July 31, 2018
As you become more conscious of the environment and aim to reduce your carbon footprint, you will most likely put more of a premium on products and features that promote energy efficiency. Your home should be no exception. If you're thinking about putting your home on the market, you should consider the steps below to get started "going green." You'll cut costs and make your home more desirable to buyers at the same time. In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, going green can reduce your bills by as much as 25 percent. To achieve those savings, try one or more of the following green home trends:
Environmentally friendly LED lighting gives off the same light as regular bulbs, but lasts 50 times longer.
Don't laugh, but low flush toilets which use one or two gallons of water per flush are far superior compared to typical toilets which use three to five gallons.
Appliances marked with the ENERGY STAR label meet the strict energy-efficiency guidelines set by the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy.
