What Makes A Home ENERGY-EFFICIENT?

Energy-efficient homes are more than just adding more insulation or more efficient HVAC systems.  It begins with planning before construction ever begins to make sure everything works well together as a system.  It's having a tight envelope around the home, properly installed insulation, efficient windows, right-sized efficient HVAC system and so on.  Manchester Elite Homes is proud of the fact that we've always built our homes above code requirements to ensure you get the most comfortable, cost-effective home you can buy.

 

Key Components of a Manchester ELITE Home

When building our energy-efficient houses, there are a number of crucial factors that we include with nearly every project. These features include:

  • Tankless Hot Water Heaters -- On-demand hot water when you need it.
  • High-Efficiency HVAC and Sealed Ducts - Helps improve indoor air quality and provides better temperature control.
  • Argon-Filled Low-E Windows - Blocks most UV rays which can cause fading in your home!
  • Net and Fill wall insulation - Fills in voids better than batt insulation.
  • R-44 Attic Insulation -- Exceeds code requirements to keep your home better insulated.
  • Frame and Attic Sealing -- Sealing cracks and voids on the exterior of your home helps to insulate it further.  It keeps the "paid for" air in your home.

Indoor Air Quality Features

  • Low VOC Paint - Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's) have been proven to be harmful to your health.
  • Green Label Carpet, Pad and Floor Adhesives - Reduced VOC content over standard carpet.
  • Externally Vented Kitchen and Bath Exhaust Fans - Takes generated pollutants out.
