The hot renovation trend is FUNCTIONALITY. Priorities have changed and homeowners shifted from eye candy to practicality. Renos include home gyms and outdoor spaces. @dalerott, business development with our team, is in the @edmontonjounal to explain: bit.ly/3nLCA1I

Proud to represent Effect Home Builders Ltd. in this article featured in today's Edmonton Journal which talks about Net Zero energy homes and the importance of officially labelling them with @chbanetzerohome Net Zero program.edmontonjournal.com/life/hom…
Proud to have represented @effecthomes at the virtual @chbanetzerohome Fall meetings . Biggest takeaway is from a breakout session showing how solar panel price reductions are making Net Zero homes the best way to save on utilities, use less energy, and reduce carbon emissions

Our award collection is growing ✨
The @BILDAlberta Energy Efficiency Award is the latest to join our accolades. Thanks Scott Fash, #BILDAB Executive Director, for presenting us with this beauty! We’re humbled and proud of our team who continues to create superior, green homes.
The presence of Radon can be anywhere. Effect Home Builders @effecthomes carefully installs a Radon barrier in every new home and ensures there's a ventilation pipe if Radon present Using a Heat Recovery Ventilator can also help keep marginal Radon levels to a safe level.
When it comes to the air you breathe do not take chances. You should be testing for radon—which is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers—mold and VOCs.

Here's an article from an interview I did in the spring, representing @effecthomes. Along with Sonja Winkelman @NZEhomes we discuss the benefits of Net Zero homes for homeowners and the realty market.

It's always the case that you get what you pay for. Value trumps cost everytime. In the long run, the higher cost for quality ends up costing much less. At @effecthomes we always advise using quality products. It protects our clients and reduces waste.
In my experience, consumers are cost-conscious but not value conscious. They go into a dream renovation with a tight budget and expect--or hope blindly-to have it all. New technology and products cost more than conventional products, but they last longer, and save you money.
A heat recovery ventilator is so important for maintaining a healthy indoor environment. @effecthomes installs an HRV in every home it builds for the health of both our clients and their home.
An HRV has a big impact on the indoor air quality and health of an airtight home. These units exchange indoor air with fresh outdoor air, and as the indoor air goes out it pre-heats the fresh air coming in. DON'T turn it off! #TipTuesday

Our team at @effecthomes have helped many clients with installation of solar systems on both new homes and renovations. Take advantage of the rebates while they're still there.
The City of Edmonton still offers rebates on residential solar installations. There's still time to take advantage of this program!
I see this as an unfortunate byproduct of people wanting bigger, not better. Too many people are focused on getting as much "bling" as their budget can manage and will happily forgo the most important parts of the home, efficient building envelope and well designed HVAC system.
Excellent article describing how housing priorities are changing to focus more on health. Great photos of one of our @effecthomes recently completed homes
Healthy homes are more important than ever! Smart design, touchless technologies and material choices all contribute to healthier spaces. Healthy home article in Edmonton Journal and Calgary Herald reference our homes. Together we can live better!
