Heating and cooling systems

Before buying a heating system, determine the amount of heat you need (in BTUs) by deciding the temperature increase you'd like and multiplying it by the cubic footage of the area you need to warm up. Decide whether you want a radiant or convection heater and whether you'd prefer electric heat, propane, natural gas or oil.

For cooling, the inexpensive solution is simply a fan. You can select between a rotating pedestal or tower fans or try a box fan that fits into your window space. If you have more than one box fan, it will create an air flow that could cool an entire floor of your home. Of course, air conditioners provide a cooler atmosphere than a fan. Like heat, the cooling power of an air conditioner is measured in BTUs, so the higher the BTUs, the larger the space it will be equipped to handle. Choose between wall-mounted window units or portable air conditioners. Wall-mounted and window ACs require some minor installation. they're stationary, while portable air conditioners can simply be plugged in and moved from one room to another.

Power tools

Power tools are often more efficient than hand tools and are vital to many projects. Selecting the right power tool is the key to getting a job done right.

• power drills are used to make holes and install fasteners, like screws. These tasks are common to many a home improvement project, so a power drill is a useful item in its own right.
• Nail guns drive nails into wood and other materials. Hammers are sufficient for lots of smaller projects, but a nail gun is useful if the task involves a lot of nails or if they have to be driven into hard materials.
• Power saws can cut through lots of different materials. There are many different types of power saws, so choose one that's appropriate for the material you're working with and consider whether you need a portable saw.
• Power sanders round off sharp edges and smooth surfaces more quickly and efficiently than sandpaper alone. A power sander is worth getting if you're doing a project that involves large pieces of wood.
• bench grinders are used for sharpening other tools and for removing rust. Meanwhile, angle grinders help to alter metal and masonry materials, like tile.
