The benefits of owning an Oak Creek ENERGY STAR labeled home include:

A Label Backed by the Government – All ENERGY STAR labeled homes are certified to meet EPA’s strict guidelines for energy efficiency. This exemplary performance is verified by an independent third party.

Lower Utility Costs – Compared with standard homes, ENERGY STAR labeled homes use substantially less energy for heating, cooling, and hot water heating. Homeowners can expect to save at least $200-$400 annually on their utility bills.

More Comfortable/Quieter Homes – The energy-efficient features of ENERGY STAR labeled homes keep out excessive heat, cold, and noise, and ensure consistent temperatures between and across rooms—making these homes more comfortable to live in.

Helping to Create a Better Future – By purchasing an ENERGY STAR labeled home, you are joining millions of consumers who have changed to ENERGY STAR, helping our nation reduce our energy needs and building a cleaner environment for the future.

Features of an Oak Creek Home ENERGY STAR labeled home include:

Increased Insulation – Improved and effective use of insulation helps achieve even temperatures throughout the house while using less energy. The result is lower utility costs and a quieter, more comfortable home.

High-performance Windows – High-performance windows help keep heat in during winter and out during summer. They also block damaging ultraviolet sunlight that can discolor carpets and furniture.

Tight Construction and Tight Ducts – Tight ducts and tight construction help eliminate drafts, moisture, dust, pests, and pollen. This improves comfort and the quality of indoor air, while lowering maintenance costs.

Energy-efficient Heating and Cooling Equipment – More efficient and properly installed heating and cooling systems use less energy, which reduces utility bills. These systems also turn on and off less frequently, removing more humidity and providing better comfort.
