Haven Properties Energy Tip: Saving in Your Kitchen

Over the past few months, Haven Properties has shown you how to save energy and money in your living areas ($215), bathroom ($145), laundry room ($74) and basement or utility room ($36). (links to past blogs) With an additional $35 recovered in your kitchen, you will have set yourself up to save $500 in energy costs this year.

Try fixing that leaky faucet. Hot water leaking at a rate of one drip per second can waste up to 1,661 gallons of water annually and up to $35 in energy costs. Taking the time to fix it – or calling a plumber to do the job – will not only save you money and conserve natural resources, but it will also get rid of that annoying noise. The peace of mind will be priceless.

If you were living in a Haven Properties home, your kitchen would not only save energy through Energy Star and EarthCraft construction, but it would also slow the growth of germs with The Cleaner Kitchen program. All Haven Properties homes come standard with hard-surface Silestone countertops manufactured with MicroBan to inhibit the growth of germs. The Silestone countertops outlast popular granite styles and match them in beauty. Haven Properties kitchens also vent stovetop odors and moisture to the outside, and they include Pür water filters for cleaner cooking and drinking water.

The Cleaner Kitchens are available in Haven Properties homes in Cobb, Cherokee, Dawson, Douglas, Forsyth and South Fulton.
