Tips for Making an Old Home More Energy Efficient During the …

November 30, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Richmond, Virginia (PRWEB) November 30, 2013

Old homes are often full of charm and classic beauty, but they can also require a lot of maintenance and upkeep. Additionally, many old homes are also significantly less energy efficient than new homes because of things like insulation that isn’t efficient, drafty windows and doors, and outdated heating and cooling equipment. SecuritySystemReviews.com, a home security system comparison resource of companies like Lifeshield security systems, has created a list of ways owners of older homes can maximize their efficiency.

1.    Old homeowners should consider insulating attic spaces. This can have a tremendous impact on a home’s energy efficiency, and significantly reduce heating and cooling costs. The best types of insulation available now are blow-in spray foam options. Insulating an attic can be a fairly easy DIY project, and many home improvement stores rent the necessary equipment, including insulation blowers.

2.    If it’s feasible from a budgetary standpoint, replace old windows and doors and choose new, energy efficient options. Since this is expensive, adding storm shutters and clear plastic coating to windows can help an old home be more efficient. For homeowners who can’t replace doors and windows, adding window stripping and caulk is also a good idea.

3.    Insulate the hot water heater and associated pipes, and keep the thermostat set at 120 degrees Fahrenheit. If possible, consider a tankless water-heating unit. These are an upfront investment, but they save money in the long-term, because they only heat water when it’s needed.

4.    Enact home heating zones. This means strategizing to heat a home based on usage. For example, heat the downstairs of an old home during the day, and the upstairs at night.

5.    If an old home also has old appliances, it may be worthwhile to invest in newer energy saving models. While there are some things owners of older homes can’t control without big remodeling investments, this is a less expensive alternative.

6.    Just because a home is old doesn’t mean it can’t take advantage of new technology, like home automation systems. A home automation system can allow owners of older homes to control the systems located within, even remotely, including the thermostat.
