Copenhagen, what does it Mean.

By Harry

 

 One of the main questions we get as realtors from a buyer is ” What are

 the Heating and utility costs”
 
 What ever your point of view or the outcome from the conference in Copenhagen.

 Energy, whatever it is , oil, natural gas, electricity or now water,It is going to

 cost more, alot more.

 The Ontario government recently proposed a mandatory energy audit for any resale

 property, they had to back off the bill when they were informed by the Ontario Real

 Estate Association that there are not enough auditors to perform the audits.

 However, as a property owner, residential, mutifamily or commercial this may be

 a very good decision, to have an energy audit performed.

 
 Residential and MultiFamily Properties
 
 The energy audit will focus on the main causes of energy losses, ie HVAC

 systems, Hot water tanks, Windows/Doors, Electrical lighting and appliances,

 Water systems and Insulation. This audit will allow you to focus and replace

 the worst offenders.

 The energy audit is also the first step to qualifing for the grants from the

 federal and provincial governments. These grants can be substantial, especially

 for furnaces and HVAC systems. Follow the link on my blog to the CMHC website and

 go to the link for residential and to the programs that are apllicable.

 If you were planning to replace a furnace or windows it only makes sense to take

 advantage of all of these grants.

 Large Commercial Buildings.

 If you are an owner operator by working with a qualified HVAC contactor and Electrical

 contactor you can reduce your energy costs and increase your Net Operating Costs.

 If you are a landlord you can help your tenants by keeping their operating costs,
 
 down. This may mean you can increase your base rent, or keep your good tenants

 and reduce your turn over.

 Whatever the type of property, an energy audit and your investment in energy efficentcy

 will ultimately lead to a higher resale price.
