Homeowner Benefits By Following Energy-Efficient Guidelines
1) Lower Annual Bills: Homes built to Energy Star standards use less energy for cooling and heating homes. Compared with standard homes, an Energy Star home saves the customer between $200-400 per year! When you choose to build using the Energy Star guidlines you may qualify for energy efficient mortgages which can save you money.
2) Healthier Living Environment: An energy-efficient home built by Duinkerken Homes, helps protect your family against drafts, air pollution, noise, and moisture. By following the Energy Star guidelines, consistent temperatures in all rooms result in improved air quality, therefore leaving your family breathing clean healthy air.
3) Increased Home Value: It is estimated that more that 750,000 homes have been built using the Energy Star guidelines. Energy Star estimates that they will have more than 2 million homes constructed under their guidelines by the end of the decade. Those participating in this program will most likely maintain higher re-sale values with the Energy Star stamp of approval.
Let's help save the Earth for our future generations by building energy efficient homes! The less energy we consume in our homes, the less air pollution, acid rain and smog we generate.
