Embrace the Cost Savings

 

One of the significant advantages of living in a Net Zero home is the substantial operational cost savings. These homes are designed to produce as much energy as they consume, effectively reducing your energy bills to nearly zero. Additionally, homeowners enjoy the comfort and peace of mind of a stable, predictable energy cost, insulated from the volatility of energy prices. Based on the last 12 months of Hydro usage it is estimated that the yearly electrical costs on this home will be $1200 or $100 monthly. Keep in mind that this home is heated and cooled on electricity so there is no gas bill with this Net Zero home. Municipal water costs would vary depending on the homeowner’s usage and the number of people living in the home.

 

Cutting-Edge Energy Efficient Features

 

This Qwest Homes property goes beyond just being stylish and spacious. It's packed with state-of-the-art energy-efficient features designed to optimize comfort while minimizing energy use.

 

At the heart of the home's HVAC system is the Mitsubishi Electric 36,000 BTU/H Multi-Position AHU cold climate heat pump system. This advanced system provides both heating and cooling for the home, delivering efficient performance even in the harshest winter conditions.

 

The home's hot water system is powered by a Rheem Performance Platinum ProTerra Hybrid Electric water heater. This highly efficient system utilizes heat pump technology to deliver significant energy savings, ensuring you always have hot water without inflating your energy bill.

 

A rooftop solar array, comprising 26 high-capacity 405W panels, is coupled with a Generac 7.6W PWRcell inverter, forming the heart of the home's power generation system. This advanced setup allows the home to harness the sun's energy, reducing reliance on grid electricity and paving the way to significant energy savings.

Moreover, this Net Zero home boasts a host of other energy-saving features to enhance your living experience while minimizing your ecological footprint. The basement floor is insulated with R10 foam to ensure the warmest basement comfort and maximum energy savings. The innovative AutoHot system facilitates hot water recirculation, providing instant access to hot water at all fixtures with just a one-second wait time with zero water waste. The rim joist around the basement ceiling is covered with spray foam for air tightness and enhanced comfort along the outside walls.


In addition, the first-floor ceiling edge is fortified with spray foam to achieve R60 insulation at the outside ceiling corners, effectively eliminating "wind wash" and ensuring optimal energy efficiency. Triple-pane windows and doors throughout the home not only contribute to soundproofing but also improve energy efficiency. Advanced framing of the exterior walls allows for 18% more insulation, making the home warmer and more comfortable while further enhancing energy savings. Lastly, the house is equipped with LED lights, which are energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

Enjoy the Benefits of Net Zero Certification

 

This home doesn't just promise sustainability—it's certified. As a Net Zero Certified home, homeowners can benefit from a $5,000 rebate after 6 months of ownership. This not only validates the home's energy efficiency but also translates into direct financial savings, further enhancing the value proposition of this exceptional property.
