You want to get a tune-up for your furnace every year and regularly replace filters. That can help a great deal.

We had an older furnace for several years and were looking at the need to replace it in the coming years. After seeing the expectations about the high energy costs this winter, we decided to replace the furnace now, rather than wait.

We're in the business of investing in renewable energy projects, including wood-fired generating plants. Berlin, at this point, is one strong interest.

There are very simple ways to do this. You can literally use your hand and on a cold day, feel the cold air rushing in where you have gaps or leaks.

With the serious energy problems we will face this winter, what DOE is proposing is like shutting down the FEMA regional offices before the next hurricane. These are the extension agents of energy efficiency, and we should be adding to rather than cutting their ranks.

We're not going through an energy crisis, so people aren't focused on the loss of energy as much as we used to, ... But if people could see some of these amazing savings on a monthly basis, they could use that money for something more important.
