From the growing popularity of electric cars to ordinances banning gas appliances in new homes, current trends in electricity-consumption are placing tremendous pressure on the power grid. Without a release valve, we could be looking at rolling blackouts and skyrocketing electric bills.
On this episode of Open House, Reba and Eric “take it to the man” (or at least electric companies) with guest Pam Burton, as they discuss the upcoming Northwest Green Home Tour, and ways to take your home to net zero.
You’ll learn:
- What it means to be “net zero” in terms of energy and resource consumption.
- Tips for making your home more energy efficient.
- Best conditions for installing solar panels.
- The impact of Covid on home design.
- The variety of home styles amenable to green upgrades.
- Installations and fixtures increasing your home’s salability (and others that, well… not so much.)
Plus a discussion of generational dynamics in homebuying, the impact of higher interest rates on would-be sellers, and changes in home renovation trends.
