TIPS TO LOWER YOUR ELECTRIC BILL

When I get my Electric bill I open the envelope slowly and peek inside to see what the amount is. Then I usually shake my head and stuff it back into the envelope and throw it in my bills pile.

Here are a few tips that can reduce your bill:
1. Add heavy insulation to roof and walls
2. Plant trees to shield the house from the sun or install dual pane glass windows
3. Caulk and weather-strip doors and windows
4. Seal air leaks
5. Replace your incandescent bulbs with the new compact fluorescent bulbs

In our home this year we replaced the old leaking A/C ducts and we did see a reduction in the amount of our KWH used.

FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS

I just received information about this loan program for “first time home buyers” from Capital City Bank. Bond money available for Leon and Jefferson County with an interest rate of 5.19%, 30-year fixed rate mortgage (rates & terms subject to change daily). For detailed info and terms contact: Carol Fraser, office# (850) 671-0652 and her email: cfraser@ccbg.com

WARNING for New Home Buyers/Owners

Watch out for an official looking letter in the mail telling you that it’s important to have a certified copy of your property Deed. Consumer Reports warns that the companies are charging as much as $100. Don’t be taken by this scam. Chances are you did get a copy of your Deed at closing or mailed to you shortly after but, if you didn’t all you have to do is contact your county Clerk for a copy at a cost of around $10. FYI: The closing agent records the Deeds at the courthouse of where the property is located and will be in their Deed books if for any reason you ever need copies.
