Today I'm with Mark Garza, the president of Kingdom Builders here in Corpus Christi. He's going to be speaking with us about why energy efficient homes are important, and why energy education is also important. Mark says that many people think about the cost of homes in terms of mortgage payments, interest rates, and insurance costs.
However, not a lot of people consider the cost of a home in terms of its efficiency. What I'm talking about is similar to the MPG that a car gets. For example, 50% of the electricity bill in a home goes towards the costs of heating and cooling. For this reason alone, it may be a good idea to invest in a home with a better heating and cooling system.
Another good idea to reduce energy costs is to install a tank-less water heater. The light bulbs that you use can also have an impact. LED lights versus incandescent lights can make a big impact when going to pay your energy bills.
You're either going to pay for energy efficiency, or energy deficiency. One way or another the money will be spent, so why not use a more efficient system to conserve your money? Energy efficient systems can save you thousands and thousands of dollars over the lifetime of your loan.
If you have any questions for me or for Mark, please don't hesitate to contact me. As always, please refer to me for any of your buying or selling needs in Corpus Christi!
