#2 ENERGY EFFICIENCY
With rising utility costs, lack of energy efficiency in an old home is also a major consideration and upgrades in this area can be cost prohibitive. Insulation in ceilings, walls and floors is often sub-standard or non-existent and old style windows waste heat and air almost as badly as if they were open. Cachet Homes installs energy efficient dual pane low E windows in their homes.
Also, very old air-conditioning and heating equipment is typically not designed for efficient use of fuel, requiring more money to produce a comfortable living temperature. Cachet uses high efficiency 13-SEER units and programmable digital thermostats to help buyers save money and energy.
