The Cornburning Emporium
As most of you are already aware, heating costs when coming from "Big Oil" are about as predictable as the stock market. One thing that has been very consistent over the years is the price of a bushel of CORN. Corn puts out an incredible amount of B.T.U.'S (App. 9000 B.T.U.'s per Hour per pound) . It takes approximately 5.5 gallons of L.P. gas to put out the B.T. U.'s of one bushel of corn. At todays LP price, corn would have to be app. $7.50/bushel. (Currently it is app. $3.00/bushel) The other huge advantage of Corn is that it renews itself yearly whereas oil takes millions of years. Feel free to give us a call w/ any questions as we enjoy our business very much and when it comes to talking CORN we are all EARS!

Able Homebuilders
Able Homebuilders offer many amenities, which differentiate themselves from their competitors. Since becoming aware of the EPA Energy Star program in 1997, they have incorporated this proactive whole house systems building approach to energy efficient and environmentally sound building practices and constructs only homes, which meet or exceed the EPA Energy Star guidelines. Additionally, each home has installed a passive radon evacuation system, a foundation water evacuation system where deemed appropriate, and a concrete storm safety room where design constraints allow.
While able to construct new homes to the level set by them, the Delfs brothers realized that there was a large niche in remodeling that deserved the attention of an Energy and Resource Efficient contractor. Able Homebuilders has taken their philosophy in new construction and applies all of those principles to their remodeling projects. Although the name says Able Homebuilders, the company is a full service General Contracting company that can perform any project that their customers may require.
Able Homebuilders is able to construct and remodel energy efficient homes while addressing environmental concerns, which benefit their home owners and the community as well.

HRG Corn Furnaces
In these times of high energy costs, it makes sense to use a heat source that utilizes a resource that is readily available and cost effective. The A-Maize-Ing HeatŪ furnace and boiler burn shelled corn, a renewable local commodity. Corn costs less per BTU than other heat sources, plus benefits the local economy by generating business for farmers. The low cost of shelled corn, together with the efficient burning process of this furnace or boiler, produces an ecologically safe home heating system.
