&#160;
The big appeal of replacing your old windows with new energy-efficient ones is that they might save you money. A federal tax credit of up to $1,500 adds to the attraction.

         <description><![CDATA[Homeowners could receive a tax break for making their homes more energy efficient.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, also known as the federal stimulus package, includes a number of provisions aimed at reducing the amount of money Americans spend on their energy usage by installing energy-efficient upgrades to existing homes.
