An ENERGY STAR® Home is MORE than Appliances…

Benefits for Homeowners

Lower cost of ownership
ENERGY STAR qualified homes use substantially less energy for heating, cooling, and water heating. These homes will deliver $200 to $400 annual savings, compared to standard code built homes. Additional savings on maintenance can also be substantial.

Better performance
With an ENERGY STAR qualified home you can enjoy a home with even temperatures throughout the year. You’ll find it is warm in winter and cool in summer as well as free from drafts. Tightly-sealed duct-work, high-performance windows and properly installed insulation all contribute to making your home more comfortable.

Healthier indoor air quality
Performance-tested duct-work helps keep the air inside your home clean by reducing the possibility of drawing unwanted air from your home’s attic, basement, crawl spaces, garage and outdoor air.

Peace of mind
Relax knowing your home has been inspected and certified by an independent third party to meet ENERGY STAR’S rigorous standards. You have choices when it comes to energy efficiency for your new home, why not choose one that has earned the trusted ENERGY STAR label.

Protect our environment
What creates more pollution then your car? Your home! Yes, your home can be a greater source of pollution than your car. In fact, 16% of US greenhouse gas emissions are generated from the energy used in homes nationwide. Energy used in our homes often comes from the burning of fossil fuels at power plants, which contributes to smog, acid rain, and global warming. Simply put, the less energy we use in our homes, the less air pollution we generate.

Smart Investment
To date, more than 5,000 home builders have partnered with EPA to construct more than 840,000 ENERGY STAR qualified homes. By the end of the decade, more than 2 million homes are expected to earn the ENERGY STAR label. The trend is clear. By choosing a home with the ENERGY STAR label, you can be confident that it will have an increasingly valued feature when the time comes to sell.

Choose an ENERGY STAR qualified home and enjoy the benefits for a lifetime!
