Getting the Most for your Money

What's Your Biggest Bang-for-the-Buck?

Here's how to devise your high-impact Energy Plan, one that really maximizes your energy savings for the money invested. First, answer these questions:

1 - How much money do I spend on energy?

2 - Where are the greatest energy losses?

3 - How long will it take for an investment in energy efficiency to pay off in lower utility bills?

4 - What is my budget and how much time do I have to spend doing improvements? Should I do it myself or pay a contractor?
