It’s been awhile since we’ve pointed this out, so it’s worth reminding our valued audience…Keystone Custom Homes is a green home builder! What features put the “green” in our Pennsylvania green homes? Consider the following:

Effective insulation: We insist on properly installed and inspected insulation in floors, walls, and attics to ensure more even temperatures throughout the house, significantly reduced energy use, and greatly increased comfort.

High-performance windows: What can energy efficient windows do? With features like protective coatings and improved frames, heat stays in during the winter and out in the summer. Plus, energy efficient windows block the damaging ultraviolet rays that can discolor your carpets and furnishings.

Tight construction and ducts: By sealing holes and cracks in the home’s “envelope” and in heating and cooling ducts, our Pennsylvania green homes are subject to a lower risk of drafts, moisture, dust, pollen, and noise than homes with standard construction/ducts. And, a tightly sealed home improves comfort and indoor air quality while reducing utility and maintenance.

Efficient heating and cooling equipment: Energy efficient heating and cooling systems are quieter, promote humidity reduction, and improve overall comfort. And yes, they use less energy; which means they cost less to operate!

To top it off, our Pennsylvania green homes can be equipped with ENERGY STAR qualified products to make your home as green as possible. Ask about our ENERGY STAR lighting fixtures, compact fluorescent light bulbs, fans and appliances. We do what we can to ensure the sustainability of our homes, and the minimal impact of our green building practices.
