Low Cost Energy Saving Tips For Montgomery Homeowners

Thursday, February 12, 2009
by The Hat Team
I found a great website, Energy Savers, with low cost energy saving tips for Montgomery homeowners. This site provides homeowners with tips for saving energy and money at home and on the road.
 
By following just a few of the simple tips found on this Energy Savers Web site, you can make your home more comfortable and easier to heat and cool—while you save money. The site also helps you beat the high cost of fuel, with driving and car maintenance tips to save you money on the road.

Some easy low-cost and no-cost ways to save energy include: 

  • Install a programmable thermostat to keep your house comfortably warm in the winter and comfortably cool in the summer.
  • Use compact fluorescent light bulbs with the ENERGY STAR® label.
  • Air dry dishes instead of using your dishwasher's drying cycle.
  • Turn off your computer and monitor when not in use.
  • Plug home electronics, such as TVs and DVD players, into power strips; turn the power strips off when the equipment is not in use (TVs and DVDs in standby mode still use several watts of power).
  • Lower the thermostat on your hot water heater to 120°F.
  • Take short showers instead of baths.
  • Wash only full loads of dishes and clothes.
  • Drive sensibly. Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) wastes gasoline.
  • Look for the ENERGY STAR label on home appliances and products. ENERGY STAR products meet strict efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency. 
The information on this Web site is also available in PDF format (PDF 2.7 MB).
 
If you are a Montgomery homeowner, I encourage you to check out Energy Savers. Following a few of their suggestions will not only put more money in your pocket, but make our planet healthier and greener.

Should I Be Movin' On Up To A Larger Montgomery Home?

Friday, February 6, 2009
by The Hat Team
Should I Be Movin' On Up To A Larger Montgomery Home? 
 
Should I move up to a larger home is a question many Montgomery homeowners are asking. The questions below will help you decide whether you’re ready for a home that’s larger or in a more desirable location.
 
1. Have you built substantial equity in your current home?
 
If you have owned your Montgomery home for a number of years you might have built up some equity. Look at your annual mortgage statement or call your lender to determine your loan balance. Then give me a call to determine your home’s market value. The difference between your loan amount and market value is your equity. You can also get your market value for your Montgomery home by clicking here.
 
2. Has your income or financial situation improved?
 
If your income has increased, you may be able to afford a higher mortgage payment. 
 
3. Have you outgrown your neighborhood?
 
Often, the neighborhood or location you buy your first home in may no longer suit your needs. You may want to be closer to work, be in a better school district or have a home on a lake rather than close to it.
 
4. Are there reasons why you can’t remodel or add on?
 
Sometimes adding on to your current home is the answer. If you will end over-improving for the neighborhood, moving may be a better option.
 
5. Are you comfortable moving in the current housing market?
 
In the current Montgomery real estate market, your home may not sell quickly for what it would have a few years ago, but the home you buy also less expensive expensive.
 
6. Are interest rates attractive?
A low rate not only helps you buy a larger home, but also makes it easier to find a buyer and interest rates are currently at record lows.
 
If you answer yes to most of the questions, it’s a sign that you may be ready to move. If so, please visit HatTeam.com to learn more about buying a Montgomery home or give me a call. I’m glad to help!
