The Alliance to Save Energy, a coalition of business, government, environmental and consumer advocates that promote efficient and clean use of energy, is urging homeowners who are refinancing to consider wrapping energy-efficient home improvements into their new mortgage with a view toward reducing monthly energy bills and conserving the nation's energy supply.
"With energy costs rising and demand exceeding supplies, now is a great time for consumers to improve the energy efficiency of their home and obtain the advantage of tax-deductible interest on these upgrades," said David M. Nemtzow, president of the group.
