A face familiar in over 90 million households is now up close and personal at Jackson EMC. Pat Simpson, host of HGTV's Fix It Up!, Room to Improve and Before & After, is the face and voice of your cooperative's Right Choice™ program. Featured on Right Choice informational DVDs, Simpson will host several Jackson EMC podcasts about energy efficiency, doing-it-yourself and home improvement. Look for Simpson in Smart Connections features in Jemco News as well.

Knowing good construction is something Simpson has prided himself on since learning the tools of the trade from his dad, brother and friends who were contractors in the construction business. Simpson keeps busy with his television career and public appearances, yet he still finds time to build custom Whisper Creek Log Homes in Tennessee, North and South Carolina, and Georgia. Although Simpson's HGTV shows deal with making home improvements, emphasizing the importance of what to look for in new construction is valuable to Simpson as well. "In traditional home building, buyers should always seek out strong, solid construction... but that's not all. The way a new home is designed, planned, insulated, and inspected to guarantee energy efficiency can be equally as important. That's one of the reasons I'm impressed with Right Choice homes. Built right, insulated right, and energy efficient. I'm impressed!"

Energy efficient — guaranteed.

There are few guarantees in life today, especially when it comes to saving money. Your home is guaranteed to be comfortable and energy efficient, and we even provide the paperwork that holds us to it with your three-year Right Choice energy usage warranty. When you buy a Right Choice home, you have the peace of mind in knowing that your home's builder is committed to energy efficient construction.

In addition to your energy usage warranty, you also receive a one-year comfort warranty, which guarantees that at design conditions, each room will stay within three degrees of the thermostat setting. All Right Choice homes feature electric heat pumps, the most efficient way to heat and cool homes in Georgia's climate. Experts determine the right size for your heat pump based on industry standards to ensure that the heat pump works at top efficiency. Experts also confirm that the design of the home and its heating and cooling system meet energy-efficiency standards.

Take the guesswork out. During construction, technicians will inspect for proper air sealing and duct installation and pressure test the duct system. You'll know your home exceeds Georgia's strict building codes when your Right Choice home is confirmed by high-performance testing. Computer equipment gives an accurate measurement of your home's duct system, insulation and much more.
