Getting $ to Go Green: De-Mystifying “Cash for Caulkers”

You’ve probably heard about the “Cash-for-Caulkers” program that was recently passed in the House and is likely to make it to the Senate this summer. It’s a good first start in helping people get the money they need to start getting to work on retrofitting their homes and businesses to make them more energy efficient.

Houston Neal of HVAC Software Advice just put up a great blog post that helps demystify the different rebates in the bill that could become available to homeowners. Click the link above to check out the info and make sure to pass it along to handy friends or family (and remember, this October 10 is the Global Work Party — the perfect time to put some of these incentives into action!)
