Benefits of Ownership
Owning a highly energy efficient home means you are saving money, increasing the comfort of your home and protecting the environment.
- Energy cost savings – Monthly savings from reduced energy usage can help you free up cash for buying that new sofa or qualifying for a higher mortgage. In addition, higher quality equipment lasts longer and costs less to maintain over time.
- All-season comfort & indoor air quality – Tight construction, higher insulation levels and upgraded windows add up to a more comfortable home. You’ll also experience less noise, fewer drafts and hot/cold spots, less airborne dust, and reduced exposure to pollutants.
- Higher resale value – The upgrades found in a high energy efficient home result in years of lower utility bills, which can help boost the resale value of your home when it comes time to sell. Remember to incorporate LED bulbs and fixtures to maximize your savings.
- Protecting the environment – These homes use less energy, helping to reduce the amount of air pollution created by household consumption. It’s a natural way to help the environment and one more reason to feel good about building a high energy efficient home.
