Killearn Lakes Hobby Room/ Garage and Pool!

This month we started working on a project in the Killearn Lakes area. For this customer, we are building a garage/hobby room, a pool (a lap pool and spa!) with a screened in pool cage.


We started with the foundation to build the hobby room followed by excavation in order to lay the pool in the ground.

 Here are some of the walls that are going up for the hobby room/garage.

A first look of the luxurious lap pool and spa!

Check back for more updates on this project soon!

• Windows and doors need caulking
• Windows on the southwest or west side of the house are fully exposed to the sun setting

Window & Door Tax Credit

There’s good news for consumers this tax return season. As part of the Taxpayer Relief Act, Congress has extended Federal Consumer Tax Credits for Energy Efficiency to 2013, along with making them retroactive for 2012. In addition, tax credits for geothermal heat pumps, small wind turbines, solar energy systems, and fuel cells are still available through 2016.
What does this mean for you? If you purchased certain energy-efficient products during 2012, or plan to in 2013, you may be eligible for a tax credit.
You may receive a tax credit for 10% of the cost up to $500, or a specific amount from $50-$300 for the six following product categories.

• Biomass stoves
• HVAC systems
• Insulation
• Roofing (metal & asphalt)
• Water heaters (non-solar)
• Windows and doors.

The products above must be installed in an existing home or your principal residence on or before December 31, 2013.
The following three product categories are eligible for a tax credit of 30% of the cost with no upper limit until December 31, 2016. These can be used on new or existing homes, and a principal residence or second home would both qualify (but not rentals).

• Geothermal heat pumps
• Small wind turbines (residential)
• Solar energy systems

Finally, you may receive a tax credit for 30% of the cost, up to $500 per .5 KW of power, for residential fuel cells and microturbine systems through December 31, 2016. These can be used on new or existing homes, but only a principal residence. Second homes and rentals do not qualify.
To receive these tax credits, you will need to submit the 5695 form with your 2012 taxes. To learn more information about specific requirements for each product and applying for these tax credits, please visit ENERGY STAR®.

Thinking of Remodeling Your Home?

Wondering what your options are? Our professional contractors can help you explore your renovation possibilites from floor to ceiling. The pictures below are after photos of a recent job. NRG replaced the siding, windows, back patio, front porch, and we also remodeled the kitchen and bathroom. Remodeling is a great way to increase the value and utility of your home, while saving money on energy costs! 

Back patio extension with stairwell into back yard

Fiberglass batts can insulate the wall cavity, but not the framing.

Uninsulated wood framing makes up to ¼ of the wall area of a home.

   

                                   The benefits of Generations Thermal Core Siding include:

Increased Energy Efficiency

• Wrapping your home with the Generations Insulated Exterior Wall System provides a blanket of protection over the un-insulated wood framing, and may provide energy cost savings of 20% or more annually.
• The need for other foam insulations is eliminated.

Increased R Value

• R-Value is the measurement of resistance to hot air moving towards cold air. Generations features R-Values ranging from 2.88 to 3.57. The higher the number the better the insulating property.

Energy Star Qualified

• Energy efficiencies are high enough that they contribute to less energy generation. Less energy production contributes to a cleaner environment.

Reduced Noise Transmission

• Foam lamination reduces noise from outside the home.
