Our Favorite Color Is Green

In all our new developments, we are striving to leave the lightest footprint possible.  Our company is part of a team that worked to successfully establish Green Build Guidelines in Montana.  That’s why in a Jeff Junkert Construction home, you’ll find ENERGY STAR rated appliances and low-flow fixtures.  We pledge to use man-made products that are more forest friendly.  And, we’ll recycle the construction waste whenever possible.  The result is a tighter, more energy efficient home built with an eye on the environment. It’s a new philosophy in the industry that makes everyone feel good about the building process.

Here’s a look at just some of the features that are either standard or could be added to your home to make it run more efficiently:

• 90% efficient furnace
• Water saving appliances
• Energy efficient appliances & lighting
• Low maintenance products
• Low flow water fixtures
• ENERGY STAR Certification
• Renewable, recycled & sustainable products
• No or Low Volatile Organic Compounds in paints and solvents

Why should we care about making our homes green?  These features can equal more “green” in your pocket from energy savings in the long run.  Just take a look at these facts.

ENERGY STAR homes are up to 30% more efficient than standard new construction built to state code.  This makes ENERGY STAR qualified homes some of the most energy efficient homes available.

Energy efficient homes use less energy which will only deliver savings on utility bills for years to come.

One ENERGY STAR rated home can keep 2,070 pounds of greenhouse gasses out of the air each year.  That’s equivalent to not driving 2,244 miles or planting 200 trees.

Enjoy a home with even temperatures throughout the year. Tightly-sealed ductwork, high-performance windows and properly installed insulation make your home more comfortable and energy efficient.
