Whether you are looking to replace old appliances, remodel your home, or buy a new house, ENERGY STAR can help. More than 60 types of products, including appliances, televisions, computers, heating and cooling equipment, and even new homes can earn the government's ENERGY STAR label.

What makes Graystone "Green?"

Graystone Homes began building long-lasting, environmentally sustainable homes long before “green building” became popular. We have always cared about the land and the environment where we build because this is not only our place of business, it’s where we live. Our homes are proof that you don’t have to sacrifice beauty, comfort or function to be green.

Green building uses environmentally friendly products to build with (such as engineered floor joists, OSB sheathing) and energy efficient building practices. The materials we use are of the highest quality and not only meet the current energy rating requirements, but surpass them.

We have partnered with the Energy Star and Earthcraft House programs to provide our homeowners with certification documenting the energy efficiency of their homes.
