Energy Efficiency

At The Vistas, your home will be highly energy efficient, thanks to:

Standard 2 x 6 framed exterior walls with R-19 blown cellulose insulation (R-50 in the attic)
Pella low-e windows and doors which promote energy efficiency
Water recirculators installed on the two 50-gallon water heaters providing instant hot water, reducing the amount of water use

Combine those above features with the geothermal system, and your new home exceeds a 5-Star Energy Rating, the top ranking in a home's energy efficiency.

Welek Construction employs the 'common sense' approach to energy efficient building. Even though fuel prices have varied historically, most people realize that the long term trend is steadly upwards. With the recent issuance of tax credits and rebates for geothermal technology, partnered with our superior construction, a higher resale value is added to our homes at noadditional cost.

Once people begin to realize that they can save money on their utility bill, while conserving our Earth's natural resources, they tend to warm to our philosophy of continuously striving to maximize energy efficiency.
