| | FSEC - ENERGY STAR Homes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17) |
 | | The ENERGY STAR Home cost advantage is based on the concept that for conventional home mortgages, the monthly utility bill energy-efficiency savings often significantly exceed the small increase in the monthly mortgage payment for the extra energy efficiency measures. |
 | | Where ENERGY STAR homes and ducts are field verified to be tightly sealed, significant sources of indoor air pollution are effectively blocked from entering your home. |
 | | Where provided, high-efficiency equipment, such as ENERGY STAR air conditioners, heat pumps, and furnaces may include quality features beyond improved performance, such as higher-grade heat exchangers, fans, motors, and longer-term warranties. |
