There's enough tax incentives out now for energy efficiency purchases that everybody should be thinking about upgrades:

DC residents should also double check with https://www.dcseu.com/ for rebates.

Last year we bought a heat pump hot water heater, and saved $900 between the tax refund and the DCSEU rebate, and it's only going to be better this year.
@sojourn unfortunately, renters are left out of these incentives. I have a good situation (my landlord plans to live in this house in a few years so keeps it well repaired/modern) but there's no incentives for him, either.
