Annual Savings

Many homebuyers mistakenly think all new homes are built to the same standards. Unfortunately, those living in a code- built new home will waste thousands of dollars on additional utility expenses compared to an S&A Homeowner over a 7-year period. In fact, the average S&A Home is 35% more efficient than a standard code-built new home. This can translate to hundreds of dollars, even thousands, saved every year depending on where you live.*

* This information does not constitute any warranty of energy cost of savings and is presented for comparison purposes only. Savings are average estimates for single family homes located in the S&A Homes Sales areas.
The amount of savings will vary based on house type, house size, lot orientation, local utility rates, climate conditions, and owners operation of home.

Third Party Verification

The proof of your home’s efficiency is in its Home Energy Rating Score (HERS), provided by a third-party verification firm for every home we build. This critical piece of information provides your home’s specific energy score and efficiency details. With HERS, a high score indicates excessive waste and expensive utility bills while a lower score indicates the home is built to optimize energy efficiency and lower utility expenses.
