Forced Air Heat Question
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good heating engineer? We have an oil burner/forced air.
We need another duct installed to the first floor and want someone to check the system. Our bill for oil last year was very high - and we think there may be something wrong with the vents/returns, so heat is just pouring out of the house.
Thanks!

Energy Audits
And what's the average cost of the audit? (ConEd and National Grid don't seem to be doing them for free any more...) Has anyone used any of the contractors recommended on NYSERDA (the state energy research authority)? The Brooklyn list is at http://www.getenergysmart.org/Resources/FindPartner.aspx?t=4 . Or have their own recommendations for someone to do an energy audit?

Definitely have a look at Sunrise Specialty. They have a few reproduction claw foots that fit the bill.

We had a more difficult problem. There was a steam pipe in the corner so we had to get a tub that was less then 5ft.
I highly recommend Kohler Greek Tub. You can get one from Home depot(custom order) the one on 24th St in the city has one on display or homecenter.com
Don't bother with the pillow accessory. It's not comfortable.
If you want I can sell you mine (unused).

You could also try the Toto FBY1525. It's the deepest cast iron one with an apron that we found.
