Are your homes energy efficient?

We are glad you asked! Saddlebrook consistently goes above and beyond energy efficiency requirements with HERS index scores as low as the 60’s (the average new home has a HERS index of 100, a used home is often 130).

We take a “whole-house” approach to energy efficiency. It’s the combination of sound, everyday use features of a home that add overall efficiency value.

Our objective is to provide a home that saves you money in the long run. Energy products used in our homes vary by municipal requirements (Town, County, City codes). Here are some of the things Saddlebrook does to ensure your home is tighter, more energy-efficient, and less expensive to maintain than other homes:

– Foam Flashing exterior walls (by the community), as well as caulking between critically located studs, floor plates, and drywall seams (air pressure boundaries)
– Low-E, energy-efficient windows bounce heat back to the source and protect against UV fading inside the home.
– Highly efficient, 14 seer heating and cooling systems with Mastic sealed ductwork.
– Radiant foil roof decking keeps your attic and ductwork cooler by bouncing radiant heat back off of your roof and out of your attic.
– Thermo-ply insulation board is used on all boundaries between finished and attic spaces to prevent air transfer.
– We foam insulate all penetrations exterior to interior (electrical, plumbing, HVAC)
– Offer highly efficient water heating systems like tankless, gas-powered water heaters.

We want you to invest in a beautiful home that is also smart-minded when it comes to energy. Please our customers about their utility bills – you will like the answer!
