Making the Home Energy-Efficient
Everyone is looking for a way to stretch their dollar. With rising costs and inflation, homeowners will be looking for ways to reduce the cost of their energy bills and make their homes more eco-friendly. Recently, the Inflation Reduction Act was passed, and homeowners have incentives with refunds to create an energy-efficient home in 2023. The Energy Efficiency Home Improvement Credit will allow homeowners to be eligible for their home improvements to be subsidized with tax credits. Part of the credit covers solar panels. Experts believe we will see an increase in solar usage in 2023.
Making the Home Energy-Efficient
With rising costs, people are getting more creative. With the new California laws that passed allowing more multi-residences on one property, friends and family are purchasing property together to split the home into multiple residences or add additional dwelling units to the property. Some homeowners are reconfiguring their floor plans and adding separate entrances and an extra kitchen to create multiple units on one property.
Regardless of the trends for 2023, make your home suit your needs so it’s functional and comforting for you and your family.
