National Debt Relief Talks About Energy Efficient Homes
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) November 03, 2015 -- National Debt Relief recently shared in an article published October 25, 2015, some of the most important reasons why consumers need to make their homes more energy efficient. The article, titled “Two Reasons To Make Your House More Energy Efficient That May Surprise You,” looks at benefits of retrofitting a house to consume less energy.
The article shares that these home improvements do cost money, which is one of the major considerations in undertaking this project. Because of this, consumers must be able to crunch the numbers and do the math to understand how long it would take to get a return on their investment.
But one of the major advantages of having a more energy efficient house is that consumers get to save money. It is not a matter of “if” but of “when,” and the savings could come at a time when the finances get tight. A typical household bill on utilities could be at around $2000, but there are upgrades that can help save money. Some of these upgrades are installing a programmable thermostat, using compact fluorescent light bulbs around the house or even simply putting blankets on older water heaters.
The article points out that as putting a budget for these repairs could take a big bite in their savings, one idea is to take out a HELOC or homeowner equity line of credit. It works out like a debit card where homeowners get to borrow against their home equity but have the option of not using all the funds released to them.
Helping the environment is another reason to consider getting the house a little more energy efficient. Less power means less carbon that goes into the atmosphere. Carbon is the big culprit in climate change. There are already worse weather patterns with floods, droughts, more severe storms, terrible hurricanes and tornadoes. Doing everything possible to prevent these things from happening again should be enough to get people to consider energy efficiency.
