SAVING ON ENERGY BILLS

Savings on energy bills is one of the major benefits to owning a Net Zero Energy home! In sunny months when the home is producing more energy than needed, you can send your clean energy back to the grid, and you are compensated for this contribution! Also, because your home is built efficiently and thoughtfully as possible you do not have to worry about paying for heat or cooling leaks.

Net Zero Homes hold their value and as buyers are looking for homes that are airtight and well insulated with low energy bills, many believe that Net Zero Energy homes have a higher resale value.
