Most of us now realize that building or purchasing a home that has a smaller environmental footprint is in everyone's best interests. Taking that step doesn't mean you need huge solar collectors or a wind farm in the back yard. Sometimes it's just little things such as:
Purchasing an existing home and adding up to $8,000 of energy upgrades with the cost rolled into the purchase mortgage.
Building or buying an Energy Star Certified Home that ensures reduced energy/maintenance costs, greater comfort and increased market appeal on resale. I've been involved in the construction of several of these homes and the owners are still thanking me for making them aware of the program.
Making extensive (up to $15,000) energy upgrades in the home you own using low interest, government financing.
The potential for improved energy efficiency exists in homes across all price ranges so please Contact Me to learn how you can take the first steps towards owning a more comfortable and Earth friendly home.
