Available technology can plug major energy leaks.
You could go away for a fabulous long weekend, see 40 movies with a friend, save for college, or buy the latest video games, attire, and those cool shoes. Households that replace existing equipment with Energy Star products can cut annual energy bills by 30 percent. It pays to deal with air leaks first to get the maximum savings from your heating and cooling systems and other energy-efficiency measures. Start with attic insulation, followed by exterior and basement walls, floors, and crawl spaces. If you re shopping for new windows, glass doors, or skylights, look for the Energy Star label.
