Energy Star® Partner
Rubicon Custom Homes is one of the few Energy Star Partners in the area. 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 2006 alone to avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 25 million cars—all while saving $14 billion on their utility bills.

As an Energy Star Partner, we recommend Energy Star appliances like air conditioners, furnaces, heat pumps, windows, lighting, and more. We offer Energy Star-approved techniques like home and duct sealing that improve energy efficiency and create a more comfortable living environment.

We design and build homes to meet Energy Star recommendations: with effective insulation, high-performance windows, tight constructions and ducts, efficient heating and cooling equipment, and Energy Star lighting and appliances. We can even have your home verified by a third-party inspector to award it an Energy Star certification.

Not only is our approach the wave of the future, it leads to many benefits for you:

• Peace of mind: We do the research for you!
• Lower ownership cost: Energy Star qualified homes use substantially less energy, adding up to thousands of dollars saved on utility bills over the course of just seven to eight years.
• Better performance: Energy efficient improvements give better protection against cold, heat, drafts, moisture, noise, pollen, pests, and pollution. They also make your home more durable over time.
• Smart investment: As interest in energy efficiency increases, your Energy Star home will accrue greater value when it comes time to sell.
• Environmental protection: Energy-efficient homes use fewer renewable resources and decrease greenhouse gas emissions.
