You might have wondered about building a green home in the past, but had some reservations about how much it was going to cost. You may be surprised to learn that many of the green switches you make in an Asheville custom home design might actually end up saving you tons of money! Let’s dive further into these savings options below. 

Energy Savings

It has been found that green-built homes are saving consumers up to 60% on energy costs alone. With the average North Carolina energy cost being around $116/month, you could save up to $800+ per year with a few energy efficient changes. 

Tax Incentives

The government is offering certain tax incentives for various green building initiatives that you can take full advantage of where applicable. With these incentives, you could pay for further renovations on your property or enjoy that vacation you’ve been dreaming of!

Less Maintenance

Choosing certain green features in your home means more durability, longevity, and, therefore, less overall maintenance. Decreasing the amount of maintenance that is needed means more money in your wallet. 

Raises Your Property Value

Research indicates that having a green-built home increases your property value by at least 10% compared to similar properties on average. Therefore, your green-built home is also a long-term wealth investment for you and your family.

These are just a few of the many ways that building green can actually save you money. So, whether or not you are interested in home renovations or a custom home design, consider speaking with Brock Builders green build experts on the unique money-saving opportunities for your home!
