Looking for a new home? Did you know that houses can produce more greenhouse gas emissions than cars? By choosing an energy efficient home, you can do your part to help the environment, save money each month, and keep your family more comfortable over the life of your home.
But how do you know which homes are REALLY energy efficient? Just look for the ENERGY STAR®.
ENERGY STAR is a symbol of energy efficiency backed by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the US Department of Energy. Products earn the ENERGY STAR label by saving money and energy while protecting the environment. And APS, your local utility, has partnered with ENERGY STAR and quality local homebuilders to help you find the energy efficient home of your dreams - an APS ENERGY STAR Home!
APS works with builders to encourage more efficient building practices so that these homes use at least 15 to 20% less energy than standard new homes. And APS ENERGY STAR homes are tested and inspected to make sure they perform. Usually, when the small additional cost of energy efficiency is included in your mortgage, the monthly savings on your energy bills will result in positive cash flow from day one. That means you get more home value for less money.
Watch the video on the benefits of an APS ENERGY STAR home.
