With fewer houses being sold, homeowners are staying put – and making the most of what they have. Remodeling spending is expected to see double-digit growth in 2011, according to the Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity, released last week by the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University.
Particularly popular in a stressed economy are green home improvement projects that increase energy savings, as well as homeowners' satisfaction in their homes.
"Zoning your heating and cooling is a smart, green home improvement that helps you get comfortable in every room of your home, and save up to 25% on your energy bills," says Richard Foster, president of ZONEFIRST, Inc. "Plus, a house with zoned heating and cooling is more attractive to home buyers when you're looking to sell down the road."
ZONEFIRST has introduced a new video that shows homeowners just how easy it is to add zoning to an existing home.
"The perfect time to consider zoning is when you're remodeling," says Foster. "Often builders and remodelers are quick to add more heating and cooling equipment, which is costly – and not very eco-friendly. Instead, zoning helps you use your existing equipment to heat or cool the renovated space."
