Low Impact Living: How the Stimulus Bill Can Help Green Your Home
If you’ve long longed to green your home but never felt you had the money to do so, get ready to take action. Obama’s new stimulus plan, signed into law last Tuesday, might give you just the extra financial nudge you need to undertake that eco-project you’ve had in mind.
First of all, the new stimulus plan will give you a tax credit for 30% of the costs, up to $1,500 total, for these eco-improvements on a property (via Associated Press):
- Getting new energy-efficient furnaces, air conditioners, or windows
- Replacing leaky windows
- Putting more insulation into attics.
