Energy Efficiency

Exterior Wall Insulation 

Butler Homes uses spray foam insulation in all exterior walls as standard.

The acceptable standard for attic insulation in Oklahoma is R-32. We only install a minimum of R - 38 in every home. This translates to not only substantial costs savings to you, but provides a more comfortable home and environment for your family.

95% + efficiency rating on our HVAC. When it comes to efficiency of heat insulation R6 ducting is less efficient than R8 ducting. R8 reduces energy loss by approximately 2 percent, which is equivalent to consuming less energy by 3 percent.

All exterior penetrations are foam sealed by an expert technician, even the small low voltage wire for your doorbell gets sealed off from the outside elements!

Low E and Argon glass in all windows

Low E glass in your exterior doors

Low-E windows, or Low-Emissivity windows, are windows with a microscopic, non-toxic, and virtually colorless coating that makes them more thermally efficient:

 
How it works: The coating reflects ultraviolet (UV) and infrared light away from the window, reducing radiant heat emissions. This helps keep homes warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
