solar and wind power for the home

by admin on February 9, 2010

Does anyone know of grant programs to convert my old house with alternative energy?

I am a substitute teacher on a limited income and want convert solar energy and wind power, if possible. The house was built in the 1920s. Please only serious answers!

The first step is to air condition (nsulate i) of your home for subsidies in most cities to do this. There are renuable energy subsidies and tax credits for energy efficient heating, cooling and insulation until the end of 2007. A conversion is easy to install a solar water heater. Also consider passive solar heating.
