Remodeling with energy efficiency in mind

Whether you're remodeling one room or a whole house, it's the right time to think about how you can make your home more energy efficient.

According to Home Energy magazine, remodeling your home with energy efficiency in mind can deliver big savings – as much as 50% for certain end uses – that can readily be seen on lower utility bills. You also may qualify for tax credits and rebates and be able to market a property to potential buyers as being more energy efficient and environmentally friendly.

If you're unsure of where to start, contact Focus on Energy to have an ENERGY STAR® Home Performance Consultant perform a before-and-after home assessment and blower door test. This service identifies conservation measures, estimates energy savings and determines whether more ventilation or make-up air is needed as you tighten your home. This program also offers "Cash-Back Rewards" if you have a home assessment completed and make qualifying energy-efficient improvements.
