ATTENTION LANDLORDS

Fiber broadband is a GAME-CHANGER for MultipleDwelling-Unit (MDU) residents.

ATTRACT MORE TENANTS

Offering fiber attracts more tenants and retains current ones. Plus, you’ll gain a competitive edge in the market.

TOP AMENITY

Surveys show broadband consistently ranks as the top amenity for both apartments and condominiums.

Why is fiber broadband loved by renters? The answer is simple: it meets their needs. With more people than ever working from home, fast, reliable internet mitigates commute time, supports home-based businesses, and videoconferencing. Fiber speeds also mean streaming endless entertainment on ultra-high-definition 4K TVs and low latency for gaming and second-screen activities while watching TV.

The benefits of energy-efficient homes

• Save money: Inflation was one of the biggest stories of 2022, as the cost of living rose dramatically in the wake of world events. According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, inflation led to an overall 6.5 percent increase in prices. But that increase was dwarfed by the cost of electricity, which increased by 14.3 percent in 2022. Energy-efficient appliances can help homeowners overcome that spike, as the U.S. Department of Energy indicates upgrading to such products can help homeowners reduce their energy costs by as much as 30 percent.

• Improve resale value: As the NAHB survey indicates, modern homebuyers want energyefficient homes. They’re also willing to pay more for such homes. Research from the mortgage lender Freddie Mac found that homes with energyefficient ratings sold for nearly 3 percent more on average than homes without such ratings.

Consumer efforts to be more eco-conscious are more and more noticeable. For proof of that, one need look no further than the increase in vehicle charging stations. Such stations are more accessible than ever and illustrate that consumer preference is increasingly leaning toward products that leave as small a carbon footprint as possible.

Another indicator of a growing interest in eco-friendly products is the popularity in energy-efficient homes. In fact, a recent survey from the National Association of Home Builders found that energy-efficient features are among the most sought-after “must-haves” among homebuyers. Among those surveyed, 83 percent desired Energy Star-rated windows, 81 percent wanted Energy Star-rated appliances and 80 percent preferred energyefficient lighting.

Though eco-conscious sensibilities compel millions of homeowners to make their homes more energy-efficient, that’s not the only reason to upgrade your home. The following are a handful of the many benefits of energy-efficient homes.

• Live healthier: The benefits of energy-efficient homes aren’t just economic, though healthrelated benefits certainly produce an economic incentive as well. According to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, insulation and air sealing protect individuals from heat waves and other ripple effects of climate change. The ACEEE notes that weatherization can improve indoor air quality and comfort, a notable benefit for asthma sufferers and seniors. In fact, the ACEEE estimates that integrating energy efficiency programs in homes could reduce seniors’ risk for falls in their homes, potentially saving $2 billion in fall-related health care costs over the next decade, and improve asthma outcomes, which could reduce health care costs by as much as half a billion dollars.

Energy-efficient products and practices pay numerous dividends, making them a worthy expenditure for any homeowners looking to upgrade their homes.

If you have a fireplace that burns wood, you know that it loses all of its heat up the chimney. Rick Titus has a wood burning insert that will burn with the efficiency of a wood stove and fit inside your fireplace so it keeps your fireplace look.

If you have a gas log in your fireplace it also sends all of its heat up the chimney. Rick has Vent Free gas logs that can burn as efficient as a gas cook stove and burn with the damper closed, thus keeping all the heat in the house.

If you have one of the newer gas fireplaces that vents out the side of the home or up a chimney, Rick can convert it over to a Vent Free log and keep all the heat in the home.

So no matter what kind of fireplace you may have, Rick has an efficient solution for it. Call Rick or email him at yahtitus@ gmail.com or go to his web site below. Rick even has new fireplaces and wood stoves that can heat your home even during a power outage.
