Going Green- The Importance of an Energy Efficient Home
How energy efficient is the home you’re looking at purchasing? Although this might not be a question you ask yourself, it’s an important one. Investing in an energy efficient home can have a number of benefits, including cost savings, conserving energy and a more comfortable living environment. Through the hot Tampa summer, having a home that’s comfortable all year round is important to the health and happiness of your entire family.
Added comfort
Having a comfortable space you can return to after a long hot day spent outside in the sun, or a tiring day of work is important. When you invest in an energy efficient home, it’s a more comfortable home. That’s because the temperature is better controlled and humidity is kept in check -relief for your hair and sanity.
You'll save money!
Who doesn’t like to save money? Not anyone that we’ve come across. With an energy efficient home, you’ll save money in the long run, because it costs a lot less to keep your home running as it should. These savings come from different things including air filtration and improved HVAC systems, better water efficiency and eco friendly windows. When you save on household expenses, you can put aside more money towards the future, or perhaps even planning a fun vacation for you and your family.
Improved resale value
We get it, you’re in the market to buy a home, and selling the home that you’re just looking to buy is probably the farthest thing from your mind. But, it’s never too early to think ahead. An energy efficient home will be more enticing to future buyers if you ever do decide to sell your home down the road.
Environmentally friendly
An energy efficient home is also more environmentally friendly. So, not only are you improving yours and your families lives, but helping out your current community and future generations to come. A home that’s efficient will use up less energy and be a lot better for the environment than a home that’s not energy efficient.
This article from Forbes remains timely in inspiring us to embrace environmentally friendly home builds and to embrace an eco-friendly lifestyle – read here.
