Energy Star Homes
Make Your Home An Energy Star®

Are you building a new home? Why not build your home to Energy Star® standards. An Energy Star® Home is one that uses the latest energy technologies to make your home more energy efficient, less costly to operate, healthier and more environmentally friendly. Energy Star® homes also enjoy a higher resale value.

Developed by the U.S. Department of Energy, the Energy Star® Homes Program is a nationwide effort to make homes more energy efficient. As the New Hampshire sponsor of the Energy Star® Homes program, PSNH can show you how to build and certify your home to Energy Star® specifications.

For more information on how the Energy Star® Home program can work for you, please call 1-800-662-7764.

Geothermal Option

Geothermal heat pumps are refrigeration-based pumping systems which move and concentrate heat from the earth to heat and cool your home - something that costs considerably less and is much cleaner than burning oil or gas. Actual operating costs average 48 cents per square foot per year for heat, hot water, and A/C for past program participants.

Geothermal heat pumps differ from outside air heat pumps in that they take advantage of the relatively stable earth temperature, making them ideal for heating and cooling New England homes.

Participants in the Energy Star® Homes Program who choose to install a geothermal heat pump are eligible for additional incentives. To receive a package with more information, including the geothermal equipment specifications, fill out this online form
