Other homebuilders consider our features expensive upgrades. Products that save energy, reduce reliance on fossil fuels and /or decrease greenhouse gas emissions. We insist they come standard. When other builders say, "No way," Compass Pointe says, "No sweat!"
With these energy-efficient features, your energy bill is no sweat!
Builders traditionally use units with a SEER rating of 14. We’ve upgraded to 16 to give you a more efficient air conditioning unit.
The Lennox system is a Manufacture Matched comfort system utilizing R410A refrigerant (reduces carbon emissions). This system meets the EPA’s most stringent environmental guidelines.
Lennox has also been honored by Energy Star for the 4th year in a row. It is important to Compass Pointe that you keep cool and are confident in the integrity of the units we provide.
This Furnace has two stage-variable speed operation providing even temperatures and increased efficiency as well as enhanced humidity control.

Program this once, and you're done. Rather than paying to keep your house cool when no one is there, set your thermostat to automatically change to an energy-saving temperature during specific times of day or night. The humidity control keeps inside air dry diminishing A/C system run time. When used as directed, these programmable thermostats can save you big money on your annual heating and cooling costs.
TechShield is a radiant barrier made of renewable materials that most builders consider an expensive upgrade. With a Compass Pointe Home, they come standard. This product reflects heat off the roof and blocks up to 97% from entering a home's attic. This can decrease your heating and cooling costs by as much as twenty percent.
An innovative building material and the world's most popular structural panel, we use nothing but the best in building your new home - OSB Sheathing. Each Compass Pointe home is built with a strong, durable, ½ inch OSB board on its exterior with a water-sealing house wrap that allows moisture to get out, but does not allow air or moisture in. This adds tremendous strength to the home and more insulation.
This balanced ventilation system works year round with no moving parts or energy consumption. It allows outside air to flow naturally upward and out of the attic, prevents moisture from becoming trapped inside, and promotes a drier, cooler attic. James Hardie: HardieSoffit® creates superior attic ventilation. HardieSoffit® is part of the "Made for Living™ Exterior", HZ10™ product line, for James Hardie and it includes a 30 year non-prorated limited transferable warranty; 100% coverage at year 30. The HZ10™ product line ensures your dream home stays beautiful for decades. This product was engineered for areas with hurricane-force winds, salty sea air of the coast, and the brutal, humid heat of the Deep South.
Compass Pointe works diligently to seal all interior and exterior cracks to ensure that your dollars and cents aren't escaping.
DOW Poly-Seal prevents air leakage through holes, gaps and cracks is the single biggest cause of heating and cooling loss in a typical home. They're found around windows and doorframes, electrical outlets, plumbing lines, under siding and many other places. When you add them all up, it's about the same as having a four square foot opening, letting air leak out of the house- air that you're paying for. Sill Seal is placed between the bottom plate and the foundation to prevent air infiltration at the baseboards.
A higher R-value means greater insulating power. We use high-density R-38 insulation to ensure maximum energy savings. This insulation makes your house more comfortable by helping to maintain a uniform temperature throughout. It also makes walls, ceilings and floors cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
Compass Pointe Homes is pleased to announce the addition of ENERGY STAR Rated Vinyl Framed Windows as a standard feature to our "No Sweat Homes" package. Our Vinyl (lead-free PVC) windows are not only energy efficient they are also environmentally sensitive. Our Vinyl windows are 25% more efficient than aluminum windows and can save homeowners an average of 42% on their overall annual heating and cooling costs. The PVC is also recyclable which saves energy and reduces CO2 emissions, utilizing 20% less energy to produce than other plastics. Reclaimed glass from external and internal sources makes up 24-28% of the raw materials to produce the double-paned Low-E glass.
Even the smallest touches can make a big difference! Shading the sun's rays from entering a home's windows can save up to seventy percent in energy costs. To ensure maximum efficiency, we've replaced the one-inch aluminum mini-blind with stylish and effective two-inch faux wood blinds. These offer more resistance to sunlight and provide flexible shading.
