On The House Express Email Newsletter

On The House rolls into February with even more tips, news, and information on saving money, energy and protecting your piece of the great American dream. Did you know that the home is one of the biggest producers of greenhouse gases? That’s why it’s essential to make sure your home is up-to-par. Energy savings means more money in your pocket, maximum comfort, and a better quality of life for all. It can also mean that your home will produce a smaller “carbon footprint” and, thus, fewer greenhouse gases. Be sure to check out our Green Tip of the Week section, presented by Serious Materials, for simple things you can do around the house to reduce your carbon footprint.

And speaking of going green, this month’s edition of the On The House Express contains some great information from the folks at PexSuppy.com and the California Redwood Association. Rebates abound for the purchase of a new energy efficient tankless water heater. And learn about the benefits of redwood as a renewable resource for you next decking, fencing or exterior woodworking project from the California Redwood Association.

Tankless water heater tax credit for 2009

Why go Tankless?
Tankless water heaters help to cut down your bills by reducing overall energy consumption. Instead of keeping a set amount of water constantly hot, a tankless water heater allows you to only heat the water that you need when you need it. Tankless water heaters vary in size, capacity, brand, energy factor, venting, and fuel type. To find the tankless heater best suited for your application, take a look through PexSupply.com’s section on Tankless Water Heaters.
In addition to the savings you’ll enjoy with lower energy usage, there is also a 2009 Tankless Water Heater Tax Credit to make the purchase of a new tankless water heater even more appealing. Read more…
