With Energy Star®
Most homes regularly leak warm and cool air. But Energy Star® homes from Clayton Homes plug the leaks with more insulation and low "E" windows. Energy Star® homes have to meet strict guidelines for efficiency set by the EPA and are typically 20% to 30% more efficient than standard homes.
Remember, the energy we use in our homes often comes from fossil fuels, which increase smog, acid rain and global warming. So the less energy we use, the cleaner air we enjoy.
Look for the blue Energy Star® mark, which is the government-approved symbol for energy efficiency.
Effective insulation: Well-installed and well-inspected insulation in floors, walls and attics keep temperatures even throughout your home, which reduces the energy you use.
High-performance windows: With protective coatings and better frames, energy-efficient windows help you keep the heat inside during the winter and outside during the summer. These windows even block ultraviolet sunlight that can fade your furniture and carpet.
Tight construction and ducts: Sealing up your home and ductwork reduces moisture and cuts down on drafts, dust, pollen and noise. So in addition to lowering your utility bills, your indoor air quality is better.
Efficient heating and cooling equipment: A programmable thermostat keeps the temperature consistent and even inside your home, plus energy-efficient heating and cooling systems keep your home drier and quieter, while making you more comfortable. The right equipment simply doesn’t have to work as hard to do its job.
