Haven Properties Energy Tips show you how to save $500 in five rooms

During the next five weeks, Haven Properties will show you how to save $500 in five rooms this year. Adapted from an Associated Press article by James and Morris Carey, our energy efficiency tips are just the “tip of the iceberg” when it comes to responsible energy usage in your home. Every home built by Haven Properties saves homeowners on energy costs because each home is certified to meet EarthCraft and Energy Star requirements. Haven even guarantees that your usage won’t exceed a projected amount in the first two years.

Room One: the Living Room. You could save $215 in one year’s time by replacing your five most frequently used incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs ($65 savings) and by installing an Energy Star-qualified programmable thermostat ($150 savings). The new bulbs will use less energy and last up to 10 times longer. The thermostat will control the temperature while you’re away from home and at night. You’ll be more comfortable and use your watts wisely.

When you build your new home with Haven Properties in Cobb, Cherokee, Dawson, Douglas, Forsyth or South Fulton counties, you’ll find many additional ways to help the environment and your family, from The Cleaner Kitchen with MicroBan in the countertops to the industry’s best air filtration systems. When coupled with flexible home designs, our high performance homes meet your family’s needs and your wants at the same time.
