2. Energy Efficient Homes Saves Both Energy And Homeownership
Today, in honor of Earth Day, I thought I would bring to you some energy efficient tips
not only for home owners, for tenants as well as you are all responsible for your own
electric bill. I recently had done an HVAC annual maintenance check up, such check up
should be done by a licensed and reputable company not just once but really twice a
year. If you live within city limits, the City of Lakeland will provide you with a $50.00
rebate/credit on your utility bill for such a service. They also have programs available for
insulation where you can save $200. For more information about energy savings

3. Energy Efficient Homes Saves Both Energy And Homeownership
Buying energy efficient Lakeland Fl homes or
upgrading your existing Lakeland Fl home for better
energy efficiency doesn’t just save the homeowner
on energy bills but allows a more sustainable
homeownership.

An Energy Star-rated home has 1/3 lower chances of a mortgage
default than a home without this rating, according to “Home Energy
Efficiency and Mortgage Risks,” by the University of North Carolina
(UNC).
5. Energy Efficient Homes Saves Both Energy And Homeownership
What’s the connection between the energy efficiency and defaulting on mortgage
payments? It’s simply due to the fact that energy efficient homeowners save more
money on their energy bills, so they could put that money toward their monthly
mortgage.

The study also found that Energy Star homeowners were one-quarter less likely to
prepay when it comes to their mortgage. Because lenders consider prepayment a risk,
these loans are more valuable to lenders, according to the study.

Energy efficient homes also add more value to the home. Aside from saving on energy
bills and having more money to pay for mortgage, homeowners with solar-powered
Lakeland Fl homes can get up to $20,000 added value to their homes, which could help
them get out of a financial difficulty in the form of a cash-out refinance, home equity
loan, or putting up their Lakeland Fl home for sale.
