Benefits of owning one of our ENERGY STAR® qualified new homes include: Lower Utility Costs - Compared with standard homes, ENERGY STAR qualified new homes use substantially less energy for heating, cooling, and hot water heating. Homeowners can expect to save about $200-$400 annually on their utility bills. More Comfortable/Quieter Homes - The energy-efficient features of ENERGY STAR qualified new homes keep out excessive heat, cold, and noise, and ensure consistent temperatures between and across rooms—making these homes more comfortable to live in. Helping to Create a Better Future - By purchasing an ENERGY STAR qualified new home, you are joining millions of consumers who have changed to ENERGY STAR, helping our nation reduce our energy needs and building a cleaner environment for the future. Features of our ENERGY STAR® qualified new homes include: High-performance Windows - High-performance windows help keep heat in during winter and out during summer. They also block damaging ultraviolet sunlight that can discolor carpets and furniture. Tight Construction and Tight Ducts - Tight ducts and tight construction help eliminate drafts, moisture, dust, pests, and pollen. This improves comfort and the quality of indoor air, while lowering maintenance costs. Energy-efficient Heating and Cooling Equipment - More efficient and properly installed heating and cooling systems use less energy, which reduces utility bills. These systems also turn on and off less frequently, removing more humidity and providing better comfort. Learn more about ENERGY STAR® qualified new homes at http://www.energystar.gov/. |
