It's great that Potomac Edison bills are down to about $35 since installing solar panels, down from over $100 before solar. Our insulation upgrade has been worth doing. both for comfort and energy savings. However, we did not receive the rebate from Potomac Edison for insulation and sealing retrofits in over a year since we applied, and nothing from the Maryland Energy Administration Residential Clean Energy grant program for solar in over 6 months, since we applied. :)

Upgraded electrical system from 100 Amps to 200 Amps; replaced wall A/C unit with central A/C; added 8" additional attic insulation; added attic exhaust fan to roof which makes attic much cooler in summer and lowers A/C costs; replaced wooden windows which had lead paint sashes with double-glazed aluminum windows; replaced back door and back storm door; added heavy living room drapes which keeps both heat and cold outside; thanks to Frederick County Refrigerator Exchange Program and am in the midst of replacing 1986 fridge with a much more energy efficient refrigerator
