Is your home energy efficient?
Roughly 20 million U.S. adults move every year, and June through September is the peak season for home-buying. While price is often the main deal-closer, homebuyers should keep in mind that the monthly mortgage isn't the only thing that will impact their pocketbooks. Identifying simple things such as orientation of the windows and types of appliances can help determine the amount of energy your new home will use. Below are resources and tools to help you identify a sound investment for years to come.
Home Energy Efficiency Checklist
Print the Home Energy Efficiency Checklist (PDF) and take it along with you as you view properties with your real estate agent. You may also want to provide this list to your home inspector when he or she is conducting an inspection on the home you plan to purchase. This list identifies simple things when you should evaluate when determining the efficiency of your prospective home.
Home Energy Center
The Home Energy Center is a tool that can help you, as a buyer, determine the efficiency of a prospective property. To get a property profile is easy: just enter the property's five-digit ZIP code and click 'GO'.
