| Weatherization assistance group launched |
A group of people who were involved in the Energy Smackdown in Arlington have formed a new weatherization assistance group called A-HEET, or Arlington Home Energy Efficiency Team. The group is an offshoot of the popular and effective Cambridge HEET and are operating with their generous assistance. A-HEET’s first event was held Saturday, Sept. 12, from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. A-HEET will be weatherizing a two-family home run by the Housing Corporation of Arlington. This project will be mostly sealing exterior penetrations with expanding foam, caulking some interior locations, installing foam seals in electrical outlets and wrapping hot water pipes. A-HEET is also looking for donations of tools – asking people to please check your basement for tools that may be gathering dust and won't likely be used again. If you have any of the items noted below, let us know, and Marin will pick them up. A-HEET is an unofficial nonprofit organization, meaning it does not have 501(c)(3) status. Any donations you make will be out of the kindness of your heart but not eligible for tax-deduction purposes. Tools needed:Caulking gunsUtility knives/razors Utility knife/razor blades Screwdrivers (Phillips and flat head) Nails, size 4d Hammers Goggles/eye protection Nail punches Wrenches Extension cords (heavy duty type, not household type) Tape measures If you have any of the above you’d be willing to donate please email Jeremy Marin at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
