But with the arrival of winter and their first child, the Robertsons could no longer overlook the hidden air leaks and uninsulated walls, ceilings and floors in their home. Portable space heaters, thermal undershirts and wrapping up in blankets were part of everyday life. Help for Oil-Heated Homes Their first step was a free energy audit from the State Home Oil Weatherization (SHOW) program. The Robertsons got bids from three insulation and heating contractors and got a 6.5 percent SHOW loan to finance the improvements: insulation blown into the attic and walls, blanket insulation and ground cover installed under the floors, and a high-efficiency oil burner. The Robertsons paid $2,000 for the insulation work and $700 for the oil burner. They got a $400 SHOW rebate to defray part of the cost. Estimated energy savings of $250 a year will pay back the balance of their investment.

Extractions: A Job NEWS Search For Your Home For Your Business Storm Center Safety ... Family of Sites January 14, 2003 Let's start from the top with ceiling insulation. Florida homes built before 1982 may very well have inadequate ceiling insulation. Ceiling insulation is one of the single best investments a homeowner can make to improve the overall comfort of the home, save energy and keep electric bills down. You might also consider installing ceiling fans as a low cost, energy-saving investment, too. They help save energy dollars because you can raise the air conditioner's thermostat to an energy-conserving setting and still be cool in the room you're occupying. Ceiling fans can be used year-round, too. In winter, use the reverse mode to help bring warm air that tends to rise, down to the living space. Don't waste energy by leaving the fan on when you leave the room. Turn it off for additional savings. Install a programmable thermostat on the heating and air conditioning system to automate the task of raising and lowering the thermostat. Program it once and no one need remember (or forget) to adjust it. The cost of a programmable thermostat is around $50 at a home improvement store. This low-cost item can save you hundreds over the year.

To view illustrations, you can download the PDF version ( PDF 163 KB ) of this fact sheet ( Download Acrobat Reader ). See Related Links below for more publications on related topics, which aren't included in the PDF version. It's easier than you may think to enjoy the savings and comfort of an energy-efficient home. Since an energy-efficient home is cost-effective, there are financing programs available from mortgages to home improvement loans, which allow more people the opportunity to live in such a home. You can benefit from energy-efficient financing whether you're buying, selling, refinancing, or remodeling a home. If you're looking to buy an energy-efficient home, you can qualify for a better, more comfortable home because with lower utility costs, you can afford a slightly larger mortgage payment. You can also obtain financing to make energy-efficient improvements to an older home before moving in or to your existing home. And if you put your home on the market, you can use its energy efficiency as an attractive selling point. Home Energy Rating Most energy-efficient financing programs will encourage you to have an energy rating for your new or existing home, which will tell you and the lender how energy efficient it is. A rating typically involves an inspection by a professional energy rater who is certified under a nationally or state accredited home energy rating system (HERS). There are several options regarding HERS, so the type of HERS used will depend on where you live. Some states even have more than one HERS. Some of the organizations listed at the end of this fact sheet may be able to provide you with more information regarding HERS in your state. Here's an example of a
