4 Energy Saving Features that Make Your House More Sellable

With the cost of energy on the rise, ensuring energy efficiency in your home is a must.

However, while we should all want to protect our pockets with efficient energy, implementing energy saving measures can also make your home a more attractive prospect when it comes to putting it on the market.

If you’re looking for ways to make sure your home is energy efficient, then check out our four energy saving solutions you should consider implementing before you list your property.

1) Solar Panels

While this might be one of the most extreme ways to introduce greater energy efficiency to your home.

Solar panels are a pricey edition, so rather than installing them just before you move, have solar panels installed when you first move into a property, this way you can get years of use out of them before it comes time to sell up.

The Energy Saving Trust have put together this comprehensive guide on everything you need to know about solar energy and solar power, so discover the benefits today.

2) Double Glazing

Most homes in the UK are now double glazed, however, there are still some properties out there that only feature single glazed windows.

Single glazed units are one of the leading causes of heat loss in the home, so if you haven’t made the move towards double glazed windows, it can have a negative impact on you selling your property.

If you’re looking to have double glazed windows installed, then expert glaziers, such as those at Halifax Glass, can work with you from design to installation, fitting the perfect windows for your home.

3) Insulation

Even with double glazed windows, our homes lose heat through poorly insulated walls and loft space.

Not only will insulating your home help you to save on your heating bills, but you’ll also add value to your property – an important aspect when it comes time to sell.

Investing in insulation will help to keep you warm this winter, and make your property a more appealing prospect to potential purchasers!

4) Boiler Replacement

Older boilers don’t have the same energy efficiency rating as newer models, and while a new boiler isn’t cheap, ensuring that yours is up to scratch will benefit you in the short term – your bills will be low, and benefit you in the long run – your home will be a more profitable prospect when it comes time to sell.

If you’re looking to reduce your bills this winter, or are getting ready to put your property on the market, then consider replacing the boiler.

Even if your boiler is fairly new, you should have it serviced before you put your home on the market, this way you can ensure that it’s performing as it should be.

Energy saving solutions are an attractive feature for buyers, and the government website provides this handy guide on energy grants that can help you to heat your home.
