“You won’t be vulnerable if you don’t mind workin’ with people or having help sometimes… We’re all like tool belts for each other… Imagine this life as if we’re at the pool party, if [some]body can’t swim and falls in though, there are people at the party that can jump in and catch you, and then you straight.”

16. Take Advantage of Tax Credits A host of tax credits can help homeowners install renewable energy and energy efficiency projects. For example, through the end of 2008, people can get a federal 30% production tax credit (PTC), which provides a 1.9-cent per kilowatt-hour (kWh) benefit (up to $2,000) for the first ten years of a renewable energy project’s operation.

Various state, local and federal incentives exist to encourage storm doors, energy efficient furnaces and much more. View a detailed list of opportunities available to you at the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency

Top 5 Louisville Plumber Tips for Winter

The Louisville area has cold winters and there are many things that can go wrong with old and outdated plumbing.  Here are some tips from Louisville Plumbers to keep your plumbing and home safe.

 1. Knowing where the main water valve is essential in the winter time. Be sure you can easily access it and it is labeled for others to find in case of emergency. If a pipe freezes and bursts than shutting of the main water valve is necessary.

2. Replace your furnace filter(s) regularly. If the filter is clogged or dirty it can cause the furnace to work inefficiently and can cause undue stress on the unit as well.

3. Purchase a few water alarms near the hot water heater, the clothes washer, and under around sinks.

4. If vacationing in the winter shut down your homes main water supply to prevent leaks while away.

5. Insulate all exposed pipes paying particular attention to pipes in crawl spaces and against outside walls.

Preparing Your Water Heater For The Winter Months

If you live in an area that snows then you must prepare your hot water heater for the winter months. In the winter temperatures fall below freezing and this can have a very detrimental effect on many things in your house including your hot water heater. In order to ensure that you are fully prepared for winter, you will need to be sure that your hot water heater is functioning perfectly. Without a hot water heater, the pipes filled with water that runs through your house will freeze and bust. When this happens you have another problem on your hand that is much worse. Once pipes bust it costs a lot to go into the walls of a house and fix the pipes before having to repair the wall afterward. This costs a ton of money and that is why you want to make sure that your hot water heater is prepared for the winter. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to go about this process the right way.

HELPFUL TIPS TO WINTERIZE YOUR HOME

Freezing temperatures are not only uncomfortable, they can be downright dangerous for your home - unless you take the proper steps.

Many people wait until just before the first major snowfall to get their equipment ready, but it's far better to prep now.

Make sure your snow blower is ready for action. Fill it up with gas, and start it up to ensure it works.

Also, make sure your shovel is in good condition, and you have salt or sand for your driveway.

And clean your gutters.

"Because once we start to accumulate some snow on roof-tops and ice, as that melts we want it to be free flowing down through the gutters. If it’s not, it will back up on your roof, and it can start to then come inside your home through the ceiling and the walls," said Jana Tidwell, AAA Mid-Atlantic. read the full article here: http://6abc.com/weather/helpful-tips-to-winterize-your-home-/1656457/
