Like, what is the reason why you want it?

And again, in this times that we're living in, you should always consider, is it going to be an actual valuable investment in your home?

Because it may be a better investment to actually retrofit your house and increase the energy efficiency of your home.

Take advantage of the grants.

And you will definitely hold that value within the home if you're going to sell it.

Yeah, exactly.

You don't see it.

No, you don't see it.

And again, look...

let's be honest, everybody would love to see the brand new kitchen and be able to show the kitchen off and they feel as though that's a good investment.

But if you sell the house, a lot of times the first thing that people do is they come in and they take out that kitchen and put in their own kitchen or they change it.

So you may be putting an investment into your home, but that may not help increase the value of your home.

Whereas if you put your investment into increasing the thermal efficiency of your home, take advantage of the SCAO grants.

You're going to add, obviously you're going to improve your comfort levels in your home.

You're going to improve

the thermal efficiency of your home and you are starting to see that that is helping increase the value of your home.

Yeah.

And for a period of time, people were saying, you know, location, location, location was what dictated, you know, cost.

And that's never going to go away.

But there's definitely been a swing towards if you're going to go and put a bid in on a home and you know that it's an F-rated home, you know that you've got to keep a certain amount of money over to increase the efficiency of the home.
