But frugal builders need not fear. The energy efficiencies should create savings that swamp these added costs. The Energy Commission says that utility bills should be depressed by $27 a month \u2013 a net savings of $16 a month to consumers!<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to rapidly innovating technologies, a home built in 2013 will be 25% more energy efficient than a home built back in 2008 \u2013 a huge improvement in just about half a decade.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a Northern California homeowner or business owner who wants to save on your heating bill, contribute to a greener planet, or just explore alternative roofing and energy systems, connect with the team here at Century Roof &amp; Solar.
