A medida que se acerca el invierno, preparar tu casa puede ayudarte a mantenerte cómoda y ahorrar dinero. Además, considera pedir prestada 1 cámara térmica de la biblioteca para encontrar fácilmente los puntos exactos de tu casa por donde se está perdiendo más calor.

Federal Tax Credits are Expiring Soon.
Heating and AC use about half of a home’s energy, so drafts around doors and windows are wasting energy and raise your bills!
Check out a thermal camera from the library or hire a professional for energy audit (eligible for a federal tax credit of up to $150!)
