Benefits to owning a Rieger Homes Energy Efficient, High Performance Home

We all have an understanding on what energy is – power.  How about efficient?  According to the Merriam Webster online dictionary, one definition of efficient is “productive without waste” or better performance.    If your home and its systems performs better, it will…

• Save Money – By including energy efficient items such as the furnace, hot water heater, programmable thermostats and more, less energy is used to heat or cool the home. Less energy used means lower gas & electric bills, thus saving you money.
• Better Investment – By investing in an Energy Efficient, High Performance Home, you should experience lower ownership costs over an older home or one that is built just to code.
• Increased Comfort – thanks to advanced framing and insulation techniques and Energy Star windows, consistent room temperatures and fewer drafts create increased comfort for the homeowner.
• Improved Indoor Air Quality – Computer controlled ventilation helps maintain fresh air, while low VOC emissions paints and carpet are healthier and less likely to cause allergic or other reactions.
• Lower Air Pollution – Energy used in our homes often comes from the burning of fossil fuels. The less energy we use, the less air pollution we generate.
• Helps the Environment – Water-saving faucetry, water filtering landscaping and less air pollution generated will help our environment. Besides, Rieger Homes’ Energy Efficient, High Performance Homes are beautiful and are a pleasure to look at!
