Energy Efficient Homes

Stuckmann Construction LLC has experience building and remodeling homes that conserve energy and improve your comfort by offering Energy Star homes. These homes must meet strict guidelines set by the Environmental Protection Agency. They include energy saving features that make the home at least 15% more energy efficient.

Energy efficient homes are less drafty and have better air quality which will improve comfort, lower your energy bills and protect the environment. Here are a few of the steps that can be taken to achieve your energy efficient home:

• Seal leaks in your home to reduce drafts and improve your comfort.
• Install new energy efficient windows will reduce your energy bills.
• Insulate your home to keep the warm moist air out in the summer making your home easier to cool. In the winter the insulation keeps the warm air in reducing the cost of heating your home.
• Sealing your furnace duct work can reduce dust in your home and reduce the cost of heating your home.
• Install energy efficient heating and cooling equipment, lighting, water heaters and appliances.
