At American Heritage Homes, we believe that smart building practices not only create better homes—they also help protect our planet. As we celebrate Earth Week, we’re proud to highlight how our team builds with energy efficiency, durability, and sustainability in mind.  From the way our homes are constructed to the options you can choose during the design phase, here’s how we’re making a difference in Ohio—one custom home at a time.

Stick-Built with Purpose

Our custom homes are stick built on site, meaning each structure is constructed piece by piece, right on your lot. This method reduces material waste, allows for precise craftsmanship, and ensures tighter control over energy performance. Compared to modular or pre-fab methods, stick-building is not only more flexible—it’s more mindful of resources, too.

Built-In Efficiency Comes Standard

At American Heritage Homes, you don’t have to upgrade to build green. Many energy-efficient features come standard in every Designer Collection home we build, including:

•  Andersen Low-E Windows to regulate temperature and block harmful UV rays
• Enhanced Insulation Packages that minimize air leakage and reduce energy waste
• Lennox High-Efficiency HVAC Systems designed for comfort and performance
• Programmable Thermostats that give you control over your energy use, even when you’re away
• Sherwin Williams Low-VOC interior finishes for healthier indoor air quality

These built-in features are part of our commitment to building homes that are both energy-conscious and cost-effective—right from the start.  For homeowners who want to take their sustainability efforts even further, we offer a variety of optional upgrades during the design phase, including our Hybrid Wall System. 

Built to Last

Sustainability isn’t just about energy use—it’s about building homes that stand the test of time. We use quality materials and proven construction techniques that reduce the need for future repairs or replacements, conserving resources and giving homeowners peace of mind.

This Earth Week, we’re proud to continue building homes that are not only beautiful and functional—but mindful of the planet too! Whether you’re in the early stages of planning or already envisioning your dream home, we’re here to help you create a home that’s efficient, durable, and designed for generations to come.  Contact Us Today!
