Does anyone on my flist have information about whether Massachusetts offers tax credits for either solar panels or small wind turbines on one's house? The Last Homely Shack is in a very windy area and I think that would be a good choice, but I have no idea where to start looking.
Also, recommendations for places to purchase a new refrigerator would be most welcome. I have a good idea of what I want (Consumer Reports to the rescue again...and no, I do NOT want a refrigerator with an ice maker, as I almost never bother with ice and Roomie makes her own with water from her Pur pitcher), but where to buy it is another story.
Finally - does anyone have experience with those on-demand European style hot water heaters? My hot water heater is at least 11 years old and I know I'll have to replace it sooner rather than later. I've heard that the ones that produce hot water only when needed are ultimately less expensive and more environmentally friendly than a conventional one but do not know how easy one would be to find and/or service in these parts.
Thanks in advance for any advice people have. I'm not planning to live in this house forever, but I'd like to be comfortable, practical, and (God willing) energy-efficient while I do.
