2. Xi Superior Walls (Standard)
Superior Walls insulated panels reduce air infiltration and air leaks and increase the effective R value, reducing variation in the ambient indoor air temperatures. This increases the HVAC effectiveness. The Xi wall, with R-12.5 exceeds the continuous requirement of R-10 by 24%. Superior Walls add zero on-site waste concrete. Superior Walls are manufactured in a factory environment in which production efficiencies utilize less input materials. (Cement, sand, stone, water and admixtures)

3. High Efficiency Gas Furnace (Standard) Comfort 92 (Option)
Carrier Comfort 92 Gas Furnace has an AFUE of 92.1%. Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) is like gas mileage. The higher the rating, the more efficient the system. With energy costs on the rise, a Carrier high-efficiency gas furnace can help lower your utility costs.

High Efficiency Air Conditioner (Standard) Comfort 13 (Option)
Carrier Comfort 13 Air Conditioner has a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) of 13 which delivers cool and energy efficient indoor comfort.

Programmable Thermostat (Option)
Using a programmable thermostat is one of the smartest and simplest ways to trim heating and cooling costs. You set it up to adjust the temperature when you are away from home or asleep-when you don't necessarily need optimum comfort-and your HVAC equipment runs less.

5. Merv 9 (Media) Air Filter (Option)
Whole-House Media Air Cleaners are up to 40 times more efficient than traditional 1" filters at removing airborne dust, pollen and other contaminants. Media air cleaners maintain high airflow in your heating and cooling system so it functions at full efficiency.

6. Whole House Bypass Humidifier (Option)
Bypass Humidifier uses less power by letting your furnace blower drive moisture vapor into your ducts. As the moisture from indoor air diminishes, the temperature in you home feels colder. In the winter that means you will probably turn up the thermostat to stay comfortable. As a result, your system will use extra energy. By putting moisture back into the air, a humidifier allows you to stay more comfortable at a lower heating temperature for lower energy use and greater operating efficiency.

7. Insulate HVAC Ducts And Trunks In Unconditioned Basements (Standard)
To prevent condensation on the outside of cold HVAC ducts located in unconditioned basements that can lead to moisture problems in those areas.
