While all homeowners want their homes to be as energy-efficient as possible, being “green” or “eco-friendly” may not always provide the intended savings. Instead, the best course of action is often centered around energy efficient products.
For example vinyl windows are typically not considered “green” because they’re not made from biodegradable products. However, vinyl windows can help the homeowner maximize energy efficiency and save money.
Major Homes offers a wide range of energy efficient products & solutions:
Windows – Should have glass that is at least double paned, and has a low e-coding with argon gas between the glass, foam filled frames and sashes on the windows, and heavy weather stripping.
Doors – Installation is key. It is important to have heavy insulation, including magnetic weather stripping with a polyurethane foam core.
Siding – New siding, should have a high R-Value, the number associated with insulation. The higher the number, the more cold-resistant the siding will be.
Roofing – Commonly overlooked when considering energy-efficiency, a good roof system properly ventilates the house. At Major Homes we understand the importance of quality roofing. Our experts analyze the current state of your roof and determine whether a roof renovation can improve energy efficiency.
Homeowners may also be entitled to tax benefits as a result of energy-efficient upgrades:
