Happy New Year and Back to Work

Hi everyone. I hope you all had a satisfying and pleasant holiday season. Now it's time to get back to work, and for many of us that means making the most of your resources. So, here is a really good idea that is ripe for the picking:

If you are planning on adding air conditioning to your home this year, or possibly even replacing your old worn-out air conditioner with a new unit, just hold on a minute! If you do only that, you will be missing a great opportunity:

Here's the hot tip: instead of just installing an air conditioner, install a heat pump instead! A heat pumps cools just like and air conditioner (in fact, it IS an air conditioner, with a some extra controls and valves added), but it will also heat your home in the winter at a much lower cost than natural gas. That will save you money on your heating bill of course, but there is much more: If you specify a 15SEER efficiency heat pump to be installed, the federal government will give a $1500.00 tax credit. Not only that, Avista will also give Avista customers another $400.00 as an incentive to buy 15SEER. These are serious savings that you should not ignore.

But be aware of this: this incentive exists right now, and there is no guarantee that it will be offered all year. So be smart and jump on this while the incentives are still there. This is real, and it will certainly end at some point.

There are a few details that you need to be aware of. If you want those details, call the office at 509-924-0018. Good luck and Godspeed.
