In the modern building world, designing an energy efficient home is one of the most important features in a custom home. When comparing a new home to a preowned, older homes may not have products such as triple pane windows, proper insulation around the home, and a properly sealed exterior that makes the home air tight to prevent infiltration. This means that utility bills can be exceptionally high, with increased risk of molds and other long term damages as well.
All of our homes at Poetry are built with high efficient appliances, triple pane windows, with most custom homes incorporating in-floor radiant heat in the concrete slabs (one of the most efficient ways to heat a home!). They are all properly sealed, air-tight, with many having extra insulation going on the exterior above the sheathing. We use energy efficient appliances, as well as building material, and will make sure your utility bills are low.
