When we are looking to sell our home we usually look at the way the value will be increased if we undertake a visually stunning upgrade to our home. Increasing the value of a home can also be done by undertaking a few projects that are not easily visible to the naked eye. Curb appeal is one option when you are looking to increase the value of your home but completing some projects that lower utility bills can add huge amounts to the assessed cost of a property.

Go Tankless

When you are looking to increase the value of your property you will usually find yourself faced with a number of possible upgrades, including the ability to provide on-demand hot water. A hot water plumber will be able to install and maintain a tankless water heater that can lower your water and power usage by a large amount. A tankless hot water heater is installed close to a bathroom or kitchen and provides a simple solution to almost instant hot water to limit losses associated with a traditional large tank supplying hot water.

Insulate Crawl Spaces and Attics

More than ever before, the ability to save money and lower power bills have become a major selling point for all potential buyers. Although it is not a part of your property that will be seen, insulated crawl space and attic will improve the resale value with ease. Limiting the amount of heat and power loss through the crawl space and attic means you can lower bills and keep your property as comfortable as possible when it comes to heating and cooling utility bills.

Weatherproofing Windows and Doors

The weatherproofing of a property is something that is difficult to see but the ability to explain to a potential buyer they will have few utility bills in the future will only add to resale value. The sealing of gaps and cracks in windows and doors may not be the most aesthetically pleasing project to undertake but it can bring excellent results and lower utility bills.

Consider Air Conditioning Upgrades

One of the most expensive and important aspects of your home is the air conditioning unit which could be a project adding value to your property. The latest green option for the majority of the U.S. Homes is to undertake the installation of a whole-house fan that lowers costs and provides an important way of upgrading a property for resale.

Home upgrades aren’t always centered on new paint colors and cabinets. The non-visual aspects of home maintenance are equally important. Consider the above four ways to upgrade your home and add extra value.
