Energy-efficient living

Living Green

Having a 100% ENERGY STAR®-qualified home means, in addition to saving energy, it saves you money too. A Meritage home can save you upwards of 80%, or $3,000 annually, on your utility costs.*

What Makes a Home Energy Efficient?

That depends on your homebuilder. However, Meritage Homes goes far beyond the EPA standards for energy efficiency. Every home we build incorporates numerous innovations like spray-foam insulation, CFL lighting and fixtures, a minimum of Low-E2 or E3 vinyl windows and Minimum SEER 14 HVAC, plus so much more.

The advantage of owning

Owning vs. Renting

Owning your own home is much more affordable and easier than you might know. In addition to owning your own home for about the same as what you spend on rent, you can own a brand-new home with the plan, homesite and customized finishing touches of your choice.

In fact, it can be as affordable as renting, and in some regions of the United States, it can be more affordable.

Why Owning is Better

  • Building equity
  • Federal tax deductions
  • No unexpected rent increases
  • Roomier, more comfortable living
  • Secure space for your family to grow
