THE GREAT REAL Green Home myth and the green revolution, such as separate fact FICTION: A lot of marketing hype (fiction) and many good things (data) were due to the recent public interest in the Green Homes General. Ten years ago, when we talk about how energy efficient and maintenance free our houses nice people we have carried out coordinated. Well, a lot of attention when we say all the great things we do to reduce your home energy efficient and operating costs and maintenance. So the problem is that now everyone jumped on the train is green building is difficult, try the facts (the good things that are really efficient at your house more energy and save money) away from the fiction (Hype Marketing, empty your wallet and no or very little return on investment).
Especially not believe everything you read or see on television.
WINDOWS: ads claimed that their house is energy efficient automatically when your Windows more than ten years, purely (Fiction) are. The (fact) that the maintenance window for a high efficiency was as good as no date is available to low over ten years. The question is, in fact, the builders of the quality start working from home or using cheaper materials and timber are found when he built his house. If you use a good quality window with a touch of good energy, then there is no reason to replace the windows. So make sure you really need new windows, before you start shelling money can not make a big difference in their energy bills.
HVAC: The claims that the warmth of his house and automatic air replaced if it must be a year only fiction. have made, despite significant gains in efficiency units heat and air in the last few years, it is also true that if your home was the best equipment and installation construction techniques Ten years is probably not the replacement cost of the system until he has lived his life . Even if your device is supported and / or unit was of poor quality at the outset that there is an improvement if done properly, is amortized over a relatively short time and make lots of money in the years to come.
ROOF: If your house is less than 30 years and someone tells you that you need a new roof, get a second opinion. If your house was using the right quality roofing materials and managed to install the roof should last 30 years or more. Instead of wasting money to replace a roof replacement is not necessary for money to install skylights and thermostat really save money on your heating and cooling.
How is determine the value of improving energy efficiency at home, to estimate how long it pay for itself and start making money in your pocket. For example, if the price difference between a top of the heat pump with high efficiency and quality manufacturer of heat pump is two thousand dollars and the investment you save thousands of dollars a year on your power bill we talk about an improvement in economic housing. Better yet, if spending hundred dollars to replace all door seals are damaged or worn outside of your home reduced by ten percent of heating and cooling bills each month, the actual costs is improving the efficiency in your home.
