Haven Properties Energy Tip: One Quick Change in the Basement

Haven Properties is taking you on a virtual tour of your house to help you save $500 on energy costs this year. We’ve saved $215 in the living areas, $145 in the bathroom and $74 in the laundry room with several easy changes. One more change in the basement or utility room will get you $36 closer to our goal. Simply lower the temperature setting on your water heater from 145 degrees to 120 degrees. The change makes your home safer for children who are more likely to get burned by hot water, plus it saves the average homeowner from $36 to $61 a year in energy costs.

Haven Properties makes your home healthier for children (and adults), too, with cleaner air that goes through the industry’s best filtration system and Georgia’s only access to The Cleaner Kitchen Program. Our high performance, Energy Star, EarthCraft homes are a must-see for anyone looking for an Atlanta new home. You’ll love our locations in Cobb, Cherokee, Dawson, Douglas, Forsyth and South Fulton.
