When you build a Stitt Home, you don’t get a typical house, you will get a safe place to live and raise your family in beauty and comfort. Let’s discover how big the difference is:
Your home’s energy envelope separates and protects you from the elements outside. It includes the ICF foundation, walls, roof, windows, insulation and air sealing — everything that helps keep your family safe and your home comfortable year-round. Because the envelope of your home is critical to how much energy it takes to warm and cool your home, we test it twice and guarantee its performance.

When it comes to building an energy-efficient home, performance verification is essential. That’s why we use industry-standard testing to ensure your home delivers real energy savings and lasting comfort.
To objectively compare the energy performance of new and existing homes, the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET) developed the Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index. A standard new home built to the 2004 International Energy Conservation Code scores 100 on the HERS Index. A net-zero energy home—which produces as much energy as it consumes—scores 0 or below.
Proven Results from Stitt Homes
Explore three real Stitt Homes and their verified HERS scores to see how smart design and tested performance translate into real energy savings.
We proudly offer a Residential Energy Guarantee which ensures your home’s energy usage will not exceed a predetermined Annual Energy Guarantee Level (AEGL). If your actual energy consumption goes over this threshold within a 12-month period, you may be eligible for reimbursement—up to a defined maximum—based on your utility costs. This guarantee encourages long-term energy efficiency and peace of mind, provided homeowners maintain their systems as outlined in the terms. The guarantee is transferable to future homeowners and supports homes built to high energy-performance standards.
At the end of our design and construction journey, one thing is clear—living in a Stitt Home means year-round comfort, lower utility costs, and healthier indoor air quality.
On hot summer days, your home stays naturally cool without constantly running the air conditioner. During winter, it remains comfortably warm without overusing the heater. This smart energy efficiency translates into significantly lower energy bills while maintaining a consistent indoor temperature year-round.
Thanks to advanced insulation, air sealing, and moisture control, your home provides cleaner, healthier air—reducing allergens and supporting better respiratory health. And because we build with durability in mind—using high-quality materials and time-tested construction techniques—your Stitt Home is designed to resist moisture and stand strong for generations, resulting in significantly lower maintenance costs over time
Beyond energy efficiency and durability, Stitt Homes are built with climate resilience in mind. From high winds and heavy storms to wildfires and flooding, your home is thoughtfully engineered to help withstand the growing challenges of extreme weather—giving you even greater peace of mind in a changing climate.
When you choose a Stitt Home, you’re investing in comfort, energy savings, and long-term peace of mind.
