A Healthy Home System is an Energy Efficient Home
The Energy Star program, operated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Department of Energy, promotes energy efficiency practices saving consumers money while working to protect our environment. The Energy Star program promotes Mechanical Ventilation to support better air quality, more control of the climate, and improve comfort in the home. Read more from Energy Star here.
Michigan Valley Homes has been building airtight mechanically ventilated homes for over 30 years – long before it was fashionable.
As a pioneer in the energy efficiency sector, our legacy and reputation is centered around building you the most healthy home one can have…enter, the “Health Home System”.
Building a healthy home means breath-ability. Offering the proper balance of airflow into and out of the home. The truly healthy energy efficient home requires a high level of insulation, air tightness, thermal break controlled ventilation and a competent building contractor who will design this house as a system and build it with expert craftsmanship at the right price.
