Energy Incentives For Your Rental Home
Aug 04, 2014
There are several ways to save energy in your home. From appliances to windows, doors, furnaces, water heaters, and light bulbs just to name a few. The state, federal government, and some utility companies encourage us to use lower energy rated appliances and will often times give rebates or tax credits, for purchases of qualifying products.
It is up to the consumer to research which products qualify. In Oregon you can check the
Energy Trust Of Oregon
site for cash incentives as well as information on how to schedule a free home energy review by a trained and certified contractor.
Another great way to check if an appliance is or will be covered under one of these plans is to go directly to the manufactures web page to see which appliances they have that will qualify for some or all of the many incentives offered. For example if your interested in purchasing a new high efficiency furnace you could go to the Bryant webpage and get information on which units will qualify for tax credits or rebates.
Energy star products can be found at the Energy Star website where you can learn which products qualify, how to apply and what forms you will need to fill out after your purchase and install. Forms are submitted with your taxes for that year for tax write offs and rebates usually have a time limit such as 90 days etc. Check the Forms page of the Energy Star website for more information on how to apply.

If you purchase an appliance, furnace or water heater that uses natural gas you can also check the
NW Natural Gas website
for incentives that they may offer. The store or contractor may have information on which products qualify as well so check with them when your shopping around.
Appliances that earn an Energy Star rating may cost a bit more upfront, but in an overwhelming majority of cases, their operating costs yield big savings over the lifetimes of the products. And while you can’t bank on the government bringing back the now-expired 2011 tax credits, anything is possible in an election year, especially when energy costs are an important voter issue. Regardless, the facts show that Energy Star is working for the betterment of the environment while simultaneously lowering electric bills. Even in our fractured political climate, that’s a platform everyone can agree upon — and incentive enough for all of us to make some major changes around the house not just in 2014, but also in the years to come as well.

Are you in the market for a new job? Whether you’re looking to follow a passion or start a new career the first thing you will need to do is work on your resume. When you’re applying for new jobs from apartments on Cable Ranch Rd, the resume is likely the first thing a hiring manager or recruiter will look at. Depending on how long you’ve been at your current job, there is a good chance it’s been a while since you’ve last updated your resume. We’re focusing this blog on resume writing tips to help you get the ball rolling and move forward in your career. Let’s make your resume shine with these three resume tips! When you finish reading through, please be sure to share the link to this page with your friends and neighbors at your Cable Ranch Rd. apartments! Keywords Before your application even makes it to a person it’s highly likely that it first goes through a computer program to analyze whether or not you’re a good fit for the position. Most companies do this to help narrow down applicants, so it’s important your resume hits what they’re looking for. That’s where the keywords come into play. As you draft your resume, incorporate phrases and keywords listed in the job listing. As you apply for different positions it is likely you will need to tweak your resume based on the specific job, but the foundation of the document will stay consistent. Just be sure you are keeping the copy fresh so your resume doesn’t look like a copy and paste of the listing! Use Active Language You want your resume to highlight your best accomplishments, while also being concise. Since these are typically written in chronological order, be sure to write in active voice for the section of the role you are currently in. It should look something like this — “I live at apartments on Cable Ranch Rd” instead of “I lived at apartments on Cable Ranch Rd”. Starting your accomplishments with verbs will help your resume stay concise and keep track of your tone of voice. Reference Performance Reviews It can be hard to know where to start when writing your review. If you’ve completed performance reviews at your current job, referencing those can be a great starting point. Performance reviews do a great job at reminding you of all the accomplishments you’ve had.
