Have you been giving any thought lately as to how in the world you can possibly save a little money on your monthly expenses? I think we all have. Well, some of the alternative energy sources are a great idea.
Ed Begley, Jr., author of a new book called Ed Begley's Guide to Sustainable Living and star of the TV show Living With Ed, says there are 3 simple steps you can take to see if this might be right for you.
First, do a green home energy audit. You can do this by going online to energystar.gov or you can contact your local utility company or a professional green audit company and they will help point you in the right direction. This won't cost you a thing to do, so you have nothing to lose.
Second, take advantage of incentives at local, state and federal levels. The government wants you to use some of the renewable energy options that are available to you, so they are willing to pay money toward it, in the form of tax credits and rebates. All you have to do is apply for them. You can find more info on this at dsireusa.org or greenmadesimple.com.
Third, start small. There's no need to go all out at first and convert your entire house over to alternative energy sources. That can be costly and you may not be able to swing it. Don't be discouraged, though. You could start out by simply installing a couple of solar panels that would power your refrigerator and your hot water heater. Be creative.
We can all do our part to help out the environment, and it could also help to shrink our budgets at the same time. Now, I don't know about you, but that sounds good to me. Let Miller Housing Group know what we can do to help. We would love to help you get on the right track.
