Greening Your Home with Guides from MyHammer
According to a recent survey, 64% of homeowners say they are going to invest in renovations this year, and a third of them say they will use green home improvement guides, such as the guides from MyHammer, to make more eco-friendly choices. Many are choosing to spend on energy saving measures because of the long-term, cost-saving benefits, but too many may be throwing their money away by selecting the most complex and expensive renovation choices, like windows and renewables.
Yet the amount that people say they are planning to spend on home improvements is significantly less than in 2011, dropping from an average of $6200 to $3400. This likely has much to do with the sustained downturn in the US real estate /a> market, yet the fact is that you will not get a lot of replacement windows or solar panels for $3400. This means that, for now, most environmentally conscious homes will probably opt for smaller scale green home improvements.
