Energy Saving Tips From The U.S. Department of Energy

We've had a few cold snaps here in Naples, Florida this winter, but nothing like up north. In many parts of the country, temperatures are COLD and heating bills are rising, but there are things you can do to keep warm AND lower your heating costs. 

Take advantage of heat from the sun. During the day, open curtains on windows with southern exposure to allow sunlight to naturally heat your home.

Cover drafty windows. Use a heavy-duty, clear plastic sheet on a frame or tape clear plastic film to the inside of your window frames. Make sure the plastic is sealed tightly.

Adjust the temperature. When you're home and awake, set your thermostat as low as is comfortable; when you're asleep or out of the house, turn your thermostat back 10 - 15 degrees for eight hours.

Lower water heating costs. Water heating can account for 14% to 25% of the energy consumed in your home. Turn down the temperature of your water heater to the warm setting (120 degrees F).

Emergency Econmic Stabilization Act of 2008

As of January 1, 2009 the federal law will expand and extend valuable tax credits to homeowners who make certain energy-efficient upgrades to their home. Benefits include lower energy bills, increased indoor comfort and reduced air pollution.

Energy efficient products eligible for the federal tax credits actually lower the amount of federal income taxes that you must pay.

*Please consult a tax advisor to ensure proper tax credits*

A Few Examples:

New Central Air or Heat Pump will give you a tax savings of $300 if Energy Star rated, but only some products qualify so be sure to check before making the big purchase.

New Windows will give you a tax savings of up to $200 if they are Energy Star rated.

A maximum tax credit of $500 can be given for home improvements.

In some parts of the country, consumers will also be eligible for utility or state rebates or state tax incentives for the same homes, vehicles and equipment.
