Energy Efficient Remodeling Ideas to Reduce Utility Bills5

New Windows

Floor Insulation

Seal Transitions

Moisture Protection

Roofing Upgrade

Windows are hands-down one of the best renovations for improving energy efficiency. New windows can help you leverage the sun to the fullest extent. Large, clean windows can increase the flow of sunlight into your home, limiting the amount of electricity consumed for artificial lighting. In addition, strategically placed windows, such as those on the south side of the house, can help you maximize the sun’s passive heating potential.

Applying sealant to transitions in your home’s building envelope, such as expansion joints, control joints, and window-to-wall connections is another great way to restrict unwanted airflow into and out of your home. While this process may seem relatively simple, it must be performed correctly to achieve the desired results.

Homeowners spend approximately $2,500 fixing problems related to water damage around their homes. And these are only the direct costs. Water damage will undoubtedly create chasms that lead to mass airflow and heightened utility bills.

Most homeowners think of wall and ceiling insulation as critical renovation for controlling a home’s utility bills. While there is definitely merit to this thought process, insulating the floor should not be overlooked. At least 10% of all heat loss in a home occurs through the floor, making floor insulation an underrated remodeling project for curtailing energy bills.

A new roof is another common-sense remodeling project for those looking to get utility bills under control, as the roof is one of the areas of the home most susceptible to leaks. As hot air rises, this can lead to significant amounts of heat exiting through the roof in the year’s colder months. Composite tiles are the best type of roofing material for withstanding extreme weather conditions. There are many reasons to remodel your home. The best remodeling projects will make your home safer, more functional, and more aesthetically pleasing. However, arguably the most pertinent concern for undertaking a remodeling project is to see improved energy efficiency. While exact figures are difficult to pin down, the most conservative estimates indicate that buyers are willing to pay at least $5,000 more for an energy efficient home over similar, less-efficient properties. Therefore, consider any of the following energyefficient remodeling ideas that help reduce utility bills.
