Jun 18, 2014

Choosing eco-friendly products, conserving energy and building for sustainability has been popular within the past several years but when it comes to your home, what does it really mean to “go green”? According to the latest NAHB Remodeler’s survey, these are the most popular green building features for 2014 (in order of popularity): Low-emissive (Low-E) Windows High-efficiency HVAC systems Smart thermostats Energy Star appliances Other green features that homes have these days, most predominantly newly constructed homes, include water conserving fixtures and high-performance insulation. Let’s break down each of these green features for your home to help you decide if a green remodel (or new home)  is right for you. 1.What are Low-E Windows?

This particular type of window is a low solar-gain low-E glass which is actually coated in several layers of silver (Werewolves and sweltering heat beware!). 2.How much do high-efficiency HVAC systems cost? High-efficiency HVAC systems cost anywhere from $2,000 to about $6,000 and they easily pay for themselves in utility expenses over the years.

Which brings me to the first thing on your home seller checklist… 1. Do some spring cleaning – The best way to prepare for the big move is to go through your house and do some spring cleaning. There are two major goals when spring cleaning: 1.) Get rid of junk you don’t need and 2.) Make your house sparkle. To get rid of what you don’t need clean out your closet and donate the clothes you don’t wear anymore and go through everything in your garage and sort through what you need and what you need to throw out. The more you get rid of now, the less you will have to pack later. To make your house sparkle, take the time to complete those deep cleaning tasks you’ve been putting off all year. When you put your home up for sale buyers will be poking around in every nook and cranny so make sure everything is dusted, clean and looking great! 2. Start packing – It’s never too early to start packing if there is a move in your future. Obviously you won’t be boxing up your pots and pans quite yet but there’s plenty you can get in order now to make the moving process quicker and easier down the road. Pack up your winter clothes, Christmas decorations, fine china and other things you won’t need... read more
