| "One of the reasons we purchased a Pierce
home was due to the low "guaranteed" monthly cooling and heating cost plus the
fact the home has a more healthy and clean environment. My wife and son have severe
allergy problems which improves dramatically when they are in the home because it is much
easier for them to breathe. The heating and cooling cost savings is a good economic
investment and it is impossible to place a value on the health benefits we are all
enjoying, especially my wife and son. I have know the Pierce Companies for over twenty
years and they have always been a leader in building energy efficient homes. They have now
added features that create a more healthy and clean environment.
I would encourage anyone that is considering purchasing a home to get all the facts
from Pierce regarding the superior energy efficient package plus how the home is
constructed so it will enjoy a healthy and clean environment for many years to come."

Mr. Pierce
The energy efficient and healthy home environment features incorporated into our Lakewood
Homes by Pierce has surpassed our expectations. One thing we have noticed is how clean and
dust free the home is. With the strong North Texas winds, we would not have expected this
to be the case. We attribute this to the care taken to properly seal the air duct system
during construction, the outside air intake system that brings fresh air into the home,
the numerous third party inspections during construction to insure proper implementation
of energy efficiency and healthy home environment construction features, and the
pressurized test of the entire home when it was completed which provides a computerized
print out of how energy efficient the home is. We moved in last spring and were very
happy with how comfortable the entire home was, especially during the heat of the summer.
We were also pleasantly surprised with the relatively low energy cost for a home this size
given the intense Texas heat. You build a great home and stand by your product.
Thank you for what I hope will be our home for many years.
Sincerely
Angie and Greg Garrett
"As an employee of Pierce Homes, I had the opportunity to design our home
with specific energy efficient features 17 years ago. We are still pleased with the
performance of our home from both an energy conservation viewpoint as well as providing a
healthy home environment. Over the years, our heating and cooling costs have been
consistently low compared with homes of similar size.
The various energy features incorporated into our home 17 years ago have been
vastly improved, in both materials and the way they are applied. However more important
than materials and workmanship, is the system engineering approach being applied to all
current Pierce EFL homes, resulting in the proper balance of heating and air-conditioning
capacity consistent with the climatic zone for Dallas. Pierce Homes is so convinced
of the integrity of this process that we offer our EFL home buyers a written guarantee of
heating and cooling costs and the comfort level of their new Pierce EFL home. Click here to view some examples of guaranteed numbers for actual
Pierce EFL homes.
One of my responsibilites at Pierce Homes is to maintain a current awareness of
new technology and its application to energy efficient residential construction while
maintaining healthy indoor air quality. We constantly strive to incorporate
new field proven concepts into the design of all Pierce homes. In this way, we
maintain our leadership position in energy efficient construction practices, thus assuring
Pierce homeowners their new home will exceed all state and national requirements for
energy efficiency. I would be pleased to discuss our program with you and can be
