Probably never, and yet if you have a tank-based water heater a huge percentage of your monthly utility bill goes to heating water at times when you don’t need it.  Tankless* (or “on-demand”) water heaters can save you money in three major [...] ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One great source of home energy usage is your electric appliances. Between lighting, refrigerators and the numerous other machines Americans use, about 30 percent of your home energy usage goes to power appliances. And while you may not be willing to give any of them up entirely, you can reduce your consumption anyway, by using [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Low-emittance - or Low-E - windows are an increasingly common way to control temperature within the building envelope. Traditionally, windows were accepted as being &#8220;energy losers&#8221; - they lacked the insulation found in the rest of the building frame, so they were prime locations for heat to escape in winter or for cool air to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Along with weatherstripping, caulking is one of two essential techniques for sealing air leaks in your home. It is ideal for sealing gaps that don&#8217;t open and shut - for instance, where your fireplace or an air vent is built into the wall. It works best where cracks or gaps are less than ¼ inch [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Weatherstripping is an ideal solution to air leaks at the edges of windows and doors. Affixing a material to the space between door and window closures, or on their sides, can stop the leaks. There are many different types of weather-stripping materials; foam, felt, metal and vinyl are the common ones.
Foam is often the easiest [...]]]></description>

Many people believe certain things about home energy consumption that are just not true. These &#8220;Energy Myths&#8221; have often been inherited from one generation to the next. &#8220;Grandma always said&#8230;&#8221; is the typical preface to many [...] ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The term &#8220;solar panel&#8221; refers either to panels that heat water or to those that power electric devices. Water-heating panels have been around at least since the 1920s, but their prominence has recently been diluted by the increasing commercial success of photovoltaic (electric) panels. Whichever type you&#8217;re interested in, the solar panel will be the [...]]]></description>
