Energy Efficiency

The EPA has just recently named Winton/Flair homes as an Energy Star National Award Winner for the fifth straight year, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. We are proud to be the first 5 consecutive year award winner within the award program history. Here we have our President Herschel Stringfield and Vice President Mark Dyer receiving the EPA award at Washington, DC.

Earning this award is no small feat.  ALL THE HOMES BUILT BY WINTON/FLAIR, and all of our sister divisions, ACCENT HOMES, SADDLEBLANKET BRANDED HOMES, WINTON CUSTOM HOMES , and WINTON & ASSOCIATES HOMES are all ENERGY STAR CERTIFIED HOMES. Each of our homes comes with the ENERGY STAR plaque, a certificate to the home owner, and the lowest energy costs to our customers because ENERGY STAR  is a committment of ours to the environment and to our customers.

Winton/Flair Homes is dedicated to building the most energy efficient homes possible with all the known procedures, technology, and inspection techniques known to the home building industry. Uppermost in making this commitment an EPA Realty, is the strict adherence to the products and procedures set forth in the ENERGY STAR CERTIFICATION program. Every home built under the Winton banner comes with ENERGY STAR CERTIFICATION documents provided by an EPA approved inspector, and, the small brass plaque at the front door that this home is "ENERGY STAR CERTIFIED."

The Texas Vet program now requires that any new home financed with a Texas Vet mortgage must be ENERGY STAR CERTIFIED.

How long will it be before the Veterans Administration requires that the ENERGY STAR CERTIFICATION be a requirement for all VA financed homes?

And then-how long will it be before Fannie Mae and other government backed loan programs require ENERGY STAR CERTIFICATION on all their mortgages.

It is possible that one day non-ENERGY STAR CERTIFIED HOMES may become obsolete or unable to be secured by government backed loans.

For more information on what it means to be ENERGY STAR CERTIFIED, we encourage you to visit the ENERGY STAR website by clicking on the Energy Star logo.

We are so confident that our committment to ENERGY STAR will save you money in a very visible way through lower energy bills, that we offer our exclusive low energy cost Heating and Cooling Guarantee on every home that Winton/Flair, ACCENT Homes, Saddleblanket Branded Homes, Winton & Associates Homes, and Winton Custom Homes builds.
