How Efficient is “Energy Efficient?”
The term energy efficiency can be used to describe a wide variety of products and services. A home could simply have energy efficient light bulbs in order to gain the distinction of “energy efficient” but that would be unscrupulous. Buying a home is the biggest, most important purchase you’ll have to make so it only makes sense to be as focused as possible. Don’t be afraid to ask the tough questions. If a home builder boasts energy efficient homes, ask them what gives them that distinction. At Cullers Homes, for example, we build all of our homes to be as efficient as possible. This isn’t something we reserve for our higher-priced homes; it’s our standard! We’ll briefly outline what makes our homes stand apart from the pack.
Energy Efficient Homes: Inside and Out
In order for a home to be as energy efficient as possible, it’s necessary to build it from the ground up with efficiency in mind. Using spray foam insulation, for instance, will allow for air-conditioned air to remain within the house. All too often, homes with leaks and drafts cost homeowners hundreds of dollars on wasted energy every year. With proper insulation, you won’t have to worry about losing that comfortable air! Our homes also come with Pella brand double pane, low-E, advanced argon gas windows. That might seem like a lofty title for windows but it means they will help keep your home’s interior as comfortable as possible while cutting down on harmful ultraviolet rays which can cause furniture and carpeting to fade with time (not to mention raise your home’s interior temperature). Each one of our homes also come with a 14+ SEER engineered HVAC system so you’ll be able to face the arid El Paso summers without fear.
