Energy deregulation and house renovation are generally not seen as related issues, but the trend towards energy deregulation will have an impact on homeowners, especially those that are contemplating renovations.
What is the connection between energy deregulation and home renovations? Energy deregulation will eventually end the monopoly that utilities have in providing energy, and, as a result, deregulation will provide an opportunity for more options for builders, renovators and consumers, when renovating homes and businesses.
Energy deregulation has made new energy choices not available to homeowners and renovation contractors before. There are now, or will be, new alternative energy sources at different price ranges for those who renovate and update their home or business. Energy deregulation not only opens up price and payment options, it also will provide options as to what kind of energy source can be provided, depending on locality and current end energy resources available. Homeowners and Renovators will have more options when it comes to providing better, more efficient energy, depending on local environmental sources and conditions.
In Conservation terms, there are “brown” energy and “green” energy solutions. Those about to build or renovate a home or office should certainly consider “green” options, but in areas where completely “green” solutions are not feasible, “brown” energy solutions, a mix of traditional energy sources and any available “green” alternatives can be used. Those who to renovate specific areas of a home have the chance to acquire energy efficient sources incrementally.
One thing is necessary in all circumstances. Achieving energy efficiency at home or in the office will not happen if businesses and homeowners will not take advantage of any opportunity to renovate with efficient and available energy saving resources.
