Energy Efficiency Built In

In addition to their stylish and attractive features, Southern Homes are intelligently designed with energy efficient planning in mind. We want your house to work hard to save you money. (Don't forget to ask us about our GreenBuild green options!)

All our heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems feature a 13 SEER level. Our HVAC systems are strategically placed in a central location to reduce the time and distance air must travel to heat or cool your home - this translates into money savings for homeowners. Our homes exceed building code requirements with R-30 insulation in the ceilings to keep your home cool during those hot summer months and warm during the chilly winter days. Each window and door is set with a tight sealant to keep out unwanted moisture and air flow.

In addition to each home’s built in features, all Southern Homes can be outfitted with Energy Star Appliances. From refrigerators to front loading washing machines, you will see the savings stack up.

Water conservation is an ongoing battle in Polk County and to do our part, we bed each home with Bahia grass*. Bahia is a low maintenance grass resistant to drought, disease, and insect attacks. Homesites are also landscaped with plants and shrubs that require minimal amounts of water so your “free time” is not always “yard work” time.

The building industry is constantly advancing to creating more and more energy efficient materials. Homes built by today’s standards far exceed those of resale homes. Come start experiencing the new home savings today by calling (888) 899-7434 or click here for more information!

*Bahia is used except in developments where other grass types are required.
