At Dunhill Homes, we follow energy efficient design and building principles that make our homes more energy efficient than homes built 10 years ago. We use up-to-date homebuilding technology, ENERGY STAR appliances, and energy-efficient building materials with recycled content whenever possible. In a Dunhill Home, you'll reduce your carbon footprint and your utility bills at the same time.
Many builders offer "optional" energy efficient appliances and products, which means when you get to the closing table, you pay more. Dunhill Homes doesn’t believe that puts you or the environment first. That’s why all of our homes come with energy efficient building processes, equipment, materials and ENERGY STAR appliances, standard. Yes, it costs us a little more.
Did you know that almost half of your home's energy use is dedicated to heating and cooling? That's why we place so much emphasis on making sure your Dunhill Home is built with heating and cooling efficiency. Your HVAC units are energy-efficient to help save on heating and cooling bills. Our installers are professionally trained and we always inspect installations. Improper HVAC installation can reduce system efficiency by up to 30 percent, costing you more on your utility bills and possibly shortening your equipment's life. This is something you don't have to worry about in your Dunhill Home.
Our insulation system includes a combination of products and construction techniques that protect your home from outside temperatures, air leaks, and control moisture. Our ducts are insulated and carefully sealed. Low E windows are installed, standard, to help keep heat inside during the winter and outside during the summer. All of these steps improve the efficiency of your heating and cooling system by as much as 30 percent. Plus, we consider the extras. For example, Dunhill Homes include programmable thermostats, standard. Through proper use of pre-programmed settings, you can save up to another $180 every year in energy costs.
