The amount of the credit is 1.2% of the purchase price up to $1,800 spread over three years.  The credit is only available to buyers of eligible single family residences who close between June 1 and November 30 of 2009. Contact a Full Circle Real Estate Group Agent for more information on how you can take advantage of this credit, along with other new credits.

How Do Tankless Hot Water Heaters Work?

Q : I am looking to replace my old water heater and wanted to know some more information about tankless water heaters? How do they work and where can I find them?
A: Tankless water heaters go by many names, including Combination Boilers, Instantaneous, Continuous Flow, Inline, Flash, or On-Demand, however their benefits to your utility bills are universal. These devices heat the water as it flows through the device, and do not hold a reserve of hot water like traditional water heaters. The only water that remains in a Tankless Water Heater at all times is the water that fills up the heat exchanger coils.

The water savings are instantaneous, as a home no longer needs to keep water at a high temperature at all times. This has the potential to save money for consumers on two fronts: It requires the use of less water in a home, and it also lowers energy use. (Source: www.greenandsave.com)
