I was invited to a conference at the local library to explain how the new energy tax rebate worked. I was really looking forward to it because I was thinking of putting in new replacement windows anyway. If you can get an energy tax rebate in the mean time, then why not. I just wanted to understand the whole thing to make sure I would receive the credit.

I could not believe how many people were there to learn about the same thing. I was glad I had arrived very early because there were people standing to hear the conference. They did a wonderful job of explaining everything and answered all of the questions that people had. I felt as though I had learned a lot that night. I called the company that was going to install my replacement windows and asked them to do the job the following week.

They let me know that they could work me in to their schedule and I was very happy. The whole job only took about three days and then I had my new replacement windows and earned an energy tax rebate also. I was so excited about saving energy that I replaced my appliances shortly after the replacement windows were put in. All of the new appliances had that little energy star on them. My heating and cooling bills should be much lower and the electricity that I am saving by putting in new appliances should show up on the bill too.
