Quality, comfort and a lifetime of energy savings.
WHY BUILD OR BUY A GULF POWER EARTHCENTS HOME?
Because quality, comfort and energy savings are even more important today than they were back in the early 1970s when Gulf Power first invented the GoodCents Home. These days consumers are re-evaluating their lifestyles right down to the appliances and automobiles they buy. So, why not buy or build the most energy-efficient and environmentally friendly home possible?
When you choose an EarthCents Home, you know you’re not just getting a home that looks good on the outside. You’re also getting quality construction with all the interior features and options that make this home — your single largest personal investment — one that pays you back with energy-efficiency dividends in the form of lower utility bills month after month, year after year.
EarthCents Homes are built by people who understand the interactions of all the systems within the home — the cooling, heating and ventilation system; the water heating system; the insulation and air-barrier system; the appliances and lighting; and the windows. It’s only through a thorough understanding of this "house as a system" concept that builders can truly guarantee their customers quality, comfort and a lifetime of energy savings.
