It's been a long winter, and our wallets have taken a hit keeping our homes warm and cozy. Did you know that there are government rebates available to upgrade the energy efficiency of your home?

If your water heater looks like this it might be time to upgrade. An aging tank is likely much less efficient than a newer model. Also as tanks age they are more likely to leak.
