Energy Star Certification Means Lower Energy Costs, Better Heating and Cooling for Homeowners
In a proven commitment to energy-efficient, money-saving living, McNaughton Homes, with new home communities on both the East and West Shore, will now be the only mid-state builder to construct every single-family family home with ENERGY STAR certification standards.
New Homes with Energy Star Certification
Energy Star homes have energy-efficient appliances, high-quality insulation, effective air sealing, and high-performance windows to reduce leaks; high-efficiency heating and cooling systems; and water management techniques to prevent damage from moisture.
These elevated standards, set by the U.S Environmental Protection Agency, are third-party tested, inspected and certified.
“Homes with an ENERGY STAR Certification are at least 10 percent more energy-efficient than homes built to code, meaning you are likely to see savings every month in your heating and cooling bills, and you will have the peace of mind to know you are living in a home that is constructed of impeccable quality, from the ground on up,” said Mark McNaughton, Treasurer of McNaughton Homes.
“Buying an ENERGY STAR Home gives you an objective, official seal of approval, validating your investment in lasting comfort, value, energy conservation, cleaner air and a more sustainable future.”
“Our energy-efficient homes give you better indoor air quality, durability and reduced leaks and drafts, all of which make your house much more homey — and make your utility costs and house temperatures much more comfortable for your family and your budget as well,” McNaughton added.
McNaughton Homes’ new home communities include Autumn Chase in Upper Allen Township, the Estates at Autumn Oaks in Lower Paxton Twp., Margaret’s Grove in Susquehanna Twp., The Woods in Newberry Twp., Westbury Meadows in Hampden Twp., Wilshire Estates in Lower Paxton Twp., Parkway Farms in Lower Paxton Twp., Meadows at Colonial Club, Lower Paxton Twp.
