Just got word that Loweâs, Whirlpool, and the U.S. EPA Energy Star program will search this summer for the countryâs 10 most energy-inefficient families. The lucky winners will receive a home energy makeover âto lower their monthly bills and help save the environmentâ and a return visit a year later to see how itâs all going. During the search, Loweâs stores will host hands-on energy-conservation clinics. Itâs all in honor of the 10th anniversary of people ignoring Energy Star.
