Weekly Energy Saving Tip If you’re a homeowner with an ongoing list of improvements you plan to make “someday,” get out your lists, because “someday” has arrived! Tax credits for home energy efficiency upgrades and renewable energy systems can make these improvements more affordable than ever, while adding value, comfort, and efficiency to your home. If you made any of the eligible improvements to your home in 2023, make sure you claim them on your 2023 taxes. If doing your 2023 taxes has prompted your tax planning for next year, now is the time to review the list of eligible improvements and start planning your strategy.

PERSONAL STORIES from Weston, Wayland and Lincoln residents November 16, 7:00 p.m. via Zoom Register here According to the U.S. Department of Energy, more than half of a home’s energy bill is spent on heating and cooling.

Once a home is insulated, the benefits of other energy-saving investments, like new heating and cooling systems, grow. And an energy efficient home is not only better for your pocketbook, it’s better for the environment too! Three local residents will tell us about their own efforts to drive down fossil fuel consumption and decarbonize their homes and properties. In each case they took a systems approach by making several improvements to their houses such that both their overall CO2 production and energy costs went down.
