Biltmore Homes - Energy Star Intro Video

Reduced Utility Bills - Save 15% or more on your monthly utility bills, thanks to the superior energy efficient construction of your Energy Star home. Progress Energy and Duke Power reward Energy Star homeowners with an additional 5% discount off all of your electric bills!

Low Maintenance - Enjoy peace of mind by owning a low maintenance home. Energy Star homes are built with the advantages of energy efficient windows, which reduce sun damage to furniture and finishes and high quality heating and cooling equipment, which last longer and perform better than standard equipment. Also the tight construction prevents costly home moisture damage.

Higher Resale Value - Energy Star homes are likely to have a higher resale value regardless of how long you own your home. A typical Energy Star home reduces utility bills over $420 a year. A recent EPA study revealed that these savings can add $8,400 to the market value of an Energy Star home.

Healthier Indoor Air - Your Energy Star home is built to reduce indoor air pollutants that contribute to asthma and allergies. Tight construction details block pollen, mold, dust, carbon monoxide, moisture and radon from entering your Energy Star home. Proper ventilation provides fresh air and also protects against the buildup of unhealthy air.

Help Protect the Environment - Have the great feeling of knowing that you have an important impact on helping the environment. American home energy usage contributes significantly to air pollution, including 20% of all carbon dioxide emissions. Become part of America's energy independence and relieve the stress to our planet in your Energy Star home.

Comfortable and Quieter Homes - Energy Star homes with additional insulation and high performance windows are blanketed in comfort making temperatures warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Tightly constructed Energy Star homes will not experience annoying drafts and airborne dust. Better-insulated walls, sealed ducts and properly sized efficient mechanical systems deliver quiet high performance year round.

Third party verification - All Energy Star homes are inspected and tested by Southern Energy Management through every major step in the construction process. You can be certain that your home meets all of the Energy Star requirements and that you have an objective party looking after your quality constructed home.
