One of the most common questions we get is, “If its better, it must cost more, right?” The answer is an easy one, although it will be different for every situation. It might not cost more, but it could cost up to 10% more to build, depending on various factors; but it costs so much less to live in that pay back happens very quickly.

It’s important to remember that every house has a monthly living cost that is made up of mortgage, heating and cooling, and insurance. The initial construction cost is reflected as a monthly mortgage payment – only one of the monthly expenses. Because A Premium Structure is so air tight and so thoroughly insulated, heating and cooling needs are greatly reduced. In addition, the high efficiency of the Rehau radiant heating and Unico high velocity air conditioning systems contribute to further reductions. You can count on a reduction in heating and cooling costs of 40-70%. That’s a significant chunk of cash that is saved each month. A slightly higher mortgage payment can be offset very fast. After that, it’s pure savings.

Here’s an example:

Let’s say the size of your new home is 2,500 square feet. For this size house, the national average energy cost for traditional construction is $250 per month. The estimate for A Premium Structure of the same size is $100, resulting in a monthly savings of $150. In addition, you may be eligible for lower insurance rates and utility rebates depending on where you live and who your insurance is with. And these savings are on top of the added comfort and peace of mind that comes with A Premium Structure.
