Not one that applies in my neck of the woods, but certainly in those areas of the country that put the hvac systems in the attic commonly. That is a great point Dan.

Comment on EPA Lead regulation changes by Administrator http://homesealed.com/blog/2010/03/01/epa-lead-regulation/comment-page-1/#comment-1425 Administrator Tue, 02 Aug 2011 01:22:07 +0000 http://homesealed.com/blog/?p=54#comment-1425 Bill, unfortunately there is enforcement taking place,and yes, the fines are very real. Window world was just hit with tens of thousands of dollars worth of fines for non-compliance. Sure, it is less likely that a small business would be hit, however, it is certainly possible. It only takes one complaint to throw up red flags... Secondly, certification is only a couple hundred dollars (not thousands), and that includes certification for you as an individual and for your firm. It IS the law, and strongly advise that consumers only do business with certified firms. Bill, unfortunately there is enforcement taking place,and yes, the fines are very real.

Comment on EPA Lead regulation changes by Bill J http://homesealed.com/blog/2010/03/01/epa-lead-regulation/comment-page-1/#comment-1424 Bill J Mon, 01 Aug 2011 17:10:33 +0000 http://homesealed.com/blog/?p=54#comment-1424 Most of the contractors I talk to around the Luzerne County area of Pennsylvania say that the city and the state officials don’t enforce the RRP rules so who cares what the EPA wants. They tell me they’re not going to shell out thousands of dollars to get certified just to be compliant with this nonsense. Most agree that it’s just a waste of time and hard earned money with todays economy the way it is for both them and the home owner. I have even been told by one contractor that even a local city inspector told him it’s a waste money! So my question to you is; should I even be worried about getting certified if the local and state officials don’t even enforce the RRP rule? And, can the EPA really fine a small business that much money?
