Energy Hogs
Energy Hogs are nasty critters that hide all over your home and pig out on wasted energy. To outsmart the Energy Hogs, you have to beat those nasty oinkers at their own game. The first step to taking a whole-house energy-efficiency approach is to find out which parts of your house need the most help. A home energy survey can help suggest the most effective ways for you to reduce your energy costs. You can conduct a simple home energy audit yourself here http://www.energyhog.org/adult/audit.htm . When making energy home improvements, you may be eligible for a tax credit. President Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which offers consumer tax credits for energy efficient home improvements and energy efficient vehicles. The Act includes a home tax credit with an overall cap of $500 to reimburse homeowners for specific home improvements.
