Your Key to Energy Savings

Every new home is built to be efficient in its use of energy.
Whether that energy is in the form of electricity or natural gas, homes today are designed and constructed to help the homeowner save money.

Understanding how to use energy efficient features of your home will allow you to maximize your savings and make the most of your investment.

Windows

Windows and doors (also referred to as fenestration) are rated for energy efficiency.
