ALASKA ENERGY REBATES: PART 3

I hope you Alaskan homeowners are planning to check into AHFC's Energy Rebate program if you haven't already. You'll benefit from a nice reduction in energy costs plus free improvements to your home.

Thinking of selling? We're not, but if we were, consider how much more marketable our house would be with a four star plus rating and new garage doors, new exterior doors, a new furnace, and added insulation.

Buyers, consider a clause that makes your offer contingent on your satisfactory review of a full year's utility costs and a boiler/furnace servicing and inspection within the past year. It's cold enough outside - there's no sense breaking the bank to stay warm indoors.
