You already know insulation, storm windows and even weather-stripping,
will reduce your fuel bill. But did you know families can receive
assistance to weatherize their homes and apartments at no charge
if you meet certain income guidelines? States allocate dollars to
nonprofit agencies for purchasing and installing energy-related
repairs, with the average grant being $2,000 per year! The elderly
and families with children get first dibs.
