Trees add Value to Mercer Co NJ Homes

We have beautiful trees in New Jersey which can be more than part of the scenery.  An article from the National Assn of Realtors puts numbers to those energy savings which trees provide.

1. Three properly placed trees could save home owners between $100 and $250 a year in energy costs, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Their shade cuts cooling costs in the summer. In winter, they serve as windbreak and help hold down heating costs.

2. The National Tree Calculator estimates that a 12-inch elm in an Omaha yard can save $32.43 a year on homeowners’ energy bills; the same tree in Atlanta would save them $11.89 annually. The 12-inch elm adds $40.23 to the Omaha home’s value and $57.33 to the Atlanta home. As trees grow larger, they can add even more value.
