Hybrid - A smarter, healthier way to live

The sheathing provides a thermal barrier that reflects radiant heat rather than absorbing it.

• Reduces radiant heat transfer through the roof by up to 97%
• Lowers attic temperatures by up to 30ºF
• Increases the efficiency of the insulation and attic ductwork
• Extends the life of the HVAC system
• Significantly improves indoor comfort level
• Reduces cooling costs

Today’s vinyl siding looks great and is so easy to keep that way.

• Never requires repainting, saving time and money, and keeping harmful chemicals out of the environment and away from your home
• Exceptional durability leaves a smaller carbon footprint.



Heating and cooling systems, floor and roof trusses, and stair assemblies are engineered with shorter lengths of 2X4 lumber, and designed for quality and conservation.

• Conserve natural resources by reducing the amount of lumber required
• Reduce construction costs
• Cut the cost for constructing custom shapes, like cathedral ceilings
• Eliminate load-bearing interior walls by transmitting the weight to the exterior
• Enable stronger, quieter floors

Rely on gas heat for safe, clean, and affordable energy.

• Use a resource that’s renewable
• Natural gas furnaces deliver air at a comfortable 120ºF versus 95ºF from an electric furnace
• Protect the environment with clean-burning natural gas
• Take advantage of 90% efficiency of natural gas, compared to 27% for electric heat

Our superior system for creating a thermal barrier and airtight seal on your home prevents leaks.

• High R-value wall and ceiling insulation retains cool indoor air in the summer and warm in the winter
• Insulation provides valuable sound-proofing
• Space-age house wrap creates a water-resistant barrier that keeps your home dry and also reduces energy costs
• Air sealant is sprayed on all unsealed areas around window and door frames, exterior framing, attic stairs, knee walls, and exterior utility access
• Mastic and caulk is applied to all HVAC connections

We make it easier to manage your home’s temperature and save money while doing so.

• Save energy and costs when you pre-set the temperature for different conditions, like when you’re away from home
• Count on the greater accuracy of programmable thermostats
• Eliminate mercury that’s found in conventional thermostats
• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by conserving energy

We install certified ENERGY STAR appliances in your home to ensure you’re getting maximum efficiency.

• Tightened requirements ensure that today’s energy-efficient appliances use less than half of those manufactured just 12 years ago.

Low-emissive windows are treated with a coating that enhances the performance.

• Decrease energy loss by as much as 30% to 50%
• Prevent sunlight from increasing the interior temperature
• Reduce fading of fabrics from harmful UV rays
• Provide the beautiful look of wood without the high maintenance
• Resist rotting, corrosion, salt air, termites, and air pollutants

With up to 50% of your home’s energy going to heating and cooling, it pays to be efficient here.

• Reduce energy consumption without compromising comfort with our 14 SEER HVAC system
• Duct seams and connections are sealed with mastic of metal-backed foil tape to prevent air leaks

New technology conserves water, so less clean drinking water goes down the drain and less money flows into your utility costs.

• Low-flush toilets use only 1.28 gallons per flush, versus 6 gallons for older models—which is why toilets account for 40% of a household’s water use
• Low-flow shower heads use 20% to 40% less water than older fixtures
• Our low-flow bathroom faucets use up to 32% less water than regular faucets 

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) used to be essential to their performance but released low-level toxic emissions.

• Low-VOC paints in our homes are less harmful to human and environmental health and safety
• Reducing the VOCs creates a paint that’s actually more durable
• Costs for choosing low-VOC have gone down as demand goes up

Get all the hot water you need, courtesy of on-demand heating that also reduces energy costs.

• Prolong the time between replacements with the 20-year life expectancy
• Eliminate risk of tank leaks and water damage
• Outdoor installation frees up interior space
• Enjoy a continuous flow of hot water

Carbon fluorescent light bulbs have become the smart choice for conserving energy without losing the light.

• Use 75% less electricity than a traditional incandescent bulb
• Change bulbs much less frequently because CLFs last 15 to 25 times longer than incandescent bulbs
• Decrease the heat emitted from the bulb by approximately 75%
