Testimonials
Read what some of our satisfied homeowners have to say about living in a TEP Guarantee Home.
"Before I purchased my home, I was aware of the benefits of the Tucson Electric Guarantee Program. What I didn't realize is just how great it really is ... until I received my one year recap from Tucson Electric. Last year, my 1,383 square foot home cost less than $17 a month to heat and cool. I not only enjoyed the comforts of my new home, but saved money while doing so."

"I purchased a TEP Guarantee Home in April 2001. It was built by Dan Rorbach and is approximately 1,500 square feet. During the last year, I have paid special attention to energy efficiency and comfort, especially during the summer months. I have been completely satisfied with the way my house has performed. It has been even less expensive to heat and cool than I expected. The air temperature throughout the house is consistent during both heating and cooling seasons, which is very important to me. ... I couldn't be happier with the design and energy efficiency of my house. I'd recommend a Guarantee Home to anyone looking to buy a house."

"...After one year in our new home, we were astonished when we received our Anniversary Report showing our average daily heating and cooling cost to be $0.70, well below the TEP "guaranteed" average daily heating and cooling cost of $1.37. Our home had been comfortable at all times, whether we were heating or cooling, and we had lived normally. We would never purchase a home that did not carry the Tucson Electric Power Company Guarantee for comfort, health and energy efficiency. With this guarantee we know the builder has used advanced construction technology to assure our comfort in winter or summer, in every room in the house."

"We are extremely happy with our TEP Guarantee Home and we are very comfortable. We love our heat pump and are now very spoiled and would never switch back to an evaporative cooler. Another feature that we really like is the fresh air ventilation and the way the home was constructed. We would certainly recommend this program to any new home buyer."

"Working in the homebuilding industry and specifically for the Tucson builder,The Kemmerly Company, who was the first subdivision participant in the TEP Guarantee Program, has made me an outspoken advocate of the Program. Over the years, I have seen first-hand the cost, health and energy benefits that the Program provides. I was so impressed with the Guarantee Program that when recently building our own custom home, the first decision (and the easiest!) to make was to be sure our home was a TEP Guarantee Home. Over the course of our first year in our home we have realized a substantial cost savings compared to our former 'non-Guarantee' home, but most importantly we know that the Program's construction requirements and field testing have helped to make our home a better place to live for the life of the home."
