Efficient Windows // Solar Panels // Fluorescent Lights
Wathen-Castanos, Inc. Hybrid Homes™ include the most dramatic advancement in window glass technology in more than a decade released to homebuilders in 2007. This means we can build our homes with more windows that provide more protection and more efficiency. This next generation of windows not only looks spectacular, but is also the best in the industry at preventing and filtering the sun’s harsh rays from unintentionally heating up your home or fading your furniture. At first you’ll like the windows because they are a beautiful addition to your new home. Overtime you’ll love the windows because they are energy efficient and block over 90% of the UV rays.

There are many benefits to using renewable power including keeping our air clean, saving money on your electricity bill and helping the community by reducing electricity demand and providing additional electricity to the grid. For these reasons, Wathen-Castanos, Inc. offers optional solar panels which are silent, have no moving parts and are nonpolluting.
Since lighting accounts for roughly 20% of your utility bill, can you afford energy-draining lighting? Each one of our fluorescent lights uses about 75% less energy then the standard light bulb and lasts 10 times longer. Superior lighting technology is available in every new Wathen-Castanos, Inc. Hybrid Home™ throughout 100% of the home. You deserve an entire home with lighting that’s not from the dark ages.
