Convenient Home Features

If you like convenience gadgets or even useful uncommon features, start looking around some of the newer homes and asking questions. Parade of Homes is a great way to view open houses in the Birmingham area while checking out the newest features in home building. Check out the Parade of Homes here in Birmingham this weekend, Nov 9th through the 11th.

Are you aware that you can have instant hot water at every sink in your house for very little money or ongoing expense? All it takes is a little, tiny pump on the hot water line coming out of your hot water tank and a return pipe from the end of the hot water run back to your tank. This will also give you a little extra hot water as well as saving money on your water bill because you won’t have to leave the hot water running just to get hot water to your bathroom.

Another convenient feature is a central vacuum system. You can clean quickly and not have to drag the cleaner all over the house.

There are other inexpensive features you may want to ask about if you are shopping for or building a new house.
