Home Energy Efficiency

Ply Gem Energy Efficient Windows

Every window is reliable and efficient. They provide features like argon gas fill between panes, convenient slimline frame depth, and energy-efficient low-E warm edge insulating glass for enhanced energy performance.

14-Seer Air Conditioning

Efficiency rating meets or exceeds 14.00 SEER - which can save you hundreds of dollars a year, compared to a standard air conditioner. Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ration (SEER), an energy efficiency rating for air conditioners.

2 x 6 Exterior wall Construction

Most builders now use 2x4 studs for exterior wall construction. Except for our two smallest homes, we use 2x6 studs for exterior wall construction to maximize stability and wall space for insulation.

R-38 Attic Insulation

Attics are insulated with R-38

Insulation in garage

Many builders leave the garage unfinished. Not only do we finish the garage but we insulate the garage walls and ceiling in all of our models 1400 square feet or larger.

Mastic sealed duct system

What better way to save energy, than to seal the duct system so conditioned air blows into your home and not the attic.

Solar power is an available option

Solar power does not come standard on each home, however, many home buyers choose to add this option to dramatically reduce if not eliminate their electric bill.

LED can lights in Kitchen

This high efficiency Energy Star LED Trim provides year-round energy savings.
- Save on bulb replacement up to 50k hours lamp life.
- IC rated for direct contact with insulation
- 65-Watt bulb equivalent light output - 11-Watt energy used

5) Spray Foam Attic Insulation

Spray Foam Insulation

Having the HVAC ductwork in near conditioned space provides for a more comfortable, healthy and energy-efficient home.

In traditional vented attic construction the ducts are in the attic and get extremely hot or cold depending on the outside temperature or sun. Attics can get up to 160 degrees in the summertime making the air coming out of your ducts very hot and instead of being comfortable. Hot air can be immediately pumped into your house that has to be made up for by blowing more cold air later. Not only is this uncomfortable but it makes your HVAC unit work harder to cool or heat your house. Another issue with vented attics is they allow bugs and critters to enter your attic and eventually into your home around lights and vents.

With the Angle Homes system, we have sprayed foam against the roof deck which keeps the ductwork at a temperature of about 6 degrees different than the house conditioned space. Your air comes out cool in the summer and hot in the winter. The HVAC unit does not have to work as hard making it more energy-efficient. With the spray foam in the attic, we have also right-sized the HVAC unit and the ductwork. This allows us to install a smaller unit that runs for a longer period and distributes air more effectively. This is not only saving you money because the system is smaller and the motor is not starting and stopping as often but makes the home more comfortable. Our spray foam creates a tighter air seal that keeps out the bugs and critters more effectively.
