Energy Star/EnerGuide®
Halminen expertise and ENERGY STAR® efficiency make a winning combination
ENERGY STAR® is a standard feature in every Halminen detached home, and offers a wide range of health and financial benefits to our homeowners.
For most homeowners, the #1 performance indicator is comfort. A truly comfortable home is warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and free from drafts. Halminen Homes uses the “house as a system” approach to building – carefully considering the interaction of all the systems in the home (e.g. heating, ventilation, insulation).
The materials and construction techniques used in building ENERGY STAR® homes can significantly increase thermal, acoustic, and visual comfort. Simply put, ENERGY STAR® homes offer a quieter, healthier, and cleaner living environment.
ENERGY STAR® features include insulation upgrades, higher-performance, Low-E Argon windows, tighter construction including TYVEK house wrapping, more efficient heating with a complete HRV system and sealed ducts for better air distribution.
ENERGY STAR® benefits include lower energy bills, improved comfort, cleaner indoor air, lower impact on the environment and higher resale value.
The ENERGY STAR® label is earned only after the home's energy efficiency is verified by an independent third-party goverment certified inspector. Look for the ENERGY STAR® label which should be prominently displayed on the circuit breaker box. It’s your assurance that your new Halminen home will provide you and your family years of healthy indoor air and reduce energy costs.
