Canaday & Company is proud to offer
Energy Star qualified homes that are substantially more energy
efficient than homes built to basic code requirements.
Benefits of owning
an
ENERGY STAR qualified new home include:
Lower Utility Costs
Compared with standard homes, ENERGY STAR qualified new homes use
substantially less energy for heating, cooling, and hot water
heating. This directly translates into an annual savings on
your utility bills.
Better Performance
Properly installed, ENERGY STAR® products provide better protection
against cold, heat, drafts, moisture, pollution and noise. These
products help to maintain consistent temperatures both across and
between rooms, making your home more comfortable as well as more
energy efficient.
Peace of Mind and Third Party Inspected
Without having to personally check every feature, you enjoy the
assurance that your ENERGY STAR qualified new home is certified
to meet the strict energy efficiency guidelines of the Energy Protection
Agency (EPA). The performance of your home has even been verified
by an independent third party.
Helping Ensure a Better Future
In buying an ENERGY STAR qualified new home, you are joining millions
of others who have made a conscious purchase decision that helps
to reduce our nation’s energy needs and create a cleaner environment
for the future.
Features that distinguish
an ENERGY STAR qualified home:
Effective Insulation
Premium fiberglass insulation in the walls and ceilings, along
with added insulation for ducts and attics, helps to reduce heating
and cooling losses. The result is a quieter, more comfortable
home that uses fewer energy dollars.
High-Performance Windows
Advanced technology windows with protective coatings and improved
frames lessen heat loss during the winter and gain during the summer.
They also block damaging ultraviolet rays that can discolor carpets
and furniture.
Tight Construction and Ducts
Sealing the seams in the ductwork and construction assemblies as
well as any holes or cracks in the home’s “envelope” assists in
reducing drafts, moisture, dust, pollen and noise. This not only
improves comfort and indoor air quality, but also lowers utility
and maintenance costs.
Energy-Efficient Heating and Cooling Equipment
More efficient and properly sized heating and cooling systems use
less energy, which reduces utility bills. These systems also turn
on and off less frequently, remove more humidity and keep your
home more comfortable.
