Financing for energy efficient retrofits to commercial buildings, including HVAC upgrades, is now available in West Palm Beach, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Lantana, Mangonia Park and Tequesta through a new Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program. There is little or no upfront cost to commercial property owners who can finance the entire cost of a new high-efficiency system and other energy improvements. The cost is paid over time as a non ad valorem assessment on the property tax bill. Learn how your customers can take advantage of this financing to pay for projects that may save them a great deal of money in the long run. If your customers are postponing upgrades due to the cost, let them know about the program. Become a registered contractor by visiting www.floridagreenenergyworks.com.

After her 90th Birthday, Marie found that shopping for Christmas gifts had become too difficult, so she decided to send checks to everyone instead. On each card she wrote, "Buy your own present," and she mailed them early. Marie enjoyed the usual flurry of family festivities.
