Energy efficiency grants for homes - are you thinking of doing any upgrades?
Now that the federal gevernment has released the details of it's energy efficiency grants program, I'm looking to do some upgrades. I've been planning these for a while, since my home was built in the fourties and is terribly innefficient.
Probably a new furnace and hot water heater, since I've heard those are the biggest bang-for-buck items.
Anyone thinking of these?

Yeah, programs like this aren't really fair in that regard, as they only cover NEW changes.
I'm looking at a new furnace and water heater for my house. I would like new windows, but the rebate is very small and the costs are huge. That will wait.
BTW,if you want to look up how much of a rebate you might get, check out this page:

It's not as much as I would have thought.
Also, I haven't found a contractor that can do the initial evaluations yet. They all say that the government hasn't given out the details yet.
