As energy prices continue to rise, it pays to insulate-in more
ways than one. Adding more insulation to your home or building can
put money in your pocket.
In addition to lower utility bills, according to the EPA, for
every $1 homeowners saved on annual fuel bills due to
energy-efficient home improvements, their home's value jumped by
$20 or more.
Some local governments and many utility companies offer
consumers cash incentives for simply upgrading their insulation. In
addition, the 2005 Energy Bill outlines several
financial incentives for home owners, home builders and commercial
building owners alike for making energy-saving improvements,
including adding insulation.
Some of the highlights are:
- Tax credits worth $500 each year for 3 years for home owners
who make energy-saving upgrades
- Tax credits for home builders up to $2,000 per home for
exceeding certain energy conservation measures
- A per-square-foot tax deduction for commercial building owners
based on energy efficiency improvements
