Energy Star
Frequently Asked Questions – Does an energy-efficient home cost more?

No! An ENERGY STAR labeled home actually costs less because you will spend less on your new home's utility bill each month. These energy savings can more than offset any increase in mortgage payments needed for the improved energy features, which can result in a positive monthly cash flow. Furthermore, ENERGY STAR financing partners can offer special mortgage packages for buyers of ENERGY STAR labeled homes.
