Home buying is expensive and choosing an energy efficient home will save you money for years to come. Look for the government-backed ENERGY STAR label to easily identify homes that are truly energy efficient. Find the house of your dreams and enjoy peace of mind knowing that it meets strict energy efficiency guidelines.

LOWER OWNERSHIP COST-----Compared with standard homes, ENERGY STAR qualified homes use substantially less energy for heating, cooling, and water heating-delivering $200 to $400 in annual savings, this adds up to thousands of dollars saved on utility bills.

BETTER PERFORMANCE-----Properly installed energy-efficient improvements deliver better protection against cold, heat, drafts, moisture, pollution, and noise. An energy-efficient home helps ensure consistent temperatures, improved indoor air quality, and greater durability.

SMART INVESTMENT-----By the end of the decade, more than 2 million homes are expected to earn the ENERGY STAR. The trend is clear. By choosing a home with the ENERGY STAR label, you can be confident that it will have an increasingly valued feature when the time comes to sell.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION----Energy used in our homes often comes from the burning of fossil fuels at power plants, contributing to smog, acid rain, and global warming. Simply put, the less energy we use in our homes, the less air pollution we generate.
