Financial Incentives for Home Energy-Efficiency Improvements

Even though energy-efficient products usually save consumers money over the products’ lifespan, their initial cost is often significantly higher than that of conventional models. To reduce these initial costs, utility companies and federal and state government agencies offer various tax credits, rebates, and other incentives to encourage home energy-efficiency improvements and the use of renewable energy sources.
