O
N BEHALF OF THE HOUSING and Building Association of Northwestern Colorado, we would like to welcome you to the 28th Annual Parade of Homes. Once again we bring you Grand Junctions finest builders, designers, trade contractors and material suppliers, who will be showcasing the latest and greatest in home products and design and invite you to experience the parade homes they have created just for you. This year we have 9 traditional parade homes that will be furnished and land-
scaped to delight all. These newly built homes offer a little something for everyone. Ranging in size from 1300 square feet to just over 4000 square feet, we think you will enjoy every inch of these homes. Our “Green” homes are sure to be a favorite this year as well. Come see how these new homes are more energy efficient and constructed with resource conserving materials and techniques to save your money. Your “Parade of Opportunity” awaits you with additional homes we have added to the parade this year. Along with the 9 Traditional Parade Homes, we have
added 19 additional homes that are available here in the Grand Valley for your viewing. This market we are in truly is an opportunity of a lifetime! Prevailing economic conditions impacting housing will change in the near future. When those changes occur, buying conditions will not be as favorable. We wanted to make sure you had the opportunity to see other new homes that are also available to you. The reasons the “opportunity of a lifetime” exists and new home buyers should feel a sense of urgency in regard to taking advantage of it are factually based:
Building material costs are at an all time low which means new home buyers have the opportunity to take advantage of great builder pricing on new homes of exceptional value. Mortgage loans are available at historically low inertest rates which means new home buyers have the opportunity to secure and lock in financing at rates not expected to be available again in the future. An $8,000 tax credit is available for a limited time only for first-time home buyers (if you haven’t owned a principal residence in the last 3 years) who take advantage of the opportunity to buy and close on the sale of a new home by December 1, 2009. An investment in a new home today provides new home buyers the opportunity to establish a significant hedge against the impact of projected future inflation.
We encourage you to view as many homes as you can…talk with the onsite representatives about the areas, the builder, home pricing, available financing, “green” home advantages, and any incentives that are being offered. But whatever you do, don’t pass up this “opportunity of a lifetime” to buy your new dream home now! A special thanks to our sponsors for their contribution to this parade. And thanks to every committee member that participated in putting this event on…we couldn’t have done it without you!

has added a “green” twist to the event. “Residential ‘green’ building is no longer a trend; it is the future of building,” said HBA executive officer Debbie Rich. “Our featured homes in this year’s Parade will show you the advantages of going ‘green.’ These homes surpass standard homes in terms of comfort, energy efficiency, moisture control, air quality and durability. We invite you to come see what ‘green’ can do for you.” The traditional Parade of Homes and the Parade of Opportunity homes will be open on Friday, Sept. 18, Saturday, Sept. 19 and Sunday, Sept. 20 from 10 a.m.7 p.m. The nine marquis homes will require a $10.00 ticket which can be purchased from area City Market stores.

HOUSE DESCRIPTION A home you must experience! This simple and efficient 1,676 sq. ft home flows beautifully. The 3 bed/2 bath layout is nicely upgraded with solid granite countertops and solid wood floors. RV parking is included for all those extras. Priced to sell at $274,900 it is affordable quality. Every wall in the house is fully insulated for soundproofing, and the exterior walls are blown in insulation. Custom designed tile work is displayed on the kitchen floor and in the master shower. The 6cm granite bar top in the
kitchen presents a great place for entertaining guests. The label for the house was chosen because of the water feature in the backyard. The tall walls and backyard fence provide a place to get away from the stress of the world amidst the echo effect the flowing water creates. Before you leave, take in the unobstructed views from the dining area and front porch of your very own Colorado National Monument!

ROBUILD HOLDINGS INC., the nation’s largest professional building materials supplier, announced the opening of their newest lumber yard in Grand Junction, CO. Significantly larger than the smaller facility it is replacing, ProBuild’s expanded yard will offer all main-line products for area builders, contractors, remodelers and homeowners. First day of business was Thursday, July 23rd. The new facility, located at 2773 Riverside Parkway in Grand Junction will be comprised of 52,000 square feet of building space situated on 12.38 acres whose product offering will include engineered wood, framing lumber, panel products, siding, insulation, windows, doors, millwork, roofing materials, gypsum and stucco along with cabinetry, fireplaces, tools and hardware. A unique “streetscape” display concept showcases many products in actual settings (albeit on a smaller scale). Contractors and homeowners alike can see how products and colors will look on their project. A conference room is also provided for customers to view and discuss project plans. “Our former yard offered a meager 4000 feet of space on 3 acres and, over time, we simply outgrew the space,” said Tim Bork, ProBuild Area Vice President. “Our expanded capacity gives us the space to stock more inventory and provide our customers with much broader
selections of products and services in the area’s finest showroom.” “We’ve added millwork manufacturing to our new Grand Junction facility to bring finished products closer to the customer,” explained Keith Hogstad, Assistant Manager. “What took weeks to deliver from other front range facilities now takes days, producing lead times our builders will take advantage of.” ProBuild has expanded its Grand Junction staffing by 400% to effectively run the facility. ABOUT PROBUILD: ProBuild Holdings is the nation’s largest supplier of building materials to professional contractors. ProBuild currently operates more than 470 lumber and building product distribution, manufacturing and assembly centers serving 42 U.S. states. ProBuild sells a broad selection of building materials including lumber and plywood, engineered wood, gypsum and related products, millwork, trusses, roofing, sidings, insulation, metal specialties, hardware and tools. The company’s manufacturing activities include trusses, wall panels, millwork, and pre-hung door and window fabrication. Construction services include installation of framing, millwork, insulation, and other products. To learn more about ProBuild, visit their website at www.probuild.com.

HOUSE PLANTS
The Key to Healthy House Plants:
LIGHT & LIFESTYLE
BY ERIN CONROY AP Business Writer
F
ORGET EVERY STORY you’ve heard about the accidental death of a house plant. The key is picking a plant that can thrive, OK survive, with the light and lifestyle in your home. “You have to have a realistic sense of your maintenance skills,” said Justin Hancock, senior garden editor at Better Homes and Gardens magazine. “Something like watering seems easy enough, but when you have kids or have to make dinner every night it may not be one of your higher priorities.”
TIPS TO FOSTER YOUR FOLIAGE WATER Over watering is often the most common mistake plant owners make. If the soil is still moist, hold off. Don’t assume that wilted leaves mean a thirsty plant — it could mean just the opposite, that it’s drowning. Gardening experts recommend using a humidifier during the winter, and spraying leaves with water in the morning rather than overnight. LIGHT Of course, the quality and intensity of sunlight a plant needs will vary. It’s also important to consider how many hours of sunlight per day the plant will get when deciding which window will provide the best exposure. While natural light is best, many house plants adapt well to an artificial grow light that can be purchased for under $10. BUGS It’s also important to inspect your plant for tiny insects that like to hang out on the undersides of leaves. Spider mites, scales and mealy bugs are most common in house plants. Try to identify the problem before reaching for a pesticide — sometimes the solution is something as simple as cutting back on watering.
Hancock suggests these three house plants that are practically indestructible:
LOW MAINTENANCE PLANTS ZEEZEE Relatively new to plant lovers’ radar, the zeezee are known to thrive for many years with little maintenance. Occasional watering and some light will do the trick.
30 2009 PARADE OF HOMES
POTHOS Streaked with a creamy or white coloring, this popular plant thrives in low to bright light and prefers moderately dry soil. Its versatile vines can trail as long as 8 feet, or can be mounded on a tabletop. Beware: The plant’s parts can be poisonous to pets and children. PHILODENDRON Probably the most common house plant, the philodendron has heart-shaped leaves and climbing stems that can be trained to grow around a window or over the edge of a piece of furniture. It’s comfortable in low to bright light and can go a few days with dry soil. But like the pothos, it should be kept out of the reach of kids and pets.
If you want to branch out, so to speak, there are more exotic plants that, with more care, will intrigue guests with rich colors, strong scents or hanging fruit. “If you want flowers or something that will draw attention, you’ll have to put a
little bit of work in it and not disappear on vacation for three weeks without anyone watering them,” said Byron Martin, owner of Logee’s Tropical Plants in Danielson, Conn. “Still, you can have something fun that really isn’t that hard to maintain.”
EXOTIC INDOOR PLANTS MAID OF ORLEANS Also known as the Arabian Tea Jasmine, are popular in Asia and have been processed for tea. These plants need constant watering and tons of sunlight. MEYER LEMON Trees that produce lemons and limes have become popular. The lemon tree can go a few days without water, but needs a spot in front of a sunny window to flourish. BLACK PEPPER PLANT This plant doesn’t mind dry conditions, and will grow in relatively low light. It does require rich soil and partial shade. The pepper corns it sprouts can be dried and used for seasoning.
For something short-term, consider seasonal plants, like poinsettias around the holidays or potted lilies and tulips in the spring. It also makes sense to choose plants that are room-appropriate, like lavender for homemade potpourri in the bathroom or herbs in the kitchen. When displaying your plant, consider keeping the original plant container inside a more decorative cachepot or basket. Double-potting will protect the roots and contain the mess of soil and water with a visually aesthetic appeal. “You should always consider your plant an investment,” said Jennifer Williams, curator of interior displays for the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. “You don’t want them to ever be missing leaves, buggy or scraggly.” If you do somehow manage to kill your plant, don’t fret — sometimes it takes a few mistakes before you can cultivate the perfect plant.

LEAKY, UN-INSULATED garage door may not be an obvious culprit in rising monthly utility bills, but it’s worth a second look if you have an attached garage. Replacing an older garage door with a new, energy-efficient model can reduce energy loss through the garage door by up to 71 percent, according to a comparison study conducted by Clopay engineers. “Since attached garages typically share one or two common walls with the house, any hot or cold that travels through a door will ultimately affect the adjacent living areas,” says Mark Westerfield, director of product development for garage door manufacturer Clopay Building Products. “An insulated garage door can help stabilize temperatures in the garage to reduce heat losses or gains from common house walls.” Depending on the specifics of your home and attached garage construction, a well-insulated door can help keep your unheated garage 10 to 20 degrees warmer on a cold winter day. “That can have a significant impact on the comfort of family rooms or bedrooms located above or next to the garage,” says Westerfield. Homeowners who purchase an energyefficient garage door now through Dec. 31, 2010, will not only save on their heating and cooling bills, they may qualify for up to $1,500 in federal tax credits, thanks to the new stimulus legislation. Certain criteria apply. Visit www.clopay.com or call (800) 225-6729 for more information and a list of eligible models.
Helpful tips : More than 40 percent of the current housing stock was built prior to the era of energy efficiency, according to a report by The Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University. If your garage door is a hold-over from the dark ages, here are some things to look for when making an upgrade:
> > > > >
HELPFUL TIPS Two inch-thick, three-layer “sandwich” construction including environmentally safe, chlorofluorocarbonfree insulation layered between two sheets of heavy-duty galvanized steel. R-VALUE OR U-FACTOR these are measurements of the thermal efficiency of a door’s insulation. The higher the R-value, or the lower the U-factor, the more energy-efficient the insulation. ENERGY TAX CREDIT ELIGIBLE available for garage doors with a minimum factor of 0.30 installed on a homeowner’s primary residence. INSULATION TYPE There are two different types of insulation used in garage doors; expanded polystyrene and polyurethane. Doors constructed using either kind qualify for the Energy Tax credit, and both are strong and durable. DESIGN Get the most out of your garage door upgrade. Choose a model that complements your home’s architectural style.

Small Changes That Save
BIG MONEY M
ANY HOMEOWNERS ARE cutting back this year in an effort to save. But a few simple improvements to make your home more energy efficient can provide enormous return on your investment. “If you could invest a few dollars and save $100, you’d do that, right? That’s what you’re doing when you invest in making your home more energy efficient,” says Michael Chenard, director of environmental affairs at Lowe’s. “An inexpensive air filter replaced at recommended intervals can save you $100 or more on your heating and cooling bills. Making your home more energy efficient saves you real money.” Chenard recommends checking out Lowes.com/BuildYourSavings, to answer a few questions about your home and receive a list of recommended home improvements along with your estimated cost savings. He also suggests several ways to save money in your home.
UTILITY SAVINGS TOILETS Replace an old, inefficient toilet with a WaterSense-labeled model and you can save up to $90 per year off your water bill, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. LIGHT BULBS When you replace your five most-used incandescent light bulbs with ENERGY STAR-qualified compact fluorescent blubs, you can save up to $70 a year. According to the EPA, the average cost of a CFL bulb is between $4 and $9, but they pay for themselves quickly in savings on your utility bill. PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTATS As little as $30 and an hour or two is all it takes to save up to $500 a year, according to a 2008 article in Money magazine. ENERGY STAR-qualified thermostats with pre-programmed settings are intended to deliver savings without sacrificing comfort. For instance, your thermostat can automatically adjust the home’s temperature during sleeping hours or when no one is home achieving significant savings. The EPA recommends raising your thermostat four degrees in the summer and lowering it seven in the winter. Savings may vary depending on where in the country you live.
DO-IT-YOURSELF SAVINGS
LAWN MAINTENANCE If you use a professional lawn service to mow, trim and maintain your lawn and landscaping, simply doing it yourself can save up to $900 a year, based on the national average paid for professional services. PEST CONTROL If you’ve got termites, ants or rodents, you might be tempted to throw up your hands and call a pest control service. But you can do your own pest control easily and affordably and save up to $300 a year, based on a national average of professional pest services four times per year.
TAX CREDITS WINDOWS Replacing 300 square feet of old, single-pane windows with more energy-efficient ENERGY STARqualified windows can save more than $460 every year in energy costs, according to the EPA. You’ll notice a difference in the summer when you don’t need to run your air conditioner as often and in the winter when your heater can rest more often. SEALING AND INSULATION If you have less than 15 inches of insulation in your attic you can save money by adding more and also use expanding foam insulation to seal cracks and gaps where air seeps in and gets out and you can save up to $500 in annual energy costs, according to a 2008 Money magazine article.
“In addition to the savings you’ll see in your monthly bills through energyefficient improvements, you may be able to take advantage of the tax credits in the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act,” says Chenard. “Certain energy-efficient improvements to residential properties, like replacement windows, are eligible for up to 30 percent of the cost of improvements (up to $1,500) in tax credits under the Residential Energy Efficient Property Credit.” For more information and additional energy saving ideas, visit Lowe’s stores in United States and Canada and Lowes. com/BuildYourSavings.

O
N BEHALF OF THE HOUSING and Building Association of Northwestern Colorado, we would like to welcome you to the 28th Annual Parade of Homes. Once again we bring you Grand Junctions finest builders, designers, trade contractors and material suppliers, who will be showcasing the latest and greatest in home products and design and invite you to experience the parade homes they have created just for you. This year we have 9 traditional parade homes that will be furnished and land-
scaped to delight all. These newly built homes offer a little something for everyone. Ranging in size from 1300 square feet to just over 4000 square feet, we think you will enjoy every inch of these homes. Our “Green” homes are sure to be a favorite this year as well. Come see how these new homes are more energy efficient and constructed with resource conserving materials and techniques to save your money. Your “Parade of Opportunity” awaits you with additional homes we have added to the parade this year. Along with the 9 Traditional Parade Homes, we have
added 19 additional homes that are available here in the Grand Valley for your viewing. This market we are in truly is an opportunity of a lifetime! Prevailing economic conditions impacting housing will change in the near future. When those changes occur, buying conditions will not be as favorable. We wanted to make sure you had the opportunity to see other new homes that are also available to you. The reasons the “opportunity of a lifetime” exists and new home buyers should feel a sense of urgency in regard to taking advantage of it are factually based:
Building material costs are at an all time low which means new home buyers have the opportunity to take advantage of great builder pricing on new homes of exceptional value. Mortgage loans are available at historically low inertest rates which means new home buyers have the opportunity to secure and lock in financing at rates not expected to be available again in the future. An $8,000 tax credit is available for a limited time only for first-time home buyers (if you haven’t owned a principal residence in the last 3 years) who take advantage of the opportunity to buy and close on the sale of a new home by December 1, 2009. An investment in a new home today provides new home buyers the opportunity to establish a significant hedge against the impact of projected future inflation.
We encourage you to view as many homes as you can…talk with the onsite representatives about the areas, the builder, home pricing, available financing, “green” home advantages, and any incentives that are being offered. But whatever you do, don’t pass up this “opportunity of a lifetime” to buy your new dream home now! A special thanks to our sponsors for their contribution to this parade. And thanks to every committee member that participated in putting this event on…we couldn’t have done it without you!

We invite you to come see what ‘green’ can do for you.” The traditional Parade of Homes and the Parade of Opportunity homes will be open on Friday, Sept. 18, Saturday, Sept. 19 and Sunday, Sept. 20 from 10 a.m.7 p.m. The nine marquis homes will require a $10.00 ticket which can be purchased from area City Market stores. No
ticket will be required to tour the Parade of Opportunity homes. Participating builders in the traditional Parade include Davidson Homes, Conquest Construction, Chaparral West, Sunshine Development, Dorssey Custom Homes, Griffin Concepts, Porter Homes and Grace Homes.

HOUSE DESCRIPTION A home you must experience! This simple and efficient 1,676 sq. ft home flows beautifully. The 3 bed/2 bath layout is nicely upgraded with solid granite countertops and solid wood floors. RV parking is included for all those extras. Priced to sell at $274,900 it is affordable quality. Every wall in the house is fully insulated for soundproofing, and the exterior walls are blown in insulation. Custom designed tile work is displayed on the kitchen floor and in the master shower. The 6cm granite bar top in the
kitchen presents a great place for entertaining guests. The label for the house was chosen because of the water feature in the backyard. The tall walls and backyard fence provide a place to get away from the stress of the world amidst the echo effect the flowing water creates. Before you leave, take in the unobstructed views from the dining area and front porch of your very own Colorado National Monument!

ROBUILD HOLDINGS INC., the nation’s largest professional building materials supplier, announced the opening of their newest lumber yard in Grand Junction, CO. Significantly larger than the smaller facility it is replacing, ProBuild’s expanded yard will offer all main-line products for area builders, contractors, remodelers and homeowners. First day of business was Thursday, July 23rd. The new facility, located at 2773 Riverside Parkway in Grand Junction will be comprised of 52,000 square feet of building space situated on 12.38 acres whose product offering will include engineered wood, framing lumber, panel products, siding, insulation, windows, doors, millwork, roofing materials, gypsum and stucco along with cabinetry, fireplaces, tools and hardware. A unique “streetscape” display concept showcases many products in actual settings (albeit on a smaller scale). Contractors and homeowners alike can see how products and colors will look on their project. A conference room is also provided for customers to view and discuss project plans. “Our former yard offered a meager 4000 feet of space on 3 acres and, over time, we simply outgrew the space,” said Tim Bork, ProBuild Area Vice President. “Our expanded capacity gives us the space to stock more inventory and provide our customers with much broader
selections of products and services in the area’s finest showroom.” “We’ve added millwork manufacturing to our new Grand Junction facility to bring finished products closer to the customer,” explained Keith Hogstad, Assistant Manager. “What took weeks to deliver from other front range facilities now takes days, producing lead times our builders will take advantage of.” ProBuild has expanded its Grand Junction staffing by 400% to effectively run the facility. ABOUT PROBUILD: ProBuild Holdings is the nation’s largest supplier of building materials to professional contractors. ProBuild currently operates more than 470 lumber and building product distribution, manufacturing and assembly centers serving 42 U.S. states. ProBuild sells a broad selection of building materials including lumber and plywood, engineered wood, gypsum and related products, millwork, trusses, roofing, sidings, insulation, metal specialties, hardware and tools. The company’s manufacturing activities include trusses, wall panels, millwork, and pre-hung door and window fabrication. Construction services include installation of framing, millwork, insulation, and other products. To learn more about ProBuild, visit their website at www.probuild.com.

HOUSE PLANTS
The Key to Healthy House Plants:
LIGHT & LIFESTYLE
BY ERIN CONROY AP Business Writer
F
ORGET EVERY STORY you’ve heard about the accidental death of a house plant. The key is picking a plant that can thrive, OK survive, with the light and lifestyle in your home. “You have to have a realistic sense of your maintenance skills,” said Justin Hancock, senior garden editor at Better Homes and Gardens magazine. “Something like watering seems easy enough, but when you have kids or have to make dinner every night it may not be one of your higher priorities.”
TIPS TO FOSTER YOUR FOLIAGE WATER Over watering is often the most common mistake plant owners make. If the soil is still moist, hold off. Don’t assume that wilted leaves mean a thirsty plant — it could mean just the opposite, that it’s drowning. Gardening experts recommend using a humidifier during the winter, and spraying leaves with water in the morning rather than overnight. LIGHT Of course, the quality and intensity of sunlight a plant needs will vary. It’s also important to consider how many hours of sunlight per day the plant will get when deciding which window will provide the best exposure. While natural light is best, many house plants adapt well to an artificial grow light that can be purchased for under $10. BUGS It’s also important to inspect your plant for tiny insects that like to hang out on the undersides of leaves. Spider mites, scales and mealy bugs are most common in house plants. Try to identify the problem before reaching for a pesticide — sometimes the solution is something as simple as cutting back on watering.
Hancock suggests these three house plants that are practically indestructible:
LOW MAINTENANCE PLANTS ZEEZEE Relatively new to plant lovers’ radar, the zeezee are known to thrive for many years with little maintenance. Occasional watering and some light will do the trick.
30 2009 PARADE OF HOMES
POTHOS Streaked with a creamy or white coloring, this popular plant thrives in low to bright light and prefers moderately dry soil. Its versatile vines can trail as long as 8 feet, or can be mounded on a tabletop. Beware: The plant’s parts can be poisonous to pets and children. PHILODENDRON Probably the most common house plant, the philodendron has heart-shaped leaves and climbing stems that can be trained to grow around a window or over the edge of a piece of furniture. It’s comfortable in low to bright light and can go a few days with dry soil. But like the pothos, it should be kept out of the reach of kids and pets.
If you want to branch out, so to speak, there are more exotic plants that, with more care, will intrigue guests with rich colors, strong scents or hanging fruit. “If you want flowers or something that will draw attention, you’ll have to put a
little bit of work in it and not disappear on vacation for three weeks without anyone watering them,” said Byron Martin, owner of Logee’s Tropical Plants in Danielson, Conn. “Still, you can have something fun that really isn’t that hard to maintain.”
EXOTIC INDOOR PLANTS MAID OF ORLEANS Also known as the Arabian Tea Jasmine, are popular in Asia and have been processed for tea. These plants need constant watering and tons of sunlight. MEYER LEMON Trees that produce lemons and limes have become popular. The lemon tree can go a few days without water, but needs a spot in front of a sunny window to flourish. BLACK PEPPER PLANT This plant doesn’t mind dry conditions, and will grow in relatively low light. It does require rich soil and partial shade. The pepper corns it sprouts can be dried and used for seasoning.
For something short-term, consider seasonal plants, like poinsettias around the holidays or potted lilies and tulips in the spring. It also makes sense to choose plants that are room-appropriate, like lavender for homemade potpourri in the bathroom or herbs in the kitchen. When displaying your plant, consider keeping the original plant container inside a more decorative cachepot or basket. Double-potting will protect the roots and contain the mess of soil and water with a visually aesthetic appeal. “You should always consider your plant an investment,” said Jennifer Williams, curator of interior displays for the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. “You don’t want them to ever be missing leaves, buggy or scraggly.” If you do somehow manage to kill your plant, don’t fret — sometimes it takes a few mistakes before you can cultivate the perfect plant.

LEAKY, UN-INSULATED garage door may not be an obvious culprit in rising monthly utility bills, but it’s worth a second look if you have an attached garage. Replacing an older garage door with a new, energy-efficient model can reduce energy loss through the garage door by up to 71 percent, according to a comparison study conducted by Clopay engineers. “Since attached garages typically share one or two common walls with the house, any hot or cold that travels through a door will ultimately affect the adjacent living areas,” says Mark Westerfield, director of product development for garage door manufacturer Clopay Building Products. “An insulated garage door can help stabilize temperatures in the garage to reduce heat losses or gains from common house walls.” Depending on the specifics of your home and attached garage construction, a well-insulated door can help keep your unheated garage 10 to 20 degrees warmer on a cold winter day. “That can have a significant impact on the comfort of family rooms or bedrooms located above or next to the garage,” says Westerfield. Homeowners who purchase an energyefficient garage door now through Dec. 31, 2010, will not only save on their heating and cooling bills, they may qualify for up to $1,500 in federal tax credits, thanks to the new stimulus legislation. Certain criteria apply. Visit www.clopay.com or call (800) 225-6729 for more information and a list of eligible models.
Helpful tips : More than 40 percent of the current housing stock was built prior to the era of energy efficiency, according to a report by The Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University. If your garage door is a hold-over from the dark ages, here are some things to look for when making an upgrade:
> > > > >
HELPFUL TIPS Two inch-thick, three-layer “sandwich” construction including environmentally safe, chlorofluorocarbonfree insulation layered between two sheets of heavy-duty galvanized steel. R-VALUE OR U-FACTOR these are measurements of the thermal efficiency of a door’s insulation. The higher the R-value, or the lower the U-factor, the more energy-efficient the insulation. ENERGY TAX CREDIT ELIGIBLE available for garage doors with a minimum factor of 0.30 installed on a homeowner’s primary residence. INSULATION TYPE There are two different types of insulation used in garage doors; expanded polystyrene and polyurethane. Doors constructed using either kind qualify for the Energy Tax credit, and both are strong and durable. DESIGN Get the most out of your garage door upgrade. Choose a model that complements your home’s architectural style.

Small Changes That Save
BIG MONEY M
ANY HOMEOWNERS ARE cutting back this year in an effort to save. But a few simple improvements to make your home more energy efficient can provide enormous return on your investment. “If you could invest a few dollars and save $100, you’d do that, right? That’s what you’re doing when you invest in making your home more energy efficient,” says Michael Chenard, director of environmental affairs at Lowe’s. “An inexpensive air filter replaced at recommended intervals can save you $100 or more on your heating and cooling bills. Making your home more energy efficient saves you real money.” Chenard recommends checking out Lowes.com/BuildYourSavings, to answer a few questions about your home and receive a list of recommended home improvements along with your estimated cost savings. He also suggests several ways to save money in your home.
UTILITY SAVINGS TOILETS Replace an old, inefficient toilet with a WaterSense-labeled model and you can save up to $90 per year off your water bill, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. LIGHT BULBS When you replace your five most-used incandescent light bulbs with ENERGY STAR-qualified compact fluorescent blubs, you can save up to $70 a year. According to the EPA, the average cost of a CFL bulb is between $4 and $9, but they pay for themselves quickly in savings on your utility bill. PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTATS As little as $30 and an hour or two is all it takes to save up to $500 a year, according to a 2008 article in Money magazine. ENERGY STAR-qualified thermostats with pre-programmed settings are intended to deliver savings without sacrificing comfort. For instance, your thermostat can automatically adjust the home’s temperature during sleeping hours or when no one is home achieving significant savings. The EPA recommends raising your thermostat four degrees in the summer and lowering it seven in the winter. Savings may vary depending on where in the country you live.
DO-IT-YOURSELF SAVINGS
LAWN MAINTENANCE If you use a professional lawn service to mow, trim and maintain your lawn and landscaping, simply doing it yourself can save up to $900 a year, based on the national average paid for professional services. PEST CONTROL If you’ve got termites, ants or rodents, you might be tempted to throw up your hands and call a pest control service. But you can do your own pest control easily and affordably and save up to $300 a year, based on a national average of professional pest services four times per year.
TAX CREDITS WINDOWS Replacing 300 square feet of old, single-pane windows with more energy-efficient ENERGY STARqualified windows can save more than $460 every year in energy costs, according to the EPA. You’ll notice a difference in the summer when you don’t need to run your air conditioner as often and in the winter when your heater can rest more often. SEALING AND INSULATION If you have less than 15 inches of insulation in your attic you can save money by adding more and also use expanding foam insulation to seal cracks and gaps where air seeps in and gets out and you can save up to $500 in annual energy costs, according to a 2008 Money magazine article.
“In addition to the savings you’ll see in your monthly bills through energyefficient improvements, you may be able to take advantage of the tax credits in the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act,” says Chenard. “Certain energy-efficient improvements to residential properties, like replacement windows, are eligible for up to 30 percent of the cost of improvements (up to $1,500) in tax credits under the Residential Energy Efficient Property Credit.” For more information and additional energy saving ideas, visit Lowe’s stores in United States and Canada and Lowes. com/BuildYourSavings.
