Does my home need to be Certified?
At Trigon Homes, we customize each home to give you the perfect fit. This could mean building you a fully certified Energy Star and EarthCraft House designed home. We'll go over the processes up front in the planning process, and you'll help choose the features that make your home certified.

If building a certified home is not your goal, we already incorporate many energy-mindful options as standard features in our quality construction, such as the Energy Star appliances. Other options, such as Low-E windows, programmable thermostats, and more, are upgrades you may select without actually certifying your new home.
