Energy/Plus Homes Save Health and Money

Keystone Custom Homes wants to save its customers money while saving the environment. By offering Energy/Plus homebuilding products, Keystone is able to achieve this goal.

Energy/Plus homes are built with specific energy saving products. Low Emittance (Low-E) window coating reflects heat and blocks UV rays. Besides saving money on heating costs, this coating will save the life of furniture, paint, flooring, fabrics and anything that is susceptible to being faded by sunlight. In addition, UV light is bad for skin, so by blocking these rays, this coating is saving homeowners’ health.

Other energy saving building practices include concrete flooring with vapor barriers and drainage systems to reduce moisture and mold; well-sealed ductwork joints and connectors to minimize air leakage; and “super-sealed” wood-to-wood joints in the shell of the home to keep out excessive drafts.

Another energy and cost saving tool used by Keystone Custom Homes is programmable thermostats. These devices can be programmed to your family’s schedule in an attempt to reduce energy when no one is home. New homes in Lancaster, PA include custom heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems designed for maximum comfort.

Finally, Keystone uses a recycled drywall product and vinyl siding in innovative ways. Since these homes are custom built, roof trusses are designed specifically for each home in an effort to save materials and reduce waste. Other pre-cut building materials include engineered floor joists,  which are resistant to weather-related wear and tear.
