Four major advantages of new houses: Trendy, safe, energy-saving, low-maintenance. The Alberta Times When it comes to new houses, home buyers often think of a bright building with novel design, modern decoration, the latest equipment and an attractive "new house" smell everywhere. Indeed, according to a survey by the National Association of Home Builders, new houses have the following four major advantages: 1. New houses can reflect today’s latest trends and tastes from overall planning to interior layout, and the design is more reasonable and practical. Such as a spacious living room, ample closets, separate bathrooms for master and guest, dishwashers, washing and drying machines, etc., and a central air-conditioning system is indispensable. Modern families have more and more various household appliances with more and more uses, so the necessary power sockets and telephone plugs are already installed indoors and outdoors. If buyers have their own special requirements for certain layout or interior decoration of the new house, they can also submit them to the builder, and these requirements can be met at a very low cost. 2. The new house and its supporting facilities have better safety performance. According to statistics, owners of new houses are far less likely to be injured or killed by fire than those who live in older houses. The main reason is that there are smoke alarms on every floor and even in every room of the new house. They are all connected to each other through electrical circuits. As long as one is triggered, they will all sound an alarm signal. And they are equipped with backup batteries in case of indoor circuit failure. Since most new homes are heated by central air conditioning, there is no chance of disaster caused by malfunctioning electric heaters and window air conditioners. At the same time, building commercial buildings has raised the standard of designing electrical circuits throughout the house to meet the electrical requirements of modern homes. When a local circuit is overloaded, the system will automatically cut off the power supply to that part, ensuring the normal operation of other indoor appliances and preventing the entire house from being in darkness when the resistance wire burns out. In addition, the glass installed in new houses, especially floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors, have been specially strengthened and will only shatter into fine shards instead of sharp-edged fragments when broken. Moreover, all building materials that have adverse effects on human health, such as asbestos, lead-based paint, and boards that emit formaldehyde odor, are banned. 3. The owner of a new house can save a lot of money on energy. In recent years, the federal government's energy and environmental departments have urged builders to use higher-grade building materials and accessories in order to save energy and protect the environment. Newly built homes are generally equipped with double-glazed windows to prevent the loss of indoor cooling and heating. New building materials can better isolate noise from the outdoors and prevent water vapor caused by the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor from entering the room and forming water droplets that damage the wall. There is also a central air-conditioning system with timed and quantitative functions. These modern concepts in design and construction make the energy expenditure of owning a new house much lower than that of an old house that is 20 or 30 years old. 4. New houses have quality guarantee and low maintenance costs. New home builders either directly offer a quality warranty or purchase insurance from an insurance company to provide a similar guarantee, which generally covers construction defects that occur within ten years. In the first two or three years after a new house is sold, many supporting facilities in the house, such as carpets, air-conditioning systems, refrigerators, etc., are guaranteed by the manufacturer. Therefore, homeowners do not need to make any repairs in the first few years after moving in. As long as they pay a little attention and do simple maintenance work, it is enough.
