Get Paid to Make Your Home Eco Friendly

There are many rebate programs available to make your home more ‘green compliant’. There are programs funded by the government; federal, state and local. If you create more power than you use and you are still connected to the grid, your extra power will funnel back to the electric company and they will pay you for it.  If you are curious about how much power you use, check out this electricity usage monitor.
 
There are tax credits available for window and door conversions, to green compliant products and insulation, installation being between January 1, 2009 and Dec. 31. 2010. Homeowners can claim up to thirty percent of the cost of the product (not including installation).  Many of the water providers are giving rebates for changing to drought tolerant foliage and décor. The California Energy Commission’s ‘Emerging Renewables Program’ is providing financial incentives for homeowners that install qualifying systems on their property. As an example of qualifying systems, you would be installing wind generators, solar devices or fuel cell systems. The incentive given would depend on the size of the system, the technology involved and the installation method used.
 
Do a search in your area for all rebates pertaining to the type of power system you would like to install. Search not only local, but all the way up to federal assistance. The more time you put into your research, the more likely you will get maximum benefit from rebate programs and financial assistance.
