Rieger Homes is proud to announce our continued partnership with the Energy Star Council in the construction of Energy Star qualified new homes.  Committed to the best interests of our customers and our environment, Rieger Homes currently has eight Energy Star qualified new homes in various stages of planning and construction in Dutchess, Orange and Ulster Counties of New York.

 Through the effective use and placement of insulation, high performance windows, tighter construction, efficient duct systems and Energy Star products and appliances, Energy Star qualified homes exceed the requirements for new homes built to the building code and are typically 20 – 30% more energy efficient than standard new homes.  The house plans, construction and equipment are reviewed and certified through a third-party, independent Home Energy Rater.  As the owner of an Energy Star Qualified Home, you will have an energy star sticker on the electric box, which assures you that the home passed the rigorous inspections required and adds value to your home.  You also gain the added confidence in the quality of construction and in lower ownership costs from reduced utility bills and maintenance.

 For further details and information on Rieger Homes’ Energy Star qualified new homes, please visit our available homes at www.riegerhomes.com or contact our salesperson for a personal tour!
