After over a decade in my home in a sunny area, I wish I would have replaced the windows with energy efficient ones when I first moved in. Just the savings on power over the past 10 years would have made them worth it. I'm pretty sure I'd have at least broken even by now.
All this to say, if I were building a new home, I would make it as energy efficient as possible as soon as possible. In my mind, it would be an investment, not maintenance.
- m463 2y ago> when I first moved in I think many people fall into this trap. When you first move in, there is always too much going on. Buying/Selling, moving, getting accustomed to the house, area, etc. But it is the perfect time to redo things in the empty, unused house. Put in a new electric panel. Add ethernet, or outlets, or rewire all the rooms. redo the shower, kitchen, laundry, etc insulate the attic. Change out the garage door opener. or redo the windows. The minute you move in all of this becomes measurably harder.
