ADDED CONFIDENCE + LOWER OWNERSHIP COST + BETTER PERFORMANCE
= SMART INVESTMENT & ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Home buying is complex enough without having to know all the details of energy-efficient construction. Instead, look for the government-backed ENERGY STAR® label to easily identify homes that are truly energy efficient. Beracah Homes and Green Diamond Builders are now equipped to produce ENERGY STAR® certified homes. Find the house of your dreams and enjoy peace of mind knowing that it also meets strict energy efficiency guidelines.

Compared with standard homes, ENERGY STAR® qualified homes use substantially less energy for heating, cooling, and water heating-delivering $200 to $400 in annual savings. Over the average 7 to 8 years you may live in your home, this adds up to thousands of dollars saved on utility bills. Additional savings on maintenance can also be substantial. Financing your home purchase using an energy efficient mortgage can also lead to savings.

Doing your part to conserve energy and protect our environment is easy and can be done by simply doing any of these suggested items:

• Change incandescent light bulbs to LED (light-emitting diodes) or CFL (compact fluorescent lights)
• Look for the ENERGY STAR® label on qualifying appliances
• Consider a tankless water heater
• Ensure proper insulation in floors, walls and attics
• Use of properly installed energy-efficient windows
• Ensure home and mechanical ducting is tightly sealed
• Specify use of energy efficient, qualified heating & cooling equipment
• Request 3rd Party Verification to qualify for Federal Tax Credits
