Looking for home with upgraded energy efficiency
When you’re home searching it’s pretty simple to feel like you’re running in endless concentric circles, chasing some idealized household that doesn’t exist.
You might go in with a certain set of deal breakers as well as must-haves, but soon you’ll have completely altered the entire list.
It will often feel like you’re trading one necessity for another with each passing household visitation, until you aren’t even sure what your dream household looks like anymore. This has been my experience, anyways. I can tell you with certainty that at least one feature has never left our must-have list in these past 6 months of home hunting – the need for a household with upgraded features for high energy efficiency. You see, we’re no fools. Though it’s lovely to worry about an upgraded dining room or bathrooms, it’s more lovely to think about the energy savings down the road when a household has been properly tested. All my pal and I need to see is an upgraded A/C unit, furnace, as well as thermostat, as well as we’re feeling pretty wonderful about the investment, my wonderful friend and I also want to find energy star rated windows with double paned glass in order to insulate the home as much as possible. My wonderful friend and I need to see thick, modern insulation in the attic as well as crawlspace, as well as the external doors have to seal tightly. These features labor to ensure that our high quality indoor air will be effectively trapped indoors, rather than escaping outwards. Over time all of these energy efficiency replaces will save us tons of money, energy, as well as headaches. That is entirely a must-have.
