You've seen the ideal new home for your family — close to schools and public
transportation, three bedrooms, and the sun room you've always dreamed of.
But is it energy efficient? Energy efficient homes are well insulated,
making them more comfortable, warmer, and quieter.
As insulation plays a major role in making a home energy
efficient, you should ask the builder about the home's insulation.
Attics should have insulation values of R-40, walls R-20, and
basements R-12 on the interior or R-10 on the exterior.
If you have any questions on what to look for when buying
a new electrically heated home — just call us, we have the answers.
