BerHoff Homes, LLC is proud to partner with
Wisconsin ENERGY STAR® Homes
As a high performance builder, we strive to provide the highest quality service and products to all our customers. That's why we participate in the Wisconsin ENERGY STAR Homes program - a program designed to help homeowners know and understand they are building a high performance home that is comfortable, safe, durable and energy efficient. And we can prove it.
WISCONSIN ENERGY STAR HOMES
The Wisconsin ENERGY STAR Homes program is a simple way for you to understand that the quality of your new home lies in the details - details that you may not see. Like the safety of a power-vented water heater. And the comfort and energy efficiency provided by the properly installed insulation. Or the convenience of a quiet exhaust fan and how it contributes to indoor air quality. These are simple, inexpensive details that can help you get the most comfortable, safe, durable and energy efficient new home possible. Keep reading to learn more.
EXPERT PARTNERSHIP
We work closely with Wisconsin ENERGY STAR Homes consultants to create a home environment that is safe, comfortable, durable and energy efficient. This is accomplished through site visits that verify construction details, and performance tests to be sure that your home works as designed and meets the Wisconsin ENERGY STAR Homes criteria. Pictures of a final inspection of performance are show below.
DETAILS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
As with any major purchase, you're looking for quality in your new home. In a Wisconsin ENERGY STAR Home, the quality is in the details - details you may not be aware of:
- A quality home built with greater attention to detail
- Properly installed insulation and draft-free construction
- The ability to control or enhance indoor quality by managing indoor moisture and airborne pollutants
- Added safety, because furnace, water heater and fireplace combustion by-products are exhausted directly from the home.
- Added durability, because warm moist inside air, as well as rain and moisture from the outside, is kept out of walls and attic spaces, preventing structural damage.
- Greater energy efficiency, including electrical as well as monthly space heating and cooling savings
BUILDING SMARTER, BUILDING SAFER, BUILDING BETTER
Wisconsin ENERGY STAR Homes are on average 25 percent more efficient that those built to the Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling code. Each certified home includes:
- Carbon monoxide detector requirement
- Ventilation capacity testing
- Building air tightness standard
- Mandatory safe combustion equipment
- Professional consultation
- Electrical efficiency options
THE RESULTS
We value this program and believe it is important for all homeowners to have the most comfortable, safe, durable and energy efficient home possible. And we can prove it. Call us and we'll tell you how.
