Built For Living.....Built For Life!

Ferris Homes

We are proud to offer new homes that have earned the ENERGY STAR® label. ENERGY STAR qualified new homes are substantially more energy efficient than homes built to the minimum code requirements.

Our ENERGY STAR qualified new homes are independently verified by a third-party Home Energy Rater to ensure they meet ENERGY STAR energy efficiency guidelines. These homes are better for the environment and better for you.

Benefits of owning one of our ENERGY STAR qualified new homes include:

A Label Backed by the Government

All ENERGY STAR qualified new homes are certified to meet EPA's strict guidelines for energy efficiency. This exemplary performance is verified by an independent third party.

Lower Utility Costs

Compared with standard homes, ENERGY STAR qualified new homes use substantially less energy for heating, cooling, and hot water heating. Homeowners can expect to save about $200–$400 annually on their utility bills.

More Comfortable/Quieter Homes

The energy-efficient features of ENERGY STAR qualified new homes keep out excessive heat, cold, and noise, and ensure consistent temperatures between and across rooms-making these homes more comfortable to live in.

Helping to Create a Better Future

By purchasing an ENERGY STAR qualified new home, you are joining millions of consumers who have changed to ENERGY STAR, helping our nation reduce our energy needs and building a cleaner environment for the future.

Features of our ENERGY STAR qualified new homes include:

  • Effective Insulation — Properly installed insulation that meets or exceeds national code requirements helps achieve even temperatures throughout the house while using less energy. The result is lower utility costs and a quieter, more comfortable home.
  • High-Performance Windows — Advanced window coatings help keep heat in during winter and out during summer. They also block damaging ultraviolet sunlight that can discolor carpets and furniture.
  • Tight Construction and Tight Ducts — Attention to detail by sealing all holes, cracks, and seams in ducts and construction assemblies helps eliminate drafts, moisture, dust, pests, and pollen. This improves comfort and the quality of indoor air, while lowering maintenance costs.
  • Energy-Efficient Heating and Cooling Equipment — More efficient and properly sized heating and cooling systems use less energy, which reduces utility bills. These systems also turn on and off less frequently, removing more humidity and providing better comfort.

Their's

Not all homes are  Energy Star® Rated. The true cost of a house is what it costs you to own and operate it every month, not just its "sticker" price. Without an Energy Star® Rating  you cannot save thousands of dollars on your monthly utility bills over the life of your loan. 

You Don't Receive The Lower Maintenance Cost

The features typically found in an Energy Star® Home not only make it more energy-efficient, but usually carry increased warranty coverage - possibly eliminating some repair costs.  Without this rating, you do  not benefit.

Special Mortgage Options

Without an Energy Star® Rated home, you will not be able to take advantage from some lenders who offer special Energy Star® Mortgages to buyers of Energy Star® Homes.  Since owners of Energy Star® homes will spend less money on utility bills, Energy Star® lenders qualify these buyers for larger loans.  These lenders may also offer other incentives to buyers, such as lower interest rates or closing cost reductions with this Energy Star® Rating.

 


Our New Manufactured Homes Are Safer & More Energy Efficient
 Than Older Pre-HUD Mobile Homes



 
Ferris Homes selects state of the art construction for our homes to keep your family safe, secure and comfortable.   Older pre-HUD homes are not constructed like the manufactured homes of today.  

Check out the electrical wiring in pre-HUD mobile homes from 1959 to 1976. In most cases aluminum wire was used which has been the cause of mobile home fires. Other significant causes of fires in pre-1976 mobile homes are heating and cooking equipment.

Today’s manufactured home has electrical systems according to National Code, including copper wiring, common residential components, and other outlets placed per code.  

Smoke alarms in pre-HUD mobile homes were dangerous because they are not hard wired. They are battery operated only.  New homes are per today's codes.  Since interior walls in pre-HUD mobile homes do not have wall linings, walls have a tendency to catch fire, promoting more rapid flames.  An average pre-HUD home burns down in less than five minutes. New homes have a ½” drywall on interior walls, adding fire safety and life-long maintainability.

Wood paneled interior walls in pre-HUD mobile homes can be a fire hazard and is often the cause for rapid burning older homes.  Our new manufactured homes have standard high-strength ½” drywall.
