Energy and Water Saving Options

Here are some easy, yet smaller projects that can increase a home's appeal in a time of high energy costs and an extraordinary focus on being green. Of course make sure you market the home with these positive, new features.

Replace regular light bulbs in permanent fixtures with compact fluorescent light bulbs
Install low-flow showerheads
Install an ENERGY STAR qualified, programmable thermostat
Close the damper on the fireplace.
Add insulation to an attic.
Seal basement rim joists. This is along the top of the basement wall where the cement or block comes in contact with the wood frame.
Insulate water heater tanks for energy savings.
Repair water leaks in tubs, showers and sinks.

Savvy buyers will ask what utility costs are or to see actual bills, especially in older homes, and be impressed at measures taken to reduce those costs.
