Data from sprayfoamdirect . com -$1500 tax credit -US DOE states 40% can be saved by sealing air leaks and improving insulation. -Product is mold, moisture, and pest resistant. -Analyzed different thickness of spray foam, estimating double the amount of floor square footage for wall square footage. (Used value of 5000 s.f.) -1’’ gives an r-value of 7, which is twice the r-value per inch of fiberglass. -For cost effectiveness, 1” of spray foam will be used to seal air leaks, the rest filled with typical fiberglass insulation. -Cost for spray foam is $5700, and payback period is 142 months, cost of batting insulation is $1615, and sheetrock estimate is $2000 with labor. Total is $9315. Payback period, at $550 savings per

-$1500 tax credit -Avg. electricity usage is 888 kWh per month. -With 5.5 hrs avg. daily sunlight, wattage required to be completely off grid is 7000 watts, which would require 54 130-watt panels. -Price for on-grid system would be $25,480, with a payback period of 19 years. -For stated goal of on grid usage of 388 kWh per month, leaving 500 kWh for solar, requirement is now 3000 watts. -Price is now $11271, that’s $715 savings per year, with a payback period of 13.67 years. -These panels also include a 12 VDC output for battery charging applications. -A 12 V wind generator can produce 40 kWh per month, at a cost of only $905.

Tax Incentives Assistance Project 

Homeowners can receive Residential Energy Efficiency Incentives worth 30% of the cost, with a $1,500 cap per home. The tax credit is only on the cost of the materials for:  Insulation and Sealing  Replacement Windows , Skylights , and External Doors  Window Films  Roofs

http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=tax_credits.tx_index#s1

Low-e Windows High-performance windows have at least two panes of glass and a low-e (low emissivity) coating.  Allow light to pass through, but reflect back radiant heat.  Cut heating/cooling cost by 10% to 15%. 

Roofs Adding a roof with reflective coating can save 10-15% in cooling costs  30% tax credit, up to $1500, on energy efficient asphalt & metal roofs 

Ducts  Leaky

or improperly insulated ducts can lead to energy losses of 25-40%

Consumerenergycenter.org

Doors  Properly

sealed doors can save up to 11% on energy costs  Federal tax credit of 30% of cost (up to $1500) for installation of energy efficient doors

Furnaces AFUE= annual fuel utilization efficiency Electric furnaces, because they have no chimney, have an AFUE of 95%-100% Old furnaces have a continuous pilot light, which wastes energy, instead of an electric ignition.
