“Frequently Asked Questions...”
- Why does ELRICH ENERGY SAVING HOMES use Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) to achieve optimum energy efficiency and energy savings?
ELRICH ENERGY SAVING HOMES only wants to build with the best! ICFs have withstood the test of time. They are proven to be the best exterior wall system in providing ultimate energy efficiency, energy savings, comfort, and safety for families.
- How much does it cost to build with ICFs?
An ICF home will cost between 3% and 5% more than building the exterior walls of a home with 2 x 6 frame construction. If the construction comparison is 2 x 4, the difference in expense would be higher and vary by house plan design. The increase in cost, however, is negligible over the life of the mortgage and the 50% to 75% savings begin from day one. - Which ICF manufacturer does ELRICH ENERGY SAVING HOMES use in construction?
ELRICH ENERGY SAVING HOMES only builds with the best ICFs among the more than 50 Manufacturers in the ICF industry. The ICF “wall system” selected by ELRICH ENERGY SAVING HOMES for each new home constructed must meet ALL three of the following criteria: 1) Superior Quality, 2) Superior Performance, and 3) Very Competitive Pricing. Because all manufactured ICFs are not equal in meeting all three of these criteria for selection, ELRICH ENERGY SAVING HOMES remains “ICF NEUTRAL” to best serve the homebuyer. - How easy is it to get financing?
