Purchasing a green home is an added bonus for many homebuyers. At the same time, practicing more environmentally friendly and ecologically responsible lifestyles can help protect the environment and sustain its natural resources. Here’s some green ideas for selling your home and will set you apart from the rest.
-Make sure you install energy-efficient lighting such as compact fluorescents.
- If you’re thinking about selling your home in the future, change out any old appliances that are using up lots of energy. Sometimes homeowners don’t want to replace an appliance because they’re selling their home. But replacing an energy hog appliance can be a cost- effective way to increase the value of your home.
-
Energy Star certified appliances use less energy and are more efficient.
-
According to the EPA letting your faucet run for five minutes uses as much energy as it takes to keep a 60-watt light bulb lit for 14 hours. By installing low-flow showerheads and faucets water consumption associated with bathing will decrease by up to 70% and you’ll use less energy heating up the water.
-
Even if your home already has a cooling system ceiling fans can maximize its effectiveness in the summer. They can pull the warmer air up and away and in winter push warmer air down.
-Maintain cooling or heating systems by calling an expert to check annually. If they’re not working properly, you will spend more on energy. Don’t forget to replace air filters regularly and make sure your air duct joints are seal properly.
Once you’ve done this compare your utility bills so you can show the reduction to your real estate agent who can then point out the energy savings to potential buyers.
With utility bills on the rise, any savings can be a major influence on buyers.
