With Maronda Homes, you know you’re making the right decision—for your wallet, for your family, and for the environment—bringing these important benefits:

	Included Features	Benefits
	Thermal Barrier	Our thermal barriers help prevent outside water from entering the walls and to seal the home to keep outside air where it belongs. With our quality thermal barrier package, you will save 10% on energy bills.
	High-Peformance Windows	Our energy efficient windows have protective coatings and vinyl frames to help keep heat inside during the winter months and outside during the summer. In addition, they block damaging ultra-violet sunlight that can discolor carpets and furnishings.
	High-Efficiency Heating & Cooling System	As much as 44% of the energy used in your home goes to heating and cooling. Our systems are designed and installed for optimal performance resulting in a big effect on your utility bills — and your comfort.
	Programmable Thermostat	According to the Department of Energy, a programmable thermostat can reduce your heating costs by up to 35% and cooling costs by up to 25%.
	High-Efficiency Hot Water Heater	Heated water accounts for approximately 15% of your home’s energy use. Higher efficiency means less money and less time to heat water as needed.
