Making energy-efficient upgrades is worthwhile, as you will see reductions in your energy consumption, savings on your power bills and the added benefit of reducing your environmental impact. Other home improvement projects, like updating the kitchen, can add value your home, which is worthwhile if you're planning to sell your home in the future.
