Why should I build an energy right home?

·        Comfort: Homes are well insulated and are equipped with efficient heating and cooling systems that are inspected for balanced airflow and performance.

·        Quality: Trained new-home inspectors work with the builder to help ensure that construction meets program guidelines.

·        Value:  The energy right symbol is a sign of lasting value. The documented energy efficiency of new homes built energy right means value to homeowners while they occupy their homes and many increase potential resale value.

·        Energy Savings: Home Energy Rating System (HERS) software is used to evaluate the money-saving energy efficiency of a home’s final construction. This software is industry-accredited and shows the relative energy efficiency of homes based on a rating scale of 0 to 100.

·        Consistent Energy Costs: Electric heat pumps are the most efficient way to heat and cool your home in the Tennessee Valley. Our costs have only risen 8.5 percent in the past 13 years, and we have not increased rates since 1987.
