Energy Saving Building MethodsAppliances

Whichever appliances you choose to install in your home, most brands have energy-efficient, environmentally friendly options. We typically install Wolf, Viking, and Dacor brands, all of which are ENERGY STAR qualified, maximizing efficiency and minimizing utility costs. Additionally, all the lighting fixtures we install in each home we build are ENERGY STAR rated as well, and come with the option of installing ENERGY STAR light bulbs.

The tank water heaters we use in our homes are all high efficiency products. Energy Factor (EF) is an overall efficiency rating of the water heater. The higher the EF, the more efficient the model. Water heaters with high EF ratings may cost more initially but save energy and money in the long run. Eventually, they will pay for themselves through a lifetime of energy savings.

We also use Rheem tankless gas water heaters, which provide a continuous supply of hot water from an energy-efficient and space-saving design (about the size of a medicine cabinet). They provide continuous hot water, are compact, and have intelligent electronic controls designed to increase energy efficiency and safety.
