Our team at 828 Builders, LLC, has been working in home construction for many years, and we want to help you create the perfect home for your family. One factor that will affect your long-term satisfaction with your home is its energy efficiency, so our team makes every effort to make the homes we build as efficient as possible. In this article, we will go over three key features that will make your home more energy efficient.
- Insulation – One of the most important parts of an energy efficient home is the insulation, which prevents heat from leaking in or out of the building. Good insulation is essential for energy efficiency, as it helps your HVAC system maintain a comfortable temperature while using as little energy as possible.
- Appliances – Another essential feature of energy efficient homes is energy efficient appliances. If you want to minimize your energy consumption, you will need your refrigerator, oven, air conditioner, heater, washing machine, and dryer to all be designed to use energy as efficiently as possible. Our team is familiar with the various appliances on the market, and you can count on us to help you select the most efficient models.
- Lighting – A third key feature of energy efficient homes is efficient lighting. The best lighting option available today is LEDs, or light emitting diodes. These lights provide the most illumination for the least energy, and they will last for years or even decades. Our team can help you select the best LED lighting for your home.
