If every U.S. household replaced just one incandescent light bulb with an ENERGY STAR qualifed compact fluorescent bulb, it would save enough energy to light about 3 million homes for a year and save more than $650 million in annual energy costs.
Under the Energy Policy Act of 2005, builders can earn a tax credit of $2000 for highly efficient homes, and businesses can earn a tax deduction for efficient, new or retrofitted commercial buildings.
Households that replace existing equipment with ENERGY STAR qualified products can cut annual energy bills by 30 percent or more than $600 per year.
Duct tape works well on lots of things, but it often fails when used on ductwork! Use mastic (a gooey substance applied with a paintbrush) to seal all exposed ductwork joints in areas such as attic, crawlspace or basement. Insulate ducts to improve your heating system's efficiency and your own comfort.
