You can add real value that extends beyond the project's functionality and style. And, your electric utility can oftentimes lend assistance maybe even with cash incentives, according to the Edison Electric Institute and the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association. two national electric utility trade associations. Energy-efficiehouses add value that goes beyond lower energy bills every month, said Tom Farkas, manager of residential programs at the Edison Electric Institute. To be energy efficient, a house must be built with superior construction materials and methods. This means energy-efficiehouses will offer more comfort and quiet. It means their indoor air quality will be better. And, because these houses use electricity efficiently, they will help protect the outdoor environment as well. When it comes time to sell the house, these factors will also add up to a house with a higher resale value. energy-efficienc- High-Efficien- Tr Arts nologies. -- Shrub I OuUld lnkl Spraying -- Taimhas-Roachat Spldar-Mica arget Pest Control loans for improvements.

It means getting the most value from every kilowatt-hour of electricity you buy, said Farkas. And to do that, you must consider the entire houses energy efficiency, not just that of a planned addition. You need to look at the house as a single energy system rather than as a collection of independent components and equipment. windows will be a waste of money, if the attic has no, or too little insulation. Each component affects the others. And for better or worse, a energy-efficienc- Vard & Horn y During the past 20 years, electric appliances have steadily increased their y levels. Examples include: Electric heat pumps can return up to $4.00 in heating or cooling for each $1.00 spent on electricity to run it. Microwave ovens can cook a meal using up to 90 percent less energy than a gas oven. Compact fluorescent light bulbs consume 75 percent less electricity than their incandescent counterparts. Refrigerators can now use up to half the electricity as those built in the 1970s. When you are selecting appliances Starting Out 3 fanam.
