Energy Efficient Homes

More and more homebuilders in Middle Tennessee are leaning towards energy efficient homes.  A partnership between Tennessee’s Realtors and the Federal Department of Energy aims to make your energy information available for homeowners.

Think about when you purchase a car - on the window you can look at the MPG. The goal right now is to make energy information available before buying a house. Think about looking at new homes but you're not quite sure what your energy bill will be. You want to budget for your electric and gas, but you're just not sure what your new home will run you. Wouldn't it be amazing if you could have a general idea before you buy that 8,000 square foot home!?

Realtors in Tennessee (and other states) have joined forces with the Department of Energy (DOE) to help homeowners improve their energy efficiency. The partnership makes energy information — such as the benefits of adding insulation — more available to anyone buying a house and expands existing upgrade programs.

This program should help older homes perform more like new houses, which often are significantly more energy efficient and cheaper to heat and cool.

Buying a new home is probably the most expensive purchase you'll ever make, so any way to save money is a plus!
