ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy helping us all save money and protect the environment through energy efficient products and practices.
Results are already adding up. Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, saved enough energy in 2008 alone to avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 29 million cars — all while saving $19 billion on their utility bills.
For The Home
Energy efficient choices can save families about a third on their energy bill with similar savings of greenhouse gas emissions, without sacrificing features, style or comfort. ENERGY STAR helps you make the energy efficient choice.
Wathen-Castanos, Inc. is proud to say that it is an Energy Star Qualified Home Builder. We take extra time to ensure that our homes are filled, not only with Energy Star appliances, but whole house lighting, exhaust fans, tankless hot water heaters, as well as Cascade Solarban 70XL windows.
All appliances that come standard in Wathen-Castanos, Inc. homes are Energy Star Appliances.
All furnaces in Wathen-Castanos, Inc. homes exceed Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency and are, up to 54% more efficient than the California standards, giving home owners additional energy savings.
The Zone Perfect Plus heating and air conditioning system gives you the ability to choose different temperatures for various areas of your home. This system not only saves energy, but it gives you more temperature control over your environment.
If you really want to take it to the next level of energy-efficiency, Wathen-Castanos, Inc. has exactly what you’re looking for. Solar Panels can increase your energy savings even more! Adding optional solar panels to your Foxton Chase or Ivy Gate home will help keep our air clean, save money on your electricity bill and help the community by reducing electricity demand and providing additional electricity to the grid.
In addition to all of these features, all Wathen-Castanos, Inc. homes receive a third-party inspection by the Home Energy Rating System (HERS). Necessities such as insulation, tight ducts and filtration are checked and rated to make sure that all homes are safe and energy efficient.
