Saving You Money: Energy Efficiency Programs
As you begin identifying possible home projects to improve energy efficiency, increase your comfort and decrease your carbon footprint, you should first look into available financial options and rebates offered by your local utility company. Many states require utilities to offer energy efficiency programs. These programs can range from incentives, free home energy assessments, to rebates for the purchase of energy efficient appliances and equipment.
