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 enviroment through energy efficient products and practices. Results are already adding up. Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, saved enough energy in 2009 alone to avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 30 million cars - all while saving nearly $17 billion on their utility bills. 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. Although we're very proud of our prestigious Aurora Award for the Best Energy Efficient Home, we'd rather brag about our reputation as "rebels" in our industry. We don't wait for technology to come to us - we go find it, and bring it to our customers! Gold Crest Homes was installing energy-efficient lighting standard in our homes back in 2000 - long before anyone started talking about it becoming "mandatory." We can't be sure if we're still the "only" builder in our area to install Tech-Shield Radiant Barrier insulation standard under your entire roof deck, or KVAR Energy Controllers - but we know we were first. Heck, we don't even mind when other builders begin to copy us! Energy efficiency is good for homeowners. It's good for our country. It's good for the planet. And it's the right thing to do. So, if others want to follow our example - we say: "The more the better!" But if you want to build on the leading edge of technology, you're going to want to build with Gold Crest Homes! |
"After considerable research, we selected Gold Crest Homes as our builder. They were friendly and flexible with our requests for design modifications. Our house was completed on time due to the excellent coordination of all the Gold Crest professionals. Many years later, we still feel part of the Gold Crest family." PAUL AND LOUISE MATHIS |
