Why ENERGY STAR?

Would you like a home that’s wonderfully comfortable with healthy indoor air and no drafts?   A home with a comfortable bonus room, low energy bills and one where you don’t have to turn on the heat or air as soon as the temperature changes?  A home that you know is well-built and energy efficient, with attention to detail in the areas you can’t see – and you know it is because an independent company checked it at several stages during the building process?  You can have this kind of home – it’s an ENERGY STAR qualified home.

ENERGY STAR qualified homes are:

  • More comfortable
  • Healthier, with better indoor air quality
  • More durable, with less rot and mold
  • Quieter
  • Less expensive to run.
  • Typically 20% to 30% more efficient than standard homes
  • Better for the environment

Many electric companies now reward ENERGY STAR homes; Progress Energy and Duke Energy both offer a 5% discount on electric bills for ENERGY STAR homes.  This discount runs for the life of the house so it’s a great marketing plus at resale time.  Also, if your ENERGY STAR home has natural gas appliances, PSNC offers a discount.

With an ENERGY STAR qualified home, you can have peace of mind knowing that your home is well-built, healthier for your family, is easier on the environment – and all of this with lower energy bills.
