Energy Savings A well-designed game plan will maximize your return on investment for efficiency improvements. A professional analysis will detail the most cost-effective improvements and the predicted energy savings. More often than not, doing a combination of improvements will produce the best energy savings. Actual savings vary for each home, but it’s reasonable to achieve a 30-50% reduction in energy bills for leaky homes with old heating and cooling systems. As energy costs rise, this return on investment increases.
Safety & Indoor Air Quality Thinking about your home as an energy system is important for keeping your family safe and healthy. High efficiency heating equipment, for example, is closed combustion and eliminates the potential for carbon monoxide poisoning. An energy analyst can review potential safety issues in your home and suggest the appropriate corrective measures. Indoor air quality can be up to five times worse than outdoor air. Making sure air flow is properly controlled and your home has adequate ventilation can improve indoor air quality significantly.
Increased Home Value A study by The Appraisal Journal found that the selling price of homes increased by $20.73 for every $1 decrease in energy bills. If your energy bills average $1,500/yr. and you saved $400/yr., your home value would increase by $8,300.
