How It Works
What is a Net Zero Home?
A Net Zero Home produces as much energy as it consumes, thanks to efficiency upgrades and renewable energy sources like solar.
Do I need to install solar panels?
Not always. Many homes first achieve efficiency with insulation, sealing, and HVAC upgrades before adding solar.
How much does it cost to go Net Zero?
Costs vary by home, but rebates, incentives, and long-term bill savings make the investment more affordable than most homeowners expect.
Can I reach Net Zero in phases?
Yes. Many homeowners start with an energy audit and efficiency improvements, then add renewables later for full Net Zero performance.
