2025 – Rieger Homes is excited to announce that the remaining homes to be built at Beacon Knoll, its highly successful 13 home community in the City of Beacon, New York will utilize advanced heat pump technologies combined with our cutting-edge energy savings practices.  The result will be a well-designed, beautiful, energy efficient new home with a lower carbon footprint – the wave of the future. 

Rieger Homes will utilize a cold-climate heat pump in the remaining 4 homes to be built at Beacon Knoll.  Today’s cold-climate heat pumps are a smart, very effective technology to keep your home comfortable all year long. These all-in-one heating and air conditioning systems are environmentally friendly, extremely efficient, and affordable to operate.  The advanced technologies are designed to work well and keep you warm even through our New York winters.

What is a Heat Pump? 

At the most basic level, a heat pump is an appliance that can heat and cool your home by moving heat instead of having to create it. In the summer it moves it outside and In the winter it reverses the mechanical process gathering heat (yes even in the cold) and moves it inside to warm the home. This process uses much less energy than a furnace or boiler.  Modern heat pumps are excellent at maintaining a constant temperature and humidity in your home and are designed to work at a continuous fixed low level

Reducing the carbon footprint can improve air quality, protect ecosystems, and contribute to sustainable development.  

In addition to utilizing a heat pump to heat and cool the homes, Rieger Homes incorporates many other energy saving elements to prepare for the future.

  • Capacity for future car charging stations
  • Electric hot water heater
  • Electric Range and preparation for electric dryer
  • LED Lighting throughout home
