Cottage or mansion, ranch style
or coloniaLThe important thing
to look for is the
ENERGY EFFICIENCY AWARD.
Sure you’ve got a lot of pretty definite
Ideas about what you want In your next all-
electric home: things like a certain archi-
tectural style, location and number of
bedrooms.
But here’s something else you ought to
consider: whether the house will help you
save money on energy. These days, in fact,
that factor probably ought to go to the top
of the list.
And It Isn’t easy for most people to de-
termine just how well a house will function
as an energy-saver.
Central Power and Light Company can
help, though, with its Energy Etficiency
Award program. When you buy or build an
all-electric home that merits this award, you
know It has been designed and built to
assist you In making the most of every
dollar you spend for electricity. It is well
insulated, weather-stripped and equipped
with efficient electric heating and cooling
systems. These and many other features
that affect the home's energy efficiency
have been checked and certified by a quali-
fied technician fromCPL.
You get maximum value for every kilo-
watt-hour of electricity you buy if you live
in an Energy Efficiency Award home and
make a habit of using electricity wisely.
Check into this program If you're plan-
ning to build or buy a new all-electric home
or remodel your present one. Your builder,
realtor or designer can give you the details
-or you may get more information from
your CPL office.
