Purchase a new Energy Star® Refrigerator before June 1, 2009 and receive a $50 rebate. Go to MyEnergyStar.com & look under “Products & Discounts” for your rebate form.

 

The second refrigerator is costing you more than you think. Georgia Power will pick up and recyle your second working refrigerator or freezer for free and give you $35 in cool cash!  Older refrigerators typically use more than twice the energy of new Energy Star® models.

When renovating or redecorating, consider products that are better for your health as well as the environment. By selecting products that emit low or no V.O.C.’s (volatile organic compounds), you can improve your indoor air quality, and thus you and your family’s health.

Products to consider that emit V.O.C’s include:

 

 

 

 

      Carpet & Flooring

 

                  Paints & Stains

 

Kitchen & Bathroom  Cabinets

Granite Countertops

Ask local vendors for low V.O.C. & no V.O.C. choices. It never hurts to ask.

If you would like specific product vendors for any of the above, email me: LuAnn@TheGilmoreGroup.net & I’ll be happy to supply names of local vendors.

Radon Testing

Did you know that radon is the 2nd leading cause for lung Cancer in the US?  Much of Georgia consists of rock and soil that is radon gas emitting.  Due to the fact that newer homes are being built “tighter” in order to provide better energy conservation, the risk of increaed radon levels in our homes has become greater.  Have a radon test performed in your home by a professional.  If increased levels are detected, it is easy to mitigate to reduce to EPA recommended levels.
