Siteline Construction specializes in building and renovating Florida homes to balance energy efficiency with the region's architectural charm. Whether you’re building your dream home or renovating an existing Florida original, here's the top 5 things to consider for upgrading your home’s energy efficiency.

LED Lighting: Transitioning to LED lighting conserves energy, with LEDs using at least 75% less energy and lasting much longer than traditional bulbs.
Solar Panels: With abundant sunshine, solar panels offer significant energy bill reductions. They’re an excellent investment, leveraging renewable energy for your home’s power needs.
Improved Insulation: Enhancing attic and wall insulation improves energy efficiency by maintaining indoor temperatures, crucial for Florida’s summers.
Energy-Efficient Windows: Installing low-E, impact-resistant windows reduces heat transfer and protects against storms, keeping your home cooler with less AC use.
High-Efficiency HVAC Systems: A crucial upgrade in Florida’s climate is a high-SEER HVAC system. It reduces energy consumption and increases comfort, a must-have for the humid Florida weather.
