Upgraded electrical system from 100 Amps to 200 Amps; replaced wall A/C unit with central A/C; added 8" additional attic insulation; added attic exhaust fan to roof which makes attic much cooler in summer and lowers A/C costs; replaced wooden windows which had lead paint sashes with double-glazed aluminum windows; replaced back door and back storm door; added heavy living room drapes which keeps both heat and cold outside; thanks to Frederick County Refrigerator Exchange Program and am in the midst of replacing 1986 fridge with a much more energy efficient refrigerator

Recent I completed construction on a new home for my daughter. We intentionally spent nearly $10,000 on energy improvement to reduce the monthly reoccurring cost of operating the house. Comparing there new home to the previous home, they are saving $130 a month. The saving will pay for the improvements in 6.5 years. The nice thing is this house is so much more comfortable without any hot spots in the summer or cold rooms in the winter.
