Improving Home Efficiency Year-Round
Improving Home Efficiency Year-Round
From air spray foam insulation to solar panel installation, many cost-effective energy upgrades can save homeowners money and improve their homes’ comfort, health, and safety. Energy-saving upgrades can also add to a home’s value, making it easier to sell when the time comes.
Whether you’re building your dream home or renovating to boost comfort and resale value, it’s important to include energy-saving improvements in your project plans. With high utility bills and rising environmental concerns, incorporating energy-saving features is one of the best ways to protect against these trends.
How Quality Insulation Helps Cut Your Energy Bills
The best place to start is by having a professional conduct a home energy audit, which will identify the most cost-effective ways to reduce your household’s energy waste. The audit includes a visual inspection of your home’s exterior and a comprehensive check of your heating, cooling, and water-using equipment. The results will give you a prioritized list of energy improvement projects with estimated costs and savings, which you can implement at your own pace.
Homeowners can take advantage of a wide range of ENERGY STAR programs and incentives to make energy-saving upgrades more affordable. Check NYSERDA’s Energy Efficiency Program Chart to see what options are available in your area. Also, keep in mind that Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) tax credits and New York State programs can further lower the cost of upgrading to a more comfortable, sustainable, energy-efficient home.
