Tough Economic Times

If you are feeling the pinch of this economy like so many, there may be some local programs that can help out a bit. Many of the local energy companies are offering help in retrograding homes or businesses, subsidizing energy costs and even upgrading weatherization. To find out more, please check out the Flex Your Power page on http://www.fypower.org/feature/lowincome/. They provide a list of companies that are offering income-qualified programs to help out local homeowners. California provides an abundance of resources for homeowners, why not take advantage of them? These initiatives are also helpful for the environment (as well as your pocket book) if we all use less energy, it's better all around. If you're looking for other ways to help the environment or to save on your energy bills, fypower.org (flex your power) is a great place to start. This California non-profit provides tips and tricks for homeowners seasonally and keeps a database of rebates and other economic incentives.
