Isn’t it time you had more control?  

Going Green is the buzz word of the day and it’s not going anywhere anytime soon.  Everything is Green now a days; from your “phone, laptop, car, TV, appliances and the list goes on“.  You’ve already seen how it’s hard to find a simple incandescent light bulb today.  Just start to imagine what it will be like 3 years from now.

But what does Green truly mean?  With so much emphasis on Green today – it’s almost impossible to get a definition of what Green is.  At its simplest form; being Green is being more consciously responsible for our daily lives and our future to come.  Most people only focus on Operating Costs Savings – but it’s also by making choices to help your Quality of life with positively effecting the environment that we all share.

But there’s more to Living Efficiently than just energy consumption – just like there’s more to your vehicle than the MPG.  Zander Homes aims to offer each family a healthier indoor living environment. Whole house spray foam insulation helps keep air pollutants out of your home, limits dust infiltration, adds sound proofing & structural rigidity and more… As well as our Tankless Water Heaters, More Efficient Gas Burning Furnaces, Low Flow Plumbing Fixtures and more. These help for a Healthier Lifestyle and a Smaller Carbon Footprint that we can pass on to our next generation.

With all of today’s technologies & innovations, we can reasonably subdue energy costs, indoor allergens and contaminants, while increasing the lifespan of our home and its systems. This is how Zander Homes Living Efficiently can help you and your family.  SEE HOW ITS ALL SCORED WITH THE HERS INDEX.
