$80/Month Guarantee for New Energy Wise Home in Horizon

Stanton Homes completes first green-conscious home

in new Horizon neighborhood

2800 square feet of living area with guaranteed $80 per month heating and cooling costs

Custom home builder Stanton Homes celebrates the completion of its first Energy Wise home in the Horizon neighborhood, with the next already breaking ground in this new community just south of Chapel Hill.

Energy Wise comes with a written guarantee of heating and cooling costs.

The custom home just completed offers over 2800 square feet - with a guaranteed average heating and cooling cost of no more than $80 per month!

"We get excited every time we build an Energy Wise home, said Stan Williams, CEO of Stanton Homes.

"And we're especially pleased to bring Energy Wise homes to Horizon. The location is fantastic, the environment is private and comfortable, the trees are beautiful; it's a perfect setting for a green conscious home and we're thrilled to be able to lead the community with a home that combines both artistic personality and the sensibility of Energy Wise construction."

The heating and cooling costs guaranteed by Energy Wise for this home offer a 65% savings over what they could cost in the same home, if standard construction had been utilized.

The Energy Wise program offers 50-70% heating and cooling savings for homes built with this system.

Energy Wise uses a systems approach to heating and cooling a home based on blueprints, window sizes and types, and room dimensions.

The HVAC system is precisely calculated, and spray foam insulation is used to fill every crack and crevice, followed by extensive caulking to prevent any air leakage.

"Today's ecology-minded buyers are telling us that their first concern is the environment, followed by the growing cost of energy," said Williams.

"When they find out that an Energy Wise home offers a written guarantee of 50-70% cost savings on heating and cooling over any standard home, while using fewer natural resources, it's a no-brainer. They're even more excited when they find out Energy Wise homes don't have to be at the high end of affordability - Stanton Homes is putting together Energy Wise packages for homes starting in the $200s."

Stanton Homes is one of only a few home builders in partnership with Healthy Home Insulation to provide Energy Wise guaranteed heating and cooling in affordable new homes throughout the Triangle region and beyond.

"Energy Wise and spray foam insulation is an extremely viable solution to alleviating our dependence on fossil fuel, while improving our health and protecting the environment for future generations," said Tu Nguyen, CEO of Healthy Home Insulation. "We're pleased to be working with Stanton Homes to bring this kind of value to home owners."

The Energy Wise guarantee package is available as an option in any home in the Horizon neighborhood, as well as any Stanton Homes custom home when implemented at the planning stages.

Horizon offers 38 total lots in Phase 1, ranging from 1 to 2.3 acres.

Just 8 miles south of Chapel Hill, Horizon is a wooded acreage community a mile off 15/501, and minutes from shopping, UNC Medical Center, UNC Chapel Hill. Horizon offers a blend of city and country amenities - with low county taxes.

"Energy Wise is an excellent choice for anyone looking to save on energy costs while enjoying a cleaner, tighter, more comfortable home," said Williams.
