I agree with Strider3700, all Canadian homeowners should have a good, hard look at the Government of Canada Eco grant programme. We replaced our old (1962) gas furnace and added 12" of cellulose insulation to our attic in late 2010, and the Federal portion of the grant was approx. $1600, (at the time, under the first round of the programme, there were matching Provincial Government grants in Ontario) The net effect of the two improvements was a reduction of about 60% on our monthly gas bill. We've also noticed that the house is much more comfortable, warmer in the winter, and much cooler in the summer.
If you are considering any eco upgrades to your home, now is the time!
