Energy Efficient Manufactured Homes

January 06, 2012
Not all manufactured homes are created equal. To find the most energy-efficient home, look for one that is ENERGY STAR® qualified. An ENERGY STAR® manufactured home may not look any different from other homes, but will save you energy—and money. Here’s why.
    
Every ENERGY STAR® manufactured home comes with several important features: effective insulation in the floors and walls to help maintain comfortable indoor temperatures and keep the interior quieter; tight construction and sealed ducts, which reduce leaks, drafts, and outdoor noise; high-performance windows to keep heat out during summer and in during winter; and efficient and properly sized heating and cooling equipment.
    
Because it costs less to heat and cool an ENERGY STAR® manufactured home, you’ll experience lower utility bills than the owner of a standard model. And thanks to its energy-efficient features, you’ll be better protected against heat, cold, drafts, and outside noise.
