Energy Star Homes:

We are proud to present Energy Star qualified homes that provide measurable savings to you and help our environment too. A sampling of these energy-saving steps follows:

Air Sealing and Insulation That Works
Don't pay to heat and cool the outdoors! Air leakage and improperly installed insulation can waste 20 percent or more of the energy you pay to heat and cool your home.

Advanced Windows for Comfort
Windows are an important part of your home's beauty. But in typical homes, windows made with older techniques are simply too cold in the winter and too warm in the summer — making you feel uncomfortable and wasting energy unnecessarily.
