July 16, 2025

Summer is here, the heat is on... but that doesn't mean your new home can't stay cool and energy efficient. At Beracah Homes, energy efficiency is built into every home, starting with the very first steps of construction.

Built-In Efficiency from the Start

Every Beracah Home comes standard with superior energy-saving features:

  • 2x6 Exterior Walls: Thicker walls mean more insulation and greater energy savings, keeping your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

  • Energy-Efficient      Windows: High-quality windows reduce heat transfer, ensuring your      interiors stay comfortable even as temperatures soar.

  • Blown-In Loose Fill Insulation: Packed densely into interior wall cavities, this insulation provides superior coverage and performance, sealing your home's thermal envelope effectively.

  • Barrier Gap Sealing: Attention to detail is everything—Beracah seals gaps around all barrier penetrations, minimizing air leaks and enhancing overall energy efficiency.

  • Conditioned Crawl Spaces: By maintaining a conditioned environment beneath your home, Beracah Homes ensures consistent indoor comfort and reduces humidity, further improving air quality and energy savings.

Customizing for Maximum Efficiency

When building your custom Beracah Home, you have the flexibility to further enhance efficiency, aligning perfectly with your budget, style, and personal comfort preferences. Consider these popular upgrades:

  • Triple-Pane Windows: Offering exceptional insulation, these windows can drastically reduce your home's cooling and heating demands.

  • Closed-Cell Spray Foam Insulation: Particularly beneficial in areas like attics and rooflines, spray foam provides unparalleled thermal resistance and air sealing capabilities.

  • Enhanced Air Sealing Packages: Opt for an upgraded sealing package that further reduces air infiltration, enhancing indoor air quality and efficiency.
