Energy Cost Savings for Homeowners

Heating and cooling costs can eat through your savings unless you take steps to ensure your home is energy efficient. If you do decide to make an investment in becoming more energy efficient, in the long run, the savings you reap will potentially pay for the cost of improvements you make.

Not only will an energy efficient home help keep you and your family more comfortable and save money, in the future if you decide to sell your home, the improvements made will make it more attractive to potential buyers.

Whether you make big improvements or use simple measures, your energy bills and consumption are sure to decrease when you follow the tips below.

Great tips Anita! There was a movement here in the Virgin islands to become more energy efficient and to save money by installing solar panels but the initial cost was not worth the risk despite utility bills running very high here. Some of the advice you gave seem simple enough to be implemented without hurting the pockets too badly.

Tanya: It is a shame that the cost was so high for solar panels...it's not much of an incentive if you can't recoup your investment.

Great information. Home buyers are getting much more savvy about a homes energy efficiency and want to know what would need to be done or already has been done. Good blog post for Sellers and Buyers to read.

Hi Anita, many people don't bother to make their home energy-efficient because of the extra costs. I guess they do not know the phrase "in the long run."

Anita,

Thanks for sharing these comprehensive energy saving tips with us, they're all great. People sometimes get overwhelmed when they think about what needs to be done to save on energy costs. If they just start small and add items as they can it will really help. Your list should help in the process.

Why thank you, David. Good to hear it is all of those things. ;-)

Trisha: Exactly right! Start small and it will not seem overwhelming. Otherwise, paralysis by analysis sets in and nothing gets accomplished.

Beth: It was so nice of Roy to re-blog this and you for sharing it on Pinterest.
