Hurricane Season Already?
July 6, 2010
Heavy winds and storm surge are always a concern when we step into hurricane season, and this year promises to be particularly busy. Off the south Louisiana coast, Hurricane Alex whipped up winds and made big waves, as a weak storm that made landfall nearly 500 miles away.
There are many things we can do to make existing homes less vulnerable to the wrath of a hurricane. But before you look a retrofitting the home you’ve lived in for years, or make a decision to buy an existing home, don’t count out having a new, Energy Star Certified home built to your specifications by the Chris Ledet team.
Energy savings over the life of your home can make the cost not only reasonable, but in many ways even more affordable.
The Home Energy Rebate Option (HERO) New Homes Program. It provides cold, hard cash of $2,000 to you when we build you a new energy efficient home that achieves a Home Energy Rating System (HERS) score of 70.
But that’s not all.
When one of our homes achieves a 50% energy savings for heating and cooling over the 2004 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC 2004) the rebate jumps to a whopping $3,000. That’s the equivalent of some really nice perks for your home or a net savings of the total project cost.
Plus there is the matter of energy savings throughout the year.
And the real value is in the lifelong savings of your new home built with the very latest in technology, planning and design.
