Spacious back yards, walk-in closets, entertainment systems and the like cross our minds when planning for a new home. We look at the plans and everything looks perfect, but what about those things we don't see like insulation and ducts?

Inadequate insulation and leaking ducts can turn your dream home into an uncomfortable, high energy bill nightmare. With a Right Choice™ home, you can be sure your new home will be comfortable and economical for years to come.

Energy Efficiency Experts

Supported by the energy efficiency experts at Southface Energy Institute, Jackson EMC's Right Choice program trains Right Choice network contractors to ensure high efficiency standards are met during your home's construction. Your Right Choice home meets the requirements of the Georgia Energy Code - one of the nation's most energy efficient.

While most states have minimum building codes for energy efficiency, they can often vary in enforcement. You can take comfort knowing your Right Choice home meets Georgia's energy code standards. Southface technicians check all Right Choice contractors' work at each stage of construction before the home receives the Right Choice stamp of approval.
