3 Energy-Efficient Home Upgrades To Improve Its Value

By Stacey Chaffin

Home is not just a place, it’s a feeling. My number one priority as an agent is to bring my clients that feeling and in turn, bring them home.

Want to increase the value of your home and lower your energy costs? Energy-efficient upgrades are becoming increasingly popular in the housing market, and they can greatly improve your quality of life while you’re still in your current home. Here are three effective energy-efficient upgrades to increase your home’s value:

1. Improve your home’s insulation. You have several options to improve your home’s insulation. One way is by upgrading your windows. Quality windows can enhance insulation and better control your home’s temperature, reducing the need to rely on air conditioning or heating. Another option is to conduct an energy inspection to identify areas with leaks. Patching these up can significantly improve your living space’s comfort. You can also upgrade your roof to improve insulation.

2. Get a smart thermostat. While it may seem basic, this advanced technology can significantly lower your heating costs. With a smart thermostat, you can program it to conserve energy when no one is home. It also adjusts the temperature without manual intervention, making it a convenient and attractive feature to highlight for potential buyers.

3. Install solar panels. While they’re commonly associated with energy savings, they can also boost your home’s value significantly. On average, solar panels increase a home’s value by 4%, allowing you to get an impressively high return on investment, depending on your property’s worth.

Note that these upgrades can be quite expensive, and not everyone can shell out a large amount of money for home improvements.
