ENERGY STAR qualified homes cost less (money) and save more (planet). If you were out house hunting, found a home you absolutely loved and it turned out to be a better built home – built to be warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer and more comfortable all year round and this home (that you love, remember) could actually help reduce your energy use by up to 25% and even provided a healthier environment for you and the kids and it was just the right size and the perfect location... then we’d like to ask you, just how much LESS would you be willing to pay for such an amazing place?
Would you be willing to pay less?
From day one, with an ENERGY STAR qualified home, homeowners are saving money. Compared with standard homes, built to the minimum Ontario Building Code, ENERGY STAR qualified homes use substantially less energy for heating, cooling, hot water, lighting and appliances - you can expect to save approximately 25%* on your energy costs every month.
Quieter. Warmer. Cooler. Fresher.
By the nature of the advanced construction techniques employed, ENERGY STAR qualified homes are more comfortable in almost every way. In the winter they’re warmer; in the summer cooler; they’re quieter and draft free all year long. And, thanks to better ventilation, the environment is fresher and healthier.
Smart Money
As energy costs continue to soar, homes that fight back by reducing energy consumption will be prized. By the end of the decade, more than 50,000 homes are expected to have earned the ENERGY STAR for New Homes label. The trend is clear and there is no question, energy efficiency is a great investment and a smart buy!
