A Little Effort Can Pay Big Dividends
The average Iowa family spends more than half of its annual household energy
bill on heating and cooling. That’s a significant number, but you can dramatically
reduce these costs—up to 20 percent, according to ENERGY STAR®—by making
some simple energy-saving weatherization and insulation improvements to your
home. In addition—with a little attention to proper ventilation—you can protect
your home from moisture damage year-round, reduce problems caused by ice dams
on the roof during the winter and significantly cut summer cooling costs. As a
bonus, these projects can extend the life of your home and may increase the resale value of your property.
If you like to fix things around the house, you can handle many of the projects suggested in this book and make the most of your energy-improvement budget. However, don’t hesitate to call a professional for help if you’d rather not do the work yourself; the dollars gained through energy savings in upcoming years will be worth
the expense.
