| Benefits - What's it like to live in an ENERGY STAR qualified home? |
When you live in an ENERGY STAR qualified home, you'll have:
- 30% lower energy bills than homes built to minimum state energy code requirements.
- Lower maintenance costs - Your home will be more air-tight and better ventilated than an ordinary house. That means you'll avoid moisture problems, like sweating windows, paint failure, mold growth, structural damage, and ice dams.
- Healthier indoor air. Proper ventilation means less risk of mold, mildew, dust mites, or back-drafting from combustion appliances.
- Greater comfort - You'll eliminate drafts and have greater control of indoor temperature at lower energy costs.
- Assurance - Your home will be approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency as ENERGY STAR qualified.
- Pride - You'll be helping to protect the environment. By saving energy, you'll reduce power generation air pollution.
- Greater resale value - For all of the above reasons.
