At Klomp Custom Homes, we are Re-engineering the
American Home to save our owners thousands of
dollars in utility bills, while providing some of
the best-built and healthiest homes in America. Our
industry has morphed into rows of cheaply built
boxes that are more about profit for Wall Street
than an investment for the owner or a thing of
beauty. As energy costs continue to soar, the world
becomes more sensitive to our planet's dwindling
resources, and we learn about the health impacts of
the homes in which we live.
We don't just meet the most stringent standards set
by the US Government, we greatly exceed them. This
will save our customers THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS in
utility bills over the life of their home
Adding "Low-E" (low emissivity) coatings to all
windows in the country would save the equivalent of
a half million barrels of oil per day. Or one third
of all the oil we import from the Persian Gulf.
