Energy-Efficient Features Every New Home Buyer Should Ask For

When buying a new home, square footage, location, and design often get the spotlight, but one of the most important factors to consider is energy efficiency. An energy-efficient home doesn’t just help the environment; it also saves you money, improves comfort, and ensures your home is built with the future in mind.

If you’re searching for a new home, here are the energy-efficient features you should always ask for, and why they matter.

Tankless Gas Water Heater

Say goodbye to running out of hot water. A tankless gas water heater delivers hot water on demand while using less energy than traditional tanks. You’ll enjoy endless comfort while lowering your utility bills.

Radiant Barrier Roof Decking

Radiant barriers are like sunscreen for your home. This special layer reflects heat away from the attic, reducing cooling costs and keeping your home more comfortable, especially in Texas summers.

Superior Insulation

Proper insulation is the foundation of an energy-efficient home. With R-15 blown-in insulation in the walls and R-38 blown-in insulation in the attic, your home stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer, all while reducing energy use.

Roof Ventilation

A well-ventilated attic keeps air circulating evenly, preventing hot spots and helping your HVAC system run more efficiently.

Gas Furnace Heating

A gas furnace provides reliable, efficient heat without the high costs of electric-only systems, ensuring your family stays comfortable year-round.

High-Efficiency Central AC

Our homes feature 16 SEER electrical central air conditioning units, which use less energy to keep your home cool, helping you save money during long, hot seasons.

LED Lighting Throughout

LED lighting is brighter, longer-lasting, and far more energy-efficient than traditional bulbs. It’s a simple feature with long-term benefits.
