E2 Smart Homes with Your Next Celebrity Home



Watch on your mobile device >>

Are you considering a new home but want it to be both affordable and environmentally friendly? Celebrity Homes has E2 homes that are built just with that purpose in mind!

High Efficiency Furnace & AC

In each new Celebrity Homes home, there is a new high efficiency furnace and a high efficiency air conditioning unit. These units are 90% efficient. That means that 90% of the air leaving the unit is either hot or cold. Not only is this better for the environment, it’s also much better for your pocketbook, as well. This can and will go a long way in a very short period of time.

Energy Efficiency Taken to the Next Level

Celebrity Homes has taken it one step further and not let ourselves just be satisfied with an energy efficient AC and heating unit. We have also included “flex pipes” that run to our units. These are also much more energy efficient because you are not having as much air loss through the units and the pipes leading away from the units.

Energy Efficient Hot Water Heater

In addition to the energy efficient AC and heating unit, each Celebrity Homes home is also equipped with an energy efficient hot water heater, as well. This can go a long way in making a home as energy efficient as possible. It’s also overlooked in many other “energy efficient” homes.

Program Your Efficiency with a Programmable Thermostat

Do you really need to heat your home in the winter when no one is home? Why not set a program that knocks the temperature down when no one really needs it warm anyway? You can program it to warm the home back up a short time before you get home. This one simple device can go a long way to save both the environment and your pocketbook!

High Ceilings & Open Floor Plans – Not Just an Aesthetic Feature

We like the high 9 foot ceilings in our Celebrity Homes. But we have two reasons: they look stunning and they also allow us to put in more insulation to keep your home warm.

In addition, a more open floor plan also makes it easier for heating and cooling. Heating one large space is much easier for a heating unit than heating several small rooms. When you walk into a Celebrity Homes home and notice the beautiful open floor plan, just know they are there by design for energy efficient purposes as well.

Protecting the environment and saving your pocketbook money is important to Celebrity Homes. We have taken as many measures as possible to keep our homes as energy efficient as possible. We know that things like an energy efficient furnace and AC unit are important. But we also know smaller, more subtle steps like a programmable thermostat and an open floor plan can also go a long way in ultimately saving you money.

5 Ways Celebrity Homes Brings You Affordability and Style



Watch on your mobile device >>

We know you want affordability and a sense of style in your new home. But do you think those two go together? At Celebrity Homes, we want to make your home as affordable and full of style as possible.

Want to know 5 ways we do that?

For starters, a Celebrity Home is not your average home. We build above and beyond what our buyers expect. We start with:

More cabinets: We know there is an ever-growing need for storage space in the modern home. We accommodate this with more cabinet room than most homes. This gives your home a much cleaner, organized look.

Large pantries: Looking for a place to store food? We’ve got it with our larger pantries. We know that food prices are rising and a lot of families really stock up when they find a good bargain. This means the food pantry needs to be larger than ever. We design our homes with this mind and give you an extra large pantry to store whatever you need in it.

Drop zones off the garages: The drop zone is a “mud room” that is a useful addition between the indoors and outdoors to establish a clear boundary between the two. This helps keep the house clean and keep animals out. This is usually the primary entrance of the home and is rather informal in nature. It’s typically accessed from a side door or a back door.

Extended garages: Who says you just store cars in garages? Workbenches, bicycles, toys, the list is really endless of all that needs to be stored in the twenty-first century garage. Gone are the days when a garage was simply a place to park a car. Now they are a multi-purpose storage unit. We build them with that very fact in mind.

Nine foot ceilings in the basement: Have you ever been in a basement and felt as if you might bump your head on low ceilings? Not in a Celebrity Homes home! We build our homes with basements that have 9 foot ceilings. We know the only thing worse than being in a basement is feeling like you’re in one, so we’ve taken that element out. We want our basement rooms to feel like any other room of the house.

Stop by any of our Celebrity Homes model locations and talk with a sales representative about what features will best suit your unique needs.

Celebrity Homes can meet your home buying needs. We have a number of floor plans and other benefits we can provide. Stop by one of our model homes and speak with a sales representative to see what we have that you need. We feel confident you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for as you look at our home plans. We specialize in building homes with the buyer in mind.
