Patrick Administration Proposes Mandatory Home Engery Efficiency Inspection At Time Of Sale
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick's administration has proposed a bill that would require an energy efficiency inspection as part of the home sale process, the Boston Herald reported on January 9, 2008.
Homeowners across the state would need to have energy audits done on their properties before selling them, if the proposal passes.
"The requirement could take $15 million a year out of the pockets of home sellers in Massachusetts, with the inspections likely to cost anywhere from $150 to $300, the Massachusetts Association of Realtors estimates. The inspections are part of a sweeping energy reform bill backed by the Patrick administration and set to be debated in the state Senate."
