But as beautiful as those icicles can be, they are also an indication that you might be experiencing a serious problem with your roof.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fiderio.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6599318&amp;post=47&amp;subd=fiderio&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There has been a lot of talk lately about the ending of the federal government’s $8,000 tax credit for new home buyers. But what about those of us who already own homes? Can we get a break too?

Yes, and our program is still going on. 

The federal government’s $1,500 Energy Tax Credit is still available for qualifying home improvements. That’s like getting a $1,500 discount on your project!

		<description><![CDATA[The Farmers’ Almanac has a long and mostly successful history of predicting weather patterns. This year’s Almanac calls for a cold and snowy winter here in New England. Good news for those who enjoy winter sports and snow-filled days. But bad news for homeowner’s faced with paying high energy costs to heat their homes.

		<description><![CDATA[We have written in the past about how certain home improvements can help you reduce your home heating costs. That is particularly important here in New England, where the furnace can sometimes “kick on” in late September and finally wheeze to a stop as late as the middle of May.

But home energy use does not stop during the summer months. In fact, for many people, some types of energy use accelerate when the weather gets warmer. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fiderio.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6599318&amp;post=38&amp;subd=fiderio&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
