Energy Star Appliances
New construction homes often come equipped with Energy Star appliances, a label that signifies their exceptional energy efficiency. These appliances include refrigerators, dishwashers, and washing machines that are engineered with advanced technologies that optimize performance while minimizing energy consumption. In turn, homeowners can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with these eco-friendly appliances.
Improved Insulation
Insulation is key to regulating an El Paso new construction home’s indoor temperature, reducing energy consumption, and enhancing comfort. Several innovative insulation technologies we incorporate into our new construction homes include:
- Spray Foam Insulation: This type of insulation is highly effective at sealing gaps and cracks in walls and ceilings, preventing heat loss and air infiltration. It also provides superior thermal resistance.
- Pella Low-E Argon Gas-Insulated Windows: High-quality windows with low emissivity coatings and argon gas insulation between panes are integral to a home’s energy efficiency. They minimize heat transfer and UV radiation, allowing for improved insulation and reduced heating and cooling costs.
- R-5 Insulated Slabs: This material helps maintain a stable indoor temperature, reducing the need for heating and cooling in new construction homes.
- R-9 Insulated Garage Doors: You may not realize it, but garage doors can significantly impact a home’s efficiency. This material helps prevent temperature fluctuations in attached garages.
LED Lighting
LED lighting, also known as Light light-emitting diode bulbs, is more energy-efficient and longer-lasting than traditional incandescent or fluorescent bulbs. They consume significantly less electricity. Similarly, LEDs produce minimal heat, making them safer in warmer climates.
