• Grand Builders LLC has a set of standards to ensure that your home is the most energy efficient and high-performance home around. This includes the utilization of matched HVAC Equipment, 14 SEER Electric Air-to-Air Heat Pump, R-4.2 duct-work located in conditioned space, 6” open-cell sprayed foam roof deck insulation, 3.5” open-cell sprayed foam exterior walls (or 2” closed cell foam), slab floor, and double pane Low-E vinyl windows. Our homes are substantially more energy efficient than homes built to the minimum code requirements.

​

• Spray Foam Insulation is better than any other type of insulation at reducing air leakage. Spray foam can fully insulate a home or building, as well as seal it from air and moisture infiltration, resulting in a more efficient structure with lower energy bills. Spray foam can also strengthen the walls and roof of a home or building, as well as protect it from airborne particulates and mold.

​

• Tank less Gas Water Heaters provide an endless supply of heated water at lower cost saving approximately $25/month. These water heaters are more expensive on the front end but result in much lower bills. 

​

• Duct-work and most plumbing are almost entirely inside the thermal envelope to eliminate exposure to unconditioned air.

​

• ENERGY STAR Appliances and Fans can save up to $80 a year in energy costs compared to standard appliances. Providing improved quality and durability, ENERGY STAR appliances can result in fewer mechanical problems, longer equipment life, and in many cases extended warranties. Also, ENERGY STAR appliances often include features that decrease operating noise, while others include technologies that reduce water use.
