Utility bills got you shivering? You're not alone. This week on Real Estate Today, we're tackling winter head-on to help you keep the elements out and your utility bills down. Whether you're a homeowner, renter, or just tired of battling drafts and high energy costs, we've got tips to help you stay comfortable, save money, and protect your home this season. You'll learn how to prevent frozen pipes, maintain your roof, and seal drafts. We also cover the green and energy-efficient home features buyers are seeking and the surprises homeowners may encounter when filing insurance claims. Guests include Kathleen McQuilkin, real estate pro; Scott Wharton, franchise business coach with HouseMaster Home Inspections; Travis Hodges, managing director of VIU; and Michael Wagner, president of Roof Scientist. Plus, in our Hot or Not segment, we discuss disaster-proof homes and greenwashing.
