Save
Hundreds of Dollars Every Year on Your Home Energy Bill
What
homeowner doesn't want to save money on energy costs? But how? Easy--go
to the Department of Energy's Home Energy Saver website, type in
your zip code, then answer some questions. What kind of heating
system? What kind of appliances do you use? How many occupants?
The Web-based software will make recommendations and tell you how
much money you can save. This may be a one-stop site, but it isn't
a one-time stop. As you put in energy-efficient windows, beef up
your insulation, and throw out your brother-in-law (just kidding),
the site will keep track of all the money you're saving.
