New tax credits are available for homeowners, making this the best time to turn your house into an energy-efficient home. Homeowners who purchase and install eligible products, including energy-efficient windows, doors, roofs, insulation, and heating and cooling equipment in existing homes may receive a tax credit for 30% of the cost, up to $1,500, for improvements completed through December 31, 2010. For a complete summary of tax credits and requirements, visit http://www.energystar.gov and click on “Tax Credits for Energy Efficiency.”
You can expect a 3%-5% increase or decrease in energy use for every degree you change the thermostat.

Much energy is wasted by air escaping and coming in through cracks around windows and doors. To reduce this waste, just go to your local home improvement store and pick up some weatherstripping to install yourself. It’s a fairly quick and easy task that will save you money over time.
