5 Money-Saving Services You Can Finance For Your Home
November 7, 2022
If you’re interested in lowering your home’s monthly energy and water costs, you may want to consider investing in a few money-saving home services. With the right financing plan attached to the right services, you can ensure the costs of the home services keep you within budget while delivering long-term savings. As you look for the best electrical, plumbing, or HVAC services, take a moment to review the top five money-saving services that you can finance.
1. Custom Greywater System Installation
As most Californians know, water conservation is crucial to both the costs of their water bills and the good of the wider community. One of the best ways you can save water and reduce your monthly water bill is with a custom Greywater system. Unlike the standard plumbing systems that let water flow into your sewer system after its first use, Greywater systems repurpose water from your sinks, laundry, and showers.
A Greywater system lets you reuse/repurpose that water for landscaping or gardening purposes. As a result, you can lower your home’s water consumption and keep your yard or garden looking great without wasting water. Besides lowering your water bill, these systems can also raise your home’s retail value, making it a cost-effective investment for many homeowners.
2. New AC Installation
As an air conditioner ages, it will use more energy and need more frequent repairs. If your air conditioner is 10-15 years old or older, it’s probably starting to break down, and you may want to consider investing in a new one.
Though a new AC will cost more than a repair, it can deliver some serious savings. For example, a new AC will use energy more efficiently, leading to lower utility bills. A new AC will also need fewer repairs, meaning you’ll save money on maintenance costs. Additionally, you can often find many rebates and tax credits for qualifying systems that lower the costs of purchasing one.
3. LED Lighting Installation
If your home still runs on incandescent lights, it’s time to switch over to LEDs. These lights come with several benefits over incandescent options, as LED lights offer greater durability, longer-lasting lifespans, and lower electricity costs. While LED lights have higher initial costs, they consume less energy, meaning they can save you money in the long run.
LED lights’ durability and long lifespan also make them a cost-effective choice. Since they last roughly around 17 years on average, you won’t have to pay for new bulbs for over a decade. Their durability also means they’ll be less likely to break prematurely, helping you save money on the costs of replacement bulbs.
4. Tankless Water Heater Installation
Homeowners that use an old standard water heater with a tank may want to switch over to a tankless model. Since Sacramento tank water heaters typically last 10-15 years before they need replacement, any homeowner with a water heater in this age range should consider replacing their old model with a tankless water heater.
Tankless water heaters don’t store water in a tank. Instead, they’ll only heat the water when you need it. Due to their tankless design, a tankless water heater can save money on energy costs since they won’t have to waste energy keeping a tank filled with gallons of water warm.
5. EV Charger Installation
If you have an electric vehicle, installing an EV charger at your home can help you reduce your spending on electricity for your vehicle. With an EV charger installed, you can charge your vehicle at home rather than paying for up-charged electricity at public stations. In addition to saving you money, at-home EV chargers give EV owners greater convenience and can increase a home’s resale value.
When you want to invest in an at-home EV charger, a Bonney electrician can install a ClipperCreek Level 1 ESVE or Level 2 ESVE charger or a Tesla charger at your home. The electrician can also ensure your new charger meets your charging needs and provides the lowest operating costs.
