Features of a SolarSmartSM Home
- A state-of-the-art rooftop solar electric system generates a major portion of the energy you will use. When your system produces more electricity than you use, you will receive a credit on your SMUD bill.
- A radiant barrier reduces the need for air conditioning by reflecting summer heat that would otherwise enter the attic.
- A 90% efficient furnace that converts natural gas into heat for your home.
- A 14 SEER/ 12 EER HVAC air conditioner system that is more efficient in a wider range of outdoor conditions. It saves energy even during the extreme heat of summer.
- Energy-efficient Compact Fluorescent Lighting (CFLs).
- ENERGY STAR® - qualified windows to keep the temperature cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, making you and your family more comfortable.
- Third-party certification and SMUD quality assurance inspections to ensure better built homes. You can be confident that the energy efficiency features are properly installed and will operate correctly.
