Electric bill out of control?- Energy Efficiency Upgrades & Rebates

As Realtors, we have an interest in "Green homes", and energy saving options for homeowners. As homeowners, we want to see our bills be as LOW AS POSSIBLE!! Our attic insulation is the original, from 1979...which falls FAR below the current standard used in new homes. The good news is, we can get financial assistance for upgrading to the current standard! Simply schedule to have Tampa Electric come out to your home, and they will inspect what's currently in place, and give you a certificate good for $200. Give this to a contractor that installs the product and they claim the $200 back from Tampa Electric and take it off your bill. So how can that look in reality? We have Daniels insulationhttp://www.danielinsulation.com/ installing R19 insulation, with the cost to us being $228 for 1400 sq.ft of roof !!! Best quote we received out of 5 companies, and they were recommended to us by Proficientairllc.com

Here's to a lower power bill, and the payback time will be months, not years!
