Since energy prices continue to climb steadily, you’re likely looking for every possible type of remodeling project that would increase your energy efficiency. Fortunately, several options directly affect the way that your home produces and uses it. Put together, they can make a significant difference in your monthly bills. 

3 Remodeling Projects to Enhance Energy Efficiency 

1. Door & Window Installation or Replacement 

remodelingWindows should provide enough light that you don’t need to turn on the lights more often than necessary. Storm doors, too, are useful additions for helping old doors stay insulated. If you find that you’re constantly caulking cracks in your windows or doors, or that you could use more light, call a remodeling contractor about replacing them or installing more. 

2. Roof Repair & Replacement 

Like doors and windows, roofs are meant to regulate energy by insulating your home. Metal and tile roofs tend to be best at accomplishing this objective, and the lighter their color, the better. However, they need to be free of cracks and holes, so if you can see any from a safe vantage point on the ground, call for repairs.

Over time, the roofing material simply wears out. In that case, talk to a home improvement contractor about replacing the structure entirely and choose light-colored metal or tile. 

3. New Appliances 

As technology continues to advance, energy appliances are becoming more efficient at fulfilling their roles. If you’ve ever wanted an excuse to redo your kitchen or living room, this could be it. A remodeling contractor can install a new refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, ovens, light fixtures, and other items that are Energy Star-certified. Right after the project is complete, you’ll notice a difference in your energy bill.
