SIPs homeowners typically see 30-50% lower heating and cooling costs compared to conventionally built homes in Vance. The continuous insulation envelope (R-23 to R-40+) with zero thermal bridging means your HVAC system works less to maintain temperature. Many SIPs homes can downsize their HVAC system entirely.
In stick-built homes, every wood stud conducts heat directly through the wall — that's thermal bridging. A 2x4 wall advertised as R-13 actually performs closer to R-9 when you account for the studs. Our SIPs walls have continuous insulation with no studs penetrating the envelope, so the rated R-value is the actual R-value.
Yes. Every home is blower door tested to verify the airtightness of the building envelope. SIPs construction consistently achieves air changes per hour (ACH) well below code requirements. This isn't just about energy — a tight envelope also means better indoor air quality and fewer moisture problems.
SIPs homes typically exceed the energy efficiency thresholds required for federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act, including the 45L new energy efficient home credit. We recommend consulting your tax advisor for eligibility specific to your Vance build.
