Show That Income Property a Little Love.

Have You Thanked Your Income Property Lately?’

Your house gives a lot — shelter, warmth, security. How do you say thanks? Here are heartfelt ways to show your appreciation.

1. Give your house some time off (make systems work less).

Your house works hard to keep you cool in the summer and warm in winter. Repay the favor by saving energy — your house will be grateful for a lessened workload, and you’ll save money.

Tune up HVAC. Keeping your heating and cooling system running efficiently reduces the stress on mechanical parts and helps your HVAC last longer. You can inspect the HVAC yourself or have a pro do it for $50.00 to $100.00. Also:

• Change furnace filters every three months.

• Vacuum out floor registers and cold air return grills.

Upgrade attic insulation. Boosting attic insulation from R-11 to R-49 trims about $600.00 from your energy bill. An insulation contractor will charge about $1,500.00 to add insulation to an 800-sq.-ft. attic, so you’ll recoup your investment in three years.

Plus, with your home nice and toasty, your HVAC doesn’t have to work as hard trying to warm up your rooms.
