Making homes more efficient

The state of Iowa is receiving more than 121-million dollars to put towards efficiency grants. Iowa Congressman Dave Loebsack says the money is from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and will support home weatherization and modernizing heating and cooling equipment through rebates. Mike Roe with Roe Heating in Washington says some simple ways to take advantage of the program and see a lot of savings is by insulating basements, and sealing any leaks in a home.
