All Energies Tip of the Week
If you want to lower your energy costs, a tight well insulated home or business is the best investment you can make, to save energy and money. In the Big Bend Region consider a minimum of R30 in your roof and R19 in the Walls. Radiant Barriers between the outside and your insulation, will help in the summer to lower cooling costs. Large overhangs and porches will also reduce your cooling load. If you are building a masonry home, consider 24”+ thick walls or insulating one side of the wall. Well made double pane windows will also help, all year round. A well insulated home, will lower the size and cost of your solar system. If you need help making your solar system work better, email casey@allenergies.net or call/text 432-242-1874.

Meet Lovey!
Lovey is just over a year old and was surrendered to the Alpine Animal Shelter over two months ago. She’s a super sweet, very affectionate, 45-pound dog. She very much likes playing with other gentle dogs, but she’s not into rowdy play. She’s water crazy and would love romping around in Terlingua Creek or even a kiddie pool! Lovey is fully vaccinated, spayed and microchipped. You can meet her and many other wonderful pets in need of homes at the Alpine Animal Shelter. For more info about adoption, email admin@alpinehumanesociety.org. The Alpine Humane Society helps animals throughout Brewster County.
