Affordable Home Improvement Ideas with High ROI
Not every home improvement project requires a home loan to add measurable resale value. There are several affordable home upgrades that boast an excellent return on investment (ROI), many of which have an immediate impact on your monthly energy bills. For Ocean Isle homeowners looking for cost-effective home projects that won’t break the bank, these HVAC and plumbing upgrades are smart investments with short payback periods.
Your #1 HVAC Upgrade? Choose a Heat Pump
Talk about a two-for-one. Not only are heat pumps more energy efficient than central air conditioning in summer, they’re actually better than any heating system unless temperatures are below zero. When it’s time to replace your AC, furnace, or boiler, switching to a heat pump offers an ROI of roughly 60% in the first year alone!
Look for federal, state, or local rebates and tax credits to offset upfront installation costs. Or, ask A+ Heating & Cooling - Electrical to help you determine which programs you qualify for!
Other cost-effective HVAC upgrades include installing a smart thermostat, adding or replacing insulation, and sealing your ductwork.
Home Lighting Upgrades
Residential lighting upgrades have an average ROI of approximately 100% in the first three years! And since LED bulbs typically last up to 15 years, homeowners tend to save hundreds of dollars by the time the bulb needs to be replaced. Similar to HVAC systems, you may qualify for rebates on LED lighting and related systems.
- Indoors: Choose lighting fixtures and bulbs that complement your home’s natural light to reduce your electricity use. Add new fixtures in dark areas of the house or introduce clever lighting, such as under-cabinet lighting, to increase visibility.
- Outdoors: Use lighting to enhance your home’s curb appeal. Bright, warm exterior lighting may also attract prospective buyers.
