Good to hear from you. The additional upside for HomeFixated when it comes to weatherization is that it gives us an opportunity to make more <a href="http://homefixated.com/2009/10/14/caulked-n-ready/" rel="nofollow">jokes about caulk</a>. Caulk jokes are obviously higher priority than green energy savings and government leadership, right? Just checking. Thanks for the tip Karim! Good to hear from you.

There are also free programs out there that help those who are more financially in need. Here in the state of California, the Department of Community Services and Development offers the free "weatherization assistance program" for low-income property owners and renters. At a time when all our incomes are more strapped than expected and the government has pledged to weatherize a million homes... something worth checking into!

I did a little research online and couldn't find a real definitive answer. My guess (sadly) is that you'll need to contact "the man" directly to get a solid answer. The closest I came to finding specific details on these energy related tax credits was on the government's <a href="http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=tax_credits.tx_index" rel="nofollow">Energy Star</a> page. Good luck with it and let us know what you find out. Hmm, I haven’t heard of tax credit for an exterior coating, but that doesn’t mean it’s not valid.
