrictions AT ALL. This is huge for homeowners because very often they cannot change their door, windows, etc because of restrictions in the neighborhood. Solar is SO IMPORTANT for our country that the federal government has made it a FEDERAL LAW that no HOA can stand in the way of a homeowner who wants to have solar panels put on their home.
• We give every potential customer a complimentary energy inspection and site survey to establish what solar package is right for the homeowner and their home.
• Long Attic Mirror (sometimes known as radiant barrier) is a thin, silver lining placed in your attic. It’s made from NASA space suit technology and it reflects heat back to where it came from. In the summer, it pushes the sun’s rays away from your home and in the winter, it keeps the heat from escaping. If you ever have rooms or floors that are very different temperatures, attic mirror will even that out.
• Built in 24/7 monitoring so you can see your savings from day 1
• Affordable on literally any budget and we figure out all the details
• 100% Satisfaction Guarantee on Long Energy Products

The Final Space Shuttle Launch: A Home Energy Comparison

Space – the final frontier. These are the blog entries of the home improvement company Long Fence and Home.

NASA’s storied space shuttle program is schedule to end today with the launch of the shuttle “Atlantis”. Over the last three decades the program has launched over 130 flights. The final shuttle is scheduled to return July 20th.  We wish NASA a safe and successful voyage.

Have you ever thought about how much energy is necessary to send a shuttle into orbit?  If you were launching a shuttle using the energy in your home, how much do you think it would cost? Some quick research reveals that the cost would be around $90,750! Chump change right? That is approximately 48 years of home energy bills.  Of course, this doesn’t include the cost of the actual space shuttle.  I think homeowners are going to have to rely on Star Trek reruns to satisfy their space exploration needs.

If you are interested in launching a shuttle from your backyard in the near future, it would be wise to start saving on your energy costs. A free year of energy would be a great way to start! Anything we can do to help your space program!
