Eco-friendly Home Renovation

As scientific advances continue in the realm of home building and renovation, it is becoming increasingly affordable to ensure that your home is doing its part to reduce environmental impact. Running the furnace or air conditioner less is just one daily step that can be taken to combat independent energy consumption, but there are also many other avenues.

When considering an eco-friendly home renovation, investing in high-grade spray insulation can significantly increase temperature retention while also dramatically decreasing your utility bill. Energy-efficient, dual-pane windows will also offer optimal temperature regulation and leave you with the option to bring in a cool, fresh breeze at will. When you renovate any space or home with environmentalism in mind, you are given the unique opportunity to get behind the visible walls and fancy appliances and make upgrades to the unsung heroes of the home. These include proper electrical wiring, well-routed plumbing, and structural integrity.

Major appliances, such as tankless water heaters that only heat the water you need, also play an important role in eco-friendly home renovation. These aspects lead to a more efficient, environmentally friendly home, plus there’s never been a better time to consider renewable energy upgrades such as solar panels. These minor upgrades add up to a significant difference for your energy consumption and the planet’s well-being.

At PGC Building + Design, we keep aesthetics in mind. Just because you are putting the environment first, doesn’t mean your space must sacrifice in the areas of beauty, functionality, or efficiency. In fact, this is where we can show off our creative flair. We think outside the box, behind the walls, and in the crevices. Hidden utility closets, flush finishes, and chic appliances are only some of the many creative options we utilize. By working together, we can create the perfect home that complements your style while remaining aware of Mother Earth.
