At Betenbough Homes, we understand the importance of energy-efficient homes in creating comfortable, sustainable, and cost-effective living spaces. Our commitment to building high-quality homes extends to incorporating the latest eco-conscious solutions that benefit both the environment and our homeowners. Here are some of the top energy-efficient features you can find in our new homes:

1. High-Performance Insulation
Betenbough homes are built on 24" centers, allowing for increased insulation coverage in your walls. We use high-quality insulation materials that are stapled over studs and precisely cut around junction boxes, ensuring every wall cavity is fully insulated and sealed. Additionally, our attics feature R-38 insulation, providing superior thermal resistance. Unlike older homes, where insulation may deteriorate or be outdated, every new Betenbough home is built with optimal insulation for maximum energy efficiency.

2. Energy-Efficient Windows
We use double-pane, low-emissivity (Low-E) windows that provide exceptional thermal performance. These windows reduce heat loss during the winter and limit heat gain during the summer, helping to maintain a comfortable indoor environment year-round. Additionally, they block harmful UV rays, preserving your furniture and flooring from fading while contributing to an energy-efficient home.

3. Advanced HVAC Systems
Betenbough homes come equipped with 14.3 SEER 2 HVAC units, ensuring low energy bills throughout the system's lifespan. These high-efficiency units also help reduce your home's carbon footprint, making them an environmentally responsible choice. Plus, with our included programmable thermostats, you can easily control temperature settings and reduce energy usage when you're away.

4. Energy-Efficient Lighting
Our energy-efficient homes incorporate LED lighting throughout our homes. LED bulbs consume significantly less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and have a much longer lifespan. This reduces electricity costs and minimizes the need for frequent bulb replacements, contributing to a more sustainable and cost-effective home.

5. Energy Star-Rated LG Appliances
Every new Betenbough home includes energy-efficient LG® appliances, including ovens, ranges, microwaves, and dishwashers. LG® is an industry leader in energy efficiency, helping homeowners reduce energy consumption without sacrificing performance. By choosing a new Betenbough home, you're investing in a modern, energy-efficient lifestyle.

6. Efficient Roofing Materials
Our homes feature class 3 roofing materials from Malarkey Roofing Products, designed for durability and energy efficiency. The shingles are made from polymer-modified asphalt for enhanced durability. Additionally, upcycled rubber and plastics reduce landfill waste, and smog-reducing granules help clean the air. These 30-year roofing materials contribute to a well-insulated, energy-efficient home, reducing heating and cooling costs year-round.
