Living in a state characterized by oppressive heat in the summer and limited rainfall, it is not only smart to make energy-efficient upgrades to your home, it is vital. Whether ordering a remodel or looking to offset rising energy costs, with some smart upgrades, you can support conditions that allow for a cooler space, save money, and reduce your carbon footprint.
At HLM Construction and Remodeling, we help homeowners in Las Vegas, Henderson, and the surrounding area make smart, thoughtful, long-term improvements. Here is your 2025 guide to energy-efficient home upgrades in Nevada.
Why Is Energy Efficiency Important in Nevada
Homeowners in Nevada face some environmental challenges: extreme heat, drought (little rainfall), and high energy demand. Energy-efficient upgrades can have a positive impact on the environment in several ways:
- Lower utility bills year-round
- Improve indoor quality and comfort
- Extend the life of HVAC systems
- Improve property value
- Qualify for local and/or federal energy rebates
With modern materials and smart design, it’s easier than ever to make your house less of a burden on the environment and cost less to own.
1. Smart Thermostats
Putting in a smart thermostat is a practical and inexpensive way to better manage the energy usage in your home. Smart thermostats learn your routines and can adjust temperatures automatically, so you waste less energy.
Pro Tip: Combining this with a zoned HVAC system can save you the most money and put the most control in your hands.
2. High-Efficiency Windows & Insulation
In Nevada, heat gain caused by old windows can increase your cooling costs. Double- or triple-pane windows with low-E coatings can help with indoor temperatures and can reduce the strain on your AC.
And don’t forget about insulation. Proper insulation in your attic, walls, and floors can help keep your house cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
3. LED Lighting & Smart Fixtures
Switching all of your old bulbs and light fixtures to LED lights and LED fixtures can help minimize lighting costs by up to 75%. If you want to take it a step further, consider a smart lighting system to control usage on the go with your phone.
We can work lighting upgrades into almost any remodel project, whether you are working on a kitchen, bathroom, or full home remodeling.
4. Energy-Efficient Appliances
During your kitchen or laundry room remodel, choose ENERGY STAR-rated appliances. These new appliances use less electricity and water but offer more features and a longer lifespan.
Best Upgrades Are:
- Refrigerators
- Dishwashers
- Washers/Dryers
- Ovens and ranges
5. Solar-Ready Construction
Thinking ahead? Lots of Nevada homeowners are getting their homes ready for solar panel installation—even if they aren’t quite ready to install yet.
We can design your addition or remodel with appropriate roof orientation, conduit runs, and electrical panels to allow easier and less costly future solar integration.
6. Artificial Grass Installation
Nevada lawns consume hundreds of gallons of water. Artificial grass is a green, low-impact choice that is stunning throughout the year and conserves thousands of gallons of water annually.
At HLM Construction, we are installing high-quality, pet-friendly grass that can withstand the harsh desert climate.
