TOUCHSTONE ENERGY HOMES

Wiregrass Electric Cooperative puts a priority on energy efficiency. Homes that are more energy efficient are less expensive to operate. They're also cleaner, safer and more comfortable to live in.

For years, Wiregrass Electric offered the Good Cents Home program to consumers. But, over time, building codes and common practices among builders and contractors made yesterday's "energy efficient" home today's standard model. We wanted to keep energy efficiency as a high priority for today's consumers and reward them for those efforts with higher levels of comfort and lower operating costs.

The Touchstone Energy Home was born after months of planning. The new standards allow homeowners to enjoy a more efficient home, which translates into something we can all enjoy -- savings. We've joined with other Touchstone Energy Systems in providing consumers with the details they need to make an informed decision about Touchstone Energy homes. Some of these features include:

  • Certified heat pump
  • Floor insulation
  • Wall insulation
  • Attic insulation and ventilation
  • Vapor seal
  • Double glass windows
  • Special insulated doors
  • Exhaust system
  • Hot water system
  • Duct location in conditioned area
