With energy prices at an all-time high, these features will help you keep more money in your pocket.

  1. Did you know that the average home spends about $1,900 on energy costs every year? Change to appliances that have earned the ENERGY STAR, and you can save $80 a year in energy costs, while saving the environment.
  2. Pink is green! Properly installed and inspected Owens Corning insulation in floors, walls, and attics ensures even temperatures throughout the house, reduced energy use and increased comfort. Insulation is cheaper than oil!
  3. DuPont™ Tyvek® helps seal holes and cracks in the home's "envelope" which helps reduce drafts, moisture, dust, pollen and noise. A tightly sealed home improves comfort and indoor air quality while reducing utility bills and maintenance.
  4. Keeping drafts and wind out of wall cavities seals in thermal performance for greater comfort and reduced energy consumption. DuPont™ Tyvek® weather-resistant barriers help protect the installed R-value of insulation, allowing the HVAC system to run more efficiently. Regardless of the thickness of the insulation or the type of sheathing used, including tongue-and-groove sheathing and airtight drywall, DuPont™ Tyvek® helps eliminate air leaks.
  5. A 14 SEER Tempstar/Carrier/Comfortmaker air conditioning system features the advanced environmentally sound R410A refrigerant and gives you higher energy efficiency. A Refrigerant For The Environment: R410A, an EPA-approved refrigerant developed to reduce risk to the Earth’s atmosphere, does not emit the chlorines that may deplete the protective ozone layer.
