Did you know you can save money with tax credits for energy-efficient natural gas equipment? Tax credits are available for both the installation and purchase of natural gas-powered furnaces and tankless water heaters. Energy efficient natural gas equipment helps you use less energy and save money now and in the years ahead.
The tax credits are offered through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and are available for your primary residence. In additions to saving energy and money, you have the satisfaction of knowing that you’re helping the environment by choosing products that use efficient, clean-burning natural gas.
The tax credit is equal to 30% of the installed cost of a qualifying product. You can receive a maximum of $1,500 in tax credits. If your credit for a single purchase is less than $1,500 you can combine several qualifying purchases. All purchases must be completed by December 31, 2010.

I am going green!  I will no longer be mailing newsletters out to my clients.  As an alternative, I have opted to email it.  It’s cheaper and helps save trees.  If you would like to receive my e-newsletter, please email me and I will add you to my current list.  I hope you enjoy my monthly newsletter that is filled with recipes, holiday ideas, housing news, and helpful information and links.
