The local builders association has a new name but is back with an old favorite: The Building! NCW Home Show runs Feb. 8-10 at the Town Toyota Center.
Chelan PUD conservation staff will be there, helping customers sign up for double rebates for adding insulation and upgrading windows and explaining how to get money back on super-efficient ductless heat pumps. We’ll unveil new offers for customers in 2013 to help pay for energy-efficient appliances, recycle old refrigerators, and seal leaky ducts in manufactured homes.
Home show coordinator Lindsay Shultz said dozens of vendors will be on hand with ideas for new construction, remodeling, landscaping, HVAC, flooring and more.
Feeling a little cooped up? A complete outdoor living space will be set up “that people can walk through and get a feel of what it would be like if they had one of their own,” Shultz said.
Lowe’s will return with its Kids Zone where youngsters can build something, plant something, or get rid of the ants in their pants in the inflatable castle (jumping is mandatory).
Hours are Friday, Feb. 8, 2 to 8 p.m.; Saturday, Feb. 9, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.; and Sunday, Feb. 10, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $6 for adults and $4 for seniors. Shultz said coupons for $1 off will be available around North Central Washington and on the Building NCW website closer to the show. The website still bears the old name – North Central Home Builders Association — but the group is now officially called “Building! NCW.”
