Benefits of an EarthCents New Home
Energy Savings
Not all homes are energy-efficient. Many builders claim their
homes are energy-efficient, but EarthCents by Georgia Power
builders back it up. To earn the EarthCents distinction on their
homes, builder partners use a combination of energy-saving
features.
Lower Ownership Cost
Compared to standard homes, an EarthCents New Home uses
substantially less energy for heating, cooling and water heating.
Over the average seven to eight years you may live in your home,
this adds up to hundreds of dollars saved on utility bills.
Peace of Mind
Home buying is complex enough without having to know all
the details of energy-efficient construction. Instead, look for an
EarthCents New Home to easily identify homes that are truly
energy efficient. Every Georgia Power EarthCents New Home is
verified by an independent third-party HERS rater to ensure they
meet the EarthCents guidelines.
Comfort
An energy-efficient EarthCents New Home helps ensure
consistent temperatures between and across rooms, improved
air quality and greater durability.
Smart Investment
By choosing an EarthCents New Home, you can be confident that
it will be a smart investment when the time comes to sell.
