Guaranteed Heating & Cooling Costs

Antares Homes features Guaranteed Heating & Cooling Costs, a daring new concept in energy efficiency. This system represents a breakthrough in building science by utilizing a total systems approach to energy conservation in residential construction. We use computer modeling, high density cellulose insulation, air infiltration control and HVAC system design, and then test each home for efficiency.

According to Antares President and CEO, Ron Formby, "Now homeowners will not only know the cost of buying a home, but owning a home as well. They will know in advance what their air-conditioning and heating costs will be. We have met all the requirements to assure the guarantee of air-conditioning and heating costs for three years, or the independent inspection company will pay the difference.

Yes, Guaranteed!

While other builders offer various programs to promote energy efficiency, it's our guarantee that positions us well ahead of competitors in terms of a total energy-saving system. Whether energy prices remain constant or increase rapidly as they have in the past, our homeowners are assured of getting the most from their investment as long as they own a home built by Antares and equipped with our energy efficient systems."

Energy efficiency is an integral part of your home. During the design and construction phases, technicians use state-of-the-art technology to test the entire system. Each home is analyzed for maximum thermal efficiency and comfort. Blower door testing is performed on each home to help detect air leakage and maintain the quality of construction. Tracers and sensitive monitoring equipment are also used to help prevent the energy loss prevalent in typical homes. Once the specifications for energy efficient construction are met, the home is awarded a special warranty, which guarantees your annual heating and cooling costs. It's your assurance of a comfortable, energy efficient home.

Formby adds, "You can expect annual savings of 40% - 60% on your cooling and heating costs compared to conventional homes. Besides the obvious savings benefit, this system offers the ultimate in comfort and livability. By controlling air infiltration, we virtually eliminate uncomfortable drafts in your new home. The high-density cellulose insulation offers a dramatic reduction of noise transmission from outside the home. The insulation also helps make your home safer in case of fire and provides a much healthier environment for your family, as cellulose does not have the health issues associated with fiberglass."

Homeowner concerns about energy efficiency and controlling the cost of owning a home are just another reason why Antares Homes continues to receive high marks for complete customer satisfaction.
