As the temperatures drop during the winter months, many homeowners could be feeling the strain of higher energy costs, but at Riverside Homebuilders, we believe that your home should provide comfort, efficiency and savings—no matter the season. It’s for this reason that all of our new homes in the Greater Dallas-Fort Worth area are built with cutting-edge, energy-efficient features designed to lower your utility bills, enhance your overall comfort and contribute to a healthier environment. 

The power of spray foam insulation

One of the standout features you’ll get in a Riverside home is total encapsulated foam insulation, and unlike traditional insulation methods, spray foam creates a seamless barrier against air leaks and outdoor temperature fluctuations. This advanced insulation technique ensures that your home maintains a stable internal temperature, reducing the need for excessive heating in the winter or excessive cooling in the summer. As a result, our homeowners are able to experience substantial savings on their utility bills. 

Additionally, our foam encapsulation method protects ductwork and HVAC units from extreme attic temperatures—extending the lifespan of your heating and cooling systems. With energy costs rising and winter temperatures dipping lower than usual, having a home that efficiently retains heat can make all of the difference in both comfort and affordability. 

Air sealing for maximum efficiency

Beyond insulation, we take extra measures to ensure that your home stays comfortable and energy-efficient year-round by using advanced air sealing techniques—such as integrity gaskets, caulk, and poly seals—to create a strong barrier against any heat loss or drafts. Our homes are also fully sheeted, even behind the siding, adding an extra layer of insulation to improve the overall efficiency. By reducing unwanted air leaks and maintaining consistent indoor temperatures, our construction methods help lower your energy costs while keeping your home cozy during every season.

Smart technology and high-efficiency HVAC systems

Every Riverside home includes a programmable smart thermostat, allowing our homeowners to easily adjust and maintain their ideal indoor temperature. These thermostats optimize heating and cooling efficiency, reducing any energy waste and helping to lower your utility costs. 

Since heating and cooling account for a significant portion of your energy use in your home, we also install 14- to 16-SEER heat pumps that are designed for superior performance. These systems provide better humidity control, more consistent temperatures and increased efficiency.
