Federal Tax Credits are Expiring Soon. Heating and AC use about half of a home’s energy, so drafts around doors and windows are wasting energy and raise your bills! Check out a thermal camera from the library or hire a professional for energy audit (eligible for a federal tax credit of up to $150!)
