When Cliff and Karen Tyllick set out to install solar panels on their Austin, Texas, home in 2012, their goal was to reduce their carbon footprint. The fact that they also saved thousands of dollars upfront and lowered their bills was a nice bonus.
Solar panel installation can cost $15,000 to $25,000 or more. For the Tyllicks, federal and local incentives significantly cut their costs – they now frequently don’t pay for electricity, and when they do, it costs between $30 and $50 per month.
Whether you’re incorporating sustainability into your kitchen remodel or making specific changes to lower your utility bills, a green remodel can save you money long-term if not now.
