R-value, Efficiency and Comfort

Many homeowners and builders think that the secret to home energy efficiency is lots of R-value and an inexpensive heating source, like free wood. In fact, the quality of construction and attention to detail has a much bigger impact on comfort and efficiency than high levels of insulation or fuel choice.

High R-values and inexpensive fuels without something called Thermal Integrity rarely result in customer satisfaction.

Thermal integrity is achieved when insulation, structural and mechanical components are installed as a system to achieve maximum energy efficiency. This process reduces infiltration, ductwork leakage and insures high thermal performance of all materials. These loses can represent forty percent to seventy percent of the energy loss in your home if they are not specifically addresses during construction and verified by final inspection before moving in.

How Efficient

Based on the performance of existing Comfort Homes, Comfort Home owners can expect their homes to use 25% to 40% less energy for heating and cooling than standard homes. Comfort Home will calculate the exact warranted heating and cooling energy consumption for your new home even before you begin construction. All this, plus the Comfort Home warranty assures you of the highest levels of customer satisfaction.

How Comfortable

Many homeowners are annoyed by drafts and cold and warm spots in their homes that are the result of thermal voids. The Comfort Home process works to eliminate these problems at the source. When a home is certified by Comfort Home and if the owner is not comfortable, Comfort Home Corporation will ensure the problem is corrected to meet acceptable standards. This may include heating system adjustments, thermal integrity improvements or owner education.

The thousands of new homes warranted and built to Comfort Home standards each year continue to positively support the research. So, join the winners. Make sure that your new home is a Comfort Home. Enjoy the lowest operating costs and highest levels of comfort possible in your new Comfort Home, guaranteed.
