Electricity, including the geothermal unit, is powered by solar energy.

The home is Energy Star certified, as are it's windows, insulation and appliances, making this property extremely cost efficient to operate.

Everything from the paint on the walls to the carpet on the floors is chosen with the environmentally conscious homeowner in mind.
