What is the most important renovation for energy savings?

By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®

Adding attic insulation typically offers the fastest payback of any home improvement. Properly sealing air leaks around windows, doors, and ductwork is a close second. Upgrading to energy-efficient windows, a smart thermostat, and Energy Star appliances also reduce consumption significantly.

Why It Matters

Energy-saving renovations reduce your monthly utility bills and increase your home's comfort. Many qualify for tax credits or utility rebates.
