Did you know that poor air quality is a major contributor to asthma, allergies, and other respiratory problems? That's why, at Artistic Homes, our goal is to build not only the most livable, energy efficient home possible, but also the healthiest home we can. Is it important? We think so, and so does the American Lung Association of New Mexico. That's why they've recognized Artistic Homes for indoor quality!

| Air Tight Construction |
Did you know that most traditionally built homes leak through hundreds of unseen locations throughout the house? This results in high heating and cooling bills, dust, dirt, and pollution.
At Artistic Homes, we are making air leaks a thing of the past by building better right from the start. We begin by sealing the "sill plate", where the foundation meets the wood framing. Then, we seal all the places were leakage could occur. In places such as electrical wiring holes, exhaust and fresh air ducts, plumbing holes, and heating, cooling, and jumper ducts.
Because we build our homes airtight, heating and cooling are more efficient and easer to control, this means the costs of operation are reduced. We even test our heating and cooling ductwork to ensure there are virtually no leaks. |
| Refrigerated Air Conditioning |
Every home we build we install refrigerated air conditioning. Its much healthier than swamp cooling. It eliminates humidity buildup, and filters out pollen, dust, dirt and smoke. Also, it operates on what's called a "closed system." This means your summer cooling works just like your winter heating, utilizing recirculated air, plus a little fresh air, to make and keep your home comfortable no matter what it's like outside. |
| Ventilation and Filtration |
Your new home is designed with adequate ventilation that moves fresh filtered air in and forces stale air out. This helps the home to "breathe." This has a lot to do with how comfortable the inside of your home feels. We make sure your home is adequately ventilated with features such as: kitchen cooking surface venting, bathroom ventilation, fresh air ducting, and laundry ventilation.
Your new home is equipped with a filtration system which is 15 times more efficient at removing small micro particles from the air than traditional filtration systems. This system connects directly to the home's duct network. |
