About 6 Ways to Make a Financial Case for Residential Efficiency Upgrades™
When you actually do the math, home energy upgrades can provide a better risk-adjusted return than most other investment alternatives. Think about it. Even a five-year-payback improvement equates to a 20% return per year. That's in addition to the improved comfort and convenience that many energy upgrades provide the homeowner, which other investment alternatives don't provide. And while today's interest rates have raised the cost of doing upgrades, there are still plenty of ways to demonstrate to a homeowner that a whole-home energy upgrade is one of the smartest investments out there. This session will explore a half-dozen ways to prove the financial merits of residential energy upgrades.
After completing this course,
you will be able to:
- Present energy upgrades as outperforming common investment options in after-tax returns.
- Show how efficiency projects can recover costs at sale, boost home value, and speed up sales transactions.
- Explain how energy efficiency can improve mortgage qualification and affordability.
- Use utility savings to illustrate increased borrowing power or faster mortgage payoff.
- Blend financial and comfort benefits to create a compelling case for action.
