			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img hspace=5 vspace=5 align='left' src='http://www.pixplugin.com/images/system-rebates-systems-cooling-energy/system.jpg'><p>if you are just startning the search for a <a title="finding a way to save on your new hvac system | fshac resource center" href="http://www.fshac.com/finding-a-way-to-save/#utm_source=feed&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=feed"><strong>new warmthing or cooling system</strong></a> right now, you missed out on the federal rebates. these incentives finally expired with the arrival of the new season, and many houseowners are kicking yourself for not acting sooner. however, if you reside in the <strong>chicagoland </strong>area or if you buy a lennox system from a professional, you can still scrounge up to major savings! local gas companies like nicor and people’s gas have been offering consumers rebates on <a title="furnace heating| fshac resource center" href="http://www.fshac.com/category/heating/furnace/#utm_source=feed&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=feed"><strong>energy efficient  warmthings </strong></a>and <a title="cooling | fshac resource center" href="http://www.fshac.com/category/cooling/#utm_source=feed&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=feed"><strong>cooling systems</strong></a>, and when that energy efficient  system is from lennox, you can get even more cash back in rebates from the manufacturer. now is still a good time to buy! a professional can get you the most back but you must <strong>act fast.</strong></p>
<h3>replace both and conserve more!</h3>
<p>unless you have already replaced one of the systems in the<strong> past 5 seasons</strong>, you may want to go ahead and replace both systems at the same time. this will ensure that you get matching systems that will work well with one another and it will assist you maximize savings. purchasing a warmthing alone can get you up to $200 in gas company rebates, but purchasing a warmthing and cooling system together could earn you <strong>up to $800 in rebates</strong> on qualifying systems.<span id="more-1754"></span></p>
<h2>lennox offers giant savings</h2>
<p>you can’t just go out and buy any <strong>ancient warmthing and cooling system</strong> and expect the gas companies to give you cash back. the whole point of the program is to make energy efficient systems more attractive to buyers. the houseowner is then willing to spend the cash on the more expensive system and energy waste within that house is decreased dramatically. when you make your new system a <strong>lennox house comfort system</strong> from a professional, you can conserve even more on this upgrade. lennox is offering their own rebates on their energy efficient  systems that can decrease the cost of these<strong> high tech systems</strong> down to levels that you would pay normally for systems that are not nearly as efficient.</p>
<h3>get the most with a professional</h3>
<p>all of these rebates are great, but <em>do they really matter if you don’t know how to take advantage of them?</em> have <strong>a professional warmthing and cooling</strong> do the work for you. we will locate you the perfect energy efficient  heating and cooling system for your house and then we will search for rebates. our experts know the ins and outs of these rebate programs and can guide you through with ease. in the end you will have the<strong> highest efficiency system</strong> in your house at the best possible price!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img hspace=5 vspace=5 align='right' src='http://www.pixplugin.com/images/basement-your-space-professional-laundry/basement.jpg'><p><strong>a professional house services</strong> has put up many examples of <a title="modest basement refinishing projects | four seasons home services" href="http://www.fourseasonshomeservices.com/refinishing-projects/"><strong>reconstructing projects</strong></a> that we have performed around the town. they show a wide spectrum of works from the minor changes that improve functionality to total redesigns of a particular living space. one area of the house that we have found to be immensely popular when it comes to <strong>reconstructing projects</strong> is the basement. most houses are built without a finished basement and the space can easily go to waste if you don’t have it set up for functionality. depending on your budget, a professional can do everything from cleaning up the space to full blown<a title="basement refinishing projects from four seasons home services" href="http://www.fourseasonshomeservices.com/basement-refinishing/"><strong> basement refinishing</strong></a>. we have a project for every budget and we can show you how to optimize the use of your basement right now!</p>
<h2>make your basement more functional</h2>
<p>many houseowners just use the basement for<strong> extra storage, laundry</strong>, and maybe as a space for the <strong>deep freezer</strong>. although these may be areas of the house that no one else sees, it doesn’t mean that they should be dark, dingy, and unpleasant. most unfinished basements don’t offer the houseowner much use or functionality. however, a<a title="interior remodeling from four seasons home services chicago, il" href="http://www.fourseasonshomeservices.com/interior-remodeling/"><strong> a professional reconstructing team</strong></a> can shine a light on your basement and truly revolutionize the way you use the space.<span id="more-2216"></span></p>
<h3>a laundry area to be proud of!</h3>
<p>if the basement is where you do the laundry, why not make the space a little more pleasant. have a professional install a <strong>drop ceiling</strong> to hide the pipes and wiring that may run through the basement. how about some extra lighting and a new, even floor to give the area a polished appearance? we have taken even the<strong> smallest budgets</strong> and worked wonders with the basement. from workout areas to laundry areas you don’t have to hide from your guests, <strong>a professional</strong> can transform the way you use your basement. don’t let this space go to waste and call a professional now!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img hspace=5 vspace=5 align='left' src='http://www.pixplugin.com/images/tile-professional-many-house-your/tile.jpg'><p>nearly every house has tile somewhere in it, and very many of those houses have tile that is horribly outdated or in disarray.  a professional is on a mission to rid these houses of their <a title="what four seasons can do with tile| fshac resource center" href="http://www.fshac.com/four-seasons-tile/#utm_source=feed&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=feed"><strong>tile issues</strong></a> and our <a title="home services| fshac resource center" href="http://www.fshac.com/category/home-services/#utm_source=feed&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=feed"><strong>house services</strong></a> division is equipped to do so. whether you need a simple cracked tile repaired or a whole floor redone, you will be amazed by what a<a title="installation| fshac resource center" href="http://www.fshac.com/category/installation/#utm_source=feed&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=feed"><strong> a professional carpenter</strong></a> can do with tile, and we can do it in your house. many tiling mistakes are made simply because the work was not completed by a professional. don’t let these things happen in your house:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">surfaces weren’t prepared</span></strong>:      before the tile is laid in any particular application, the area needs to      be thoroughly cleaned and prepared. many houseowners locate out the hard way      that their installer did not prepare the surface before laying their tile.      the surface of the tiles will be <em><strong>uneven </strong></em>and many times tiles won’t adhere      to the surface properly.</li>
<li><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">cheap adhesives</span></strong>: in an      effort to increase their profits, less legitimate companies will cut      corners by purchasing cheap adhesives. the houseowner doesn’t locate this out      until all of the tiles start to <strong>shift, pop up</strong>, and <em><strong>crack</strong></em>. quality      materials are a staple of the a professional name.<span id="more-1771"></span></li>
<li><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">poor grouting</span></strong>: laying out      grout is a tedious process that cannot be rushed. <strong>a professional </strong>will take      the time and our carpenters have the skill needed to lay the grout      properly so that the results you expected are what you get in the end.</li>
<li><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">crooked tiling</span></strong>: one of the      simplest mistakes to avoid involves laying the tile without ensuring      straight lines. a professional uses batterns to make sure that your tile is laid      in<strong> perfectly straight lines.</strong></li>
</ul>
