To install solar panels and a geothermal heat pump in the Boston area might cost about $100K retail, which seems like a non-starter UNLESS incorporating these into a mortgage made financial sense for the buyer, and...appraisers factored this into the appraisal valueSo in other words, if the additional amount on a 30 year mortgage were offset by energy savings & programs, AND the buyer was able to live carbon-free, it seems that this might attract a savvy and enlightened buyer.

I've fixed pretty much everything unless it was over my skill set (replacing capacitor on A/C system, for instance; landlord told me when I moved in it was okay to repaint or whatever as long as it improved the house), my neighbors love me - they've told him so; I've resodded the yard twice (FL grass sucks with a dog), had the landscape crew redo the trees in front so they look good, replanted flower beds (perennials), power washed the house every year after wet season ended, ensured the pest control worked...The BUT part ...As a sole practioning consultant (pre-IPO weakness remediation, large financial systems implementations, global audit recommendations for SEC registrants, etc.) at times during the last 3 years things have been sink or sink lower credit wise and the ID theft didn't help (apparently, I bought a car in GA and own some property in TX).

Getting my ducts in a row so when she blows, I will have a plan to implement the new system.
