"… We’ve been living in our home a little less than a year now and we have not been disappointed. I think our most expensive gas bill for a 2,100-square-foot home was about $35"
- Homeowner
"The energy efficiency, open floor plan, passive solar heat, and lighting are all great features. Energy bills are less than half of our previous home with 20 percent more square footage."
- Homeowner
"Our electric bills in peak winter months have not been much more than when we lived in a two-bedroom apartment that was almost a third of the size of our home."
