I therefore feel a little guilty sending the following e-mail<br \/>\nand ask for your forgiveness up front. But, I hope you will see that<br \/>\nit is a win-win and that we can ALL benefit!<br \/>\nA few weeks ago at Hanover Day, I stopped at a booth for a company<br \/>\ncalled \u201cNext Step Living\u201d. The guy out front said two things that<br \/>\ncaught my attention\u2026 \u201cFREE\u201d and \u201cENERGY SAVINGS\u201d. One thing<br \/>\nled to another and I am therefore now writing to encourage you to sign<br \/>\nup for a free energy assessment for your home. If you are a National<br \/>\nGrid customer (which most of us in Hanover are), this is a free<br \/>\nservice that you technically pay for when you pay your bill whether<br \/>\nyou use it or not.<br \/>\nIf you have Next Step Living come and do a free energy assessment in<br \/>\nyour home, you will receive:<\/p>\n<p> A *No-Cost *home energy assessment (value $300)<br \/>\n *No-Cost*, high efficient CFL light bulbs installed in your home<br \/>\n *No-Cost* low-flow shower heads and installation as necessary<br \/>\n *No-Cost* programmable thermostat and installation<br \/>\n *75% instant discount up to $2,000* for any program eligible<br \/>\ninsulation work recommended at the visit<br \/>\n Access to the Heat Loan: a *0% interest loan for 7 years* that can be<br \/>\nused for upgrading heating and cooling systems, hot water heaters,<br \/>\nsolar hot water, or replacing single pane windows.<\/p>\n<p>To sign up for your home\u2019s free energy assessment, please click on<br \/>\nthis link:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/nextsteplivinginc.com\/NSLRef\/?referring=001C0000010DaBR&#038;general=Referral%20Program&#038;user=Dan<br \/>\nHoward<\/p>\n<p>If you click on that link to sign up and they come and do the<br \/>\nassessment, I will receive a $25 referral gift card! Such a deal!<br \/>\nThat\u2019s the win-win!<br \/>\nA few additional words about my energy assessment as long as you have<br \/>\nread this far (you must be interested because otherwise this would<br \/>\nsurely be over-kill!)\u2026Dan Howard (whose name appears in that link)<br \/>\nwas my \u201cHome Energy Advisor\u201d. He was friendly, professional and<br \/>\nthorough. He spent a couple or three hours at my house, climbed in my<br \/>\nattic to measure my insulation, tested my water heater, and installed<br \/>\nabout $300 worth of free light bulbs that will save me close to $200<br \/>\nin electricity costs per year. I didn\u2019t have any major upgrades that<br \/>\nwere recommended because I had done two similar energy assessments<br \/>\npreviously in the 20 years we have lived here, but I am here to tell<br \/>\nyou that the potential additional savings is enormous if you have<br \/>\nnever or rarely considered the energy efficiency of your home. After<br \/>\nthose previous two visits, we installed ceiling insulation and new<br \/>\nthermostats which brought our bills down considerably!<br \/>\nGood luck with your assessment (if you do one) and thanks in advance<br \/>\nfor clicking on the above link so that I get the credit. As a teacher<br \/>\nby trade, every little bit of additional income in the summertime<br \/>\nhelps, so I am most grateful for your consideration and support! <\/p>\n<p>For &#8220;Around Town on the Web&#8221;,<br \/>\nCathy H-B<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<br \/>\n&#8220;Around Town on the Web&#8221; (&#8220;ATOTW&#8221;) is a community service that has been<br \/>\nprovided to self-selected residents of the Town of Hanover since the spring<br \/>\nof 2004.<br \/>\nFor submission guidelines and answers to frequently asked questions about<br \/>\n&#8220;ATOTW&#8221;, please go to http:\/\/www.atotw.com.<br \/>\nTo search for archived &#8220;ATOTW&#8221; news, view the archive.<br \/>\nIf you would like to be added to this distribution list, click here.
