You know the old saying, "if you don't know where you're going then any road will get you there?" It's really true when you think about trying to keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. You have to have a strategy and tackle the projects one by one to start to see some results. If not, random improvements here and there may not bring the results you're expecting.

Because of limited time, energy and money, typically we can't tackle all of the energy-related renovations we know we need to make all at once. That's where having a good road map comes into play. And don't forget about the federal tax credit that's available for energy efficiency projects like insulation, windows, central air and heat pumps available through 2010.

Beat the heat and save money on your taxes
