New tax credits can lower the cost of energy-saving improvements to your home. From basements to attics, the federal government wants homeowners to save energy year-round. They're even willing to pitch in with tax credits for energy efficient improvements like replacing an aging furnace or drafty windows and doors.

Thanks purplerain! I'm thinking about doing some improvements before summer hits to try cut our air conditioning bills down. I'll keep this in mind. :)

The closest I'll be to affording home improvements will be putting up thick plastic over the windows. I don't think the tax office will need to worry about my giant claim there LOL.

That does save your AC though, doesn't it! We have a really draughty bedroom window that's great for. It doesn't face anywhere that anybody could see it so I don't care. I always get out the polythene for that.
