Approached About Energy Star Status

XCEL energy has approached Adkins Construction inc. and encouraged us to pursue energy star builder status by Sherry Adkins

ENERGY STAR is an international standard for energy efficient consumer products. It was first created as a United States government program in 1992, but Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Taiwan and the European Union have also adopted the program. Devices carrying the Energy Star logo, such as computer products and peripherals, kitchen appliances, buildings and other products, save 20%-30% on average.

New homes that meet strict guidelines for energy efficiency can qualify for ENERGY STAR certification. An ENERGY STAR qualified home uses at least 15% less energy than standard homes built to the 2004 International Residential Code (IRC). They usually include properly installed insulation, high performance windows, tight construction and ducts, energy efficient cooling and heating systems, and ENERGY STAR qualified appliances, lighting, and water heaters.

They assure us we are already there and simply need certification. Our customer’s average electric bills are $72 a month. This is due to our superior insulation that no other builder, to our knowledge, is using.   There are no homes for sale currently that offer this certification.   Wouldn’t you like an energy friendly home?  It only makes sense.  Maybe even more than the car you drive.  You live in your home and spend more time in it than you do your car.  You expend much more of your monthly budget on utility bills than your car.  Do your homework and look at the outside of the home, but also make sure you ask questions of what you can’t see.  If they wave you off and make it seem like energy star is no big deal, ask for utilility bills of other customers in the neighborhood.  They don’t have to pay your utility bill…you do.   If you would like more information on this please call or email 1-575-742-1111 or sja1969@gmail.com
