Living in a home that incorporates extensive energy saving abilities gives a level of everyday comfort that makes your new Stonewood Home even more of a pleasure to live in. Apart from the ecological benefits, there is also the tremendous satisfaction of knowing that the increased investment in achieving an energy efficient home will be returned many times over – both in your home's resale value, and your monthly energy account!

In some cases, there many be funding available to help with these costs. Please ask our consultants if you think you many qualify. We have selected the following energy saving possibilities for their efficiency and value, (and included many as standard in every Stonewood Home!):

• Air exchanger - makes your home a safe haven during allergy season
• Timers and programmable thermostats - so you don't need to remember to switch it off or on
• Airtight recessed lighting - its surprising how much heat gets lost through these areas
• Double Glazing - much quieter and warmer, and helps reduce condensation
• Thicker batts in both walls and ceiling- so you can turn the heaters off earlier
• Flow Restrictors to tap-ware and / or low flow showerhead – so now you can shower much longer with the same amount of water!
• Night rate water heating – a significant saving on your power bill.
• Low E glass – no fading and less heat drain
• Under floor insulating polystyrene – so you only heat your home, not the ground
• Gas pre-piping or heating installation – one of the most efficient forms of heating
• Log Fire with water heating – still one of the most popular options
• Moisture sensor clothes dryer – helps ensure your clothes don't over-dry, saves wrinkling and saves you power
• Low or dual flush toilets – can give you substantial water savings

• Insulated home framing and clip system – a new way of doing things
• Insulating house wrap – technology keeps on marching!
• Modified energy truss framing – allows better insulating to the edges
