Building an affordable home with high energy efficiencies at an affordable price used to be a contradiction. But today there are some things that can be built into your new modular home that only a couple of years ago would have been considered extravagant.
Solar Panels. On most homes, the solar panels do not replace your power company but supplements power, reducing what you have to buy from them. Solar panels produce approximately 30 to 40 percent of the power that the home utilizes. That can add up to a significant amount on your utilities bill.
And we’re not talking about multi-million dollar custom homes. These green improvements are showing up in new homes priced towards the average working family.
Dual Flush Toilets. The dual-flush toilet is also starting to become more common. This water-saving product lets you save substantial amounts of water by selecting the amount of water you need.
Two buttons create an interactive toilet that helps conserve water, translating to energy savings.
Blown-in Blanket Insulation. Traditional insulation in walls creates many gaps and spaces that cut down on energy savings. New technologies help to seal up many of the weaknesses.
The new insulation options will show results quickly with lower utility bills and that will also make your bank accounts happier. There are also benefits making you feel better.
