Energy costs are skyrocketing. Across the country, it’s more expensive than ever to heat and cool your home. This winter, the US Department of Energy estimates your heating costs will rise on average nearly 30 percent. Meanwhile, electricity prices are at a 41-year high. This increase is a bitter pill for most homeowners to swallow as they struggle with the worst inflation in decades and increasingly inclement weather extremes.
However, there is good news for homeowners looking to save on energy costs. A new government program is providing huge incentives to homeowners to make their homes more energy efficient. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) includes generous provisions for homeowners who upgrade their home’s energy efficiency. Via the IRA, the HOMES Rebate Program provides rebates based on the energy savings your upgraded home will achieve. For instance, homeowners that make changes cutting energy usage by at least 35 percent can get up to $4,000 in rebates. That amount is doubled for low- and middle-income households, who can get up to $8,000 in rebates.
Make sure any window or door you buy has the ENERGY STAR® seal.
Not only does the seal signify you’re getting the most energy efficient window or door available, but it’s also far more likely to be part of the IRA tax rebate program, because it meets strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency.

Remodeling your home to be more energy efficient is the best way to save on energy costs. Still, there are multiple ways to make sure you’re getting the most for your money. Window World’s helpful tips below highlight important steps you can take to still save even as energy costs rise. Here’s four things to keep in mind for energy efficiency in your home.
Leaky windows and the drafts under doors can cost you up to 20 to 30 percent of your climate control. Sealing leaks and using draft snakes or draft stoppers can make a big difference, as can ensuring weatherstripping around windows and doors is secure and in good condition.
Deal with air leaks and drafts.
Every day, building small habits can add up to significant savings. Turn out the lights when you leave the room. Turn your thermostat and your water heater settings down. Open the drapes to let the sunlight in. Make sure your windows are locked, not just closed. Replace your air filters. All these little things make a big difference.
Do the little things.
