In a statement released March 26, 2012, Rieger Homes is proud to announce we are now offering the option of geothermal energy systems in all our new construction homes.  Please see the full press release below.

The Kent with Geothermal System at Stratford Farms

Newburgh, NY—Rieger Homes, Inc. is now offering the option of geothermal energy systems in all of its new construction homes, according to Steven & Ian Rieger, brothers and partners in the building company.  Rieger Homes Inc., based in Newburgh, NY, has been the builder of choice in the Mid-Hudson Valley for over 50 years, having built more than 6,000 homes spanning two generations of craftsmanship.  Rieger Homes has partnered with Geothermal Energy Options, LLC of LaGrangeville to offer this program.

Rieger Homes, long known for building energy-efficient, high performance homes, finds the move to geothermal to be a natural progression in improving its building standards to meet the growing concerns of the consumer to reduce costs and to be environmentally green.  Since 2003, Rieger Homes has participated in the ENERGY STAR program, a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy, created to help consumers save money and protect the environment through energy-efficient products and practices.

“The benefits of geothermal building to the homebuyer are substantial,” explains Steven Rieger,  “with considerable first-year tax savings, annual savings in heating and cooling costs and the satisfaction that comes with knowing you are easing your footprint on the environment.  Also, knowing that you are not dependent on gas or oil to heat your home gives you great peace of mind.”

The Economic Stimulus Act of 2009, which became law on February 17, 2009, contains long-term tax incentives to encourage the use of renewable energy technologies in homes and businesses, including geothermal systems that are “placed into service” between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2016.

“We are excited that our new home will include a geothermal system,” say Sandi Jensen and Frank Daniberg, recent buyers of a Rieger Home in Stratford Farms in the Town of Poughkeepsie. “Not only will we potentially save hundreds of dollars a year in heating and cooling costs, but we are doing our part to help the environment.”

According to Christopher Ryan, President of Geothermal Energy Options, geothermal energy is a renewable energy source generated by solar thermal radiation. As the sun’s rays bombard the earth’s surface, thermal energy is absorbed by the ground and stored approximately five feet below the Earth’s surface.  It is this energy source that is tapped by geothermal heat pumps to provide heating and cooling. This allows the efficient conversion of this temperature difference into heating or cooling for the home. It is cost effective, reliable, sustainable and environmentally friendly.

In addition to its commitment to quality building and customer satisfaction, this program brings Rieger Homes to the forefront of cutting edge technology in homebuilding.

Rieger Homes is represented by Serls New Homes, a full service marketing firm specializing in the sales of single-family, condominium and town home communities in the Hudson Valley.   For more information on geothermal building, contact Rieger Homes at (845) 561.1300 or visit www.riegerhomes.com or www.hudsonvalleygeo.com.

Staying on the cutting edge!  Progress continues on the home we are building with geothermal technology at Stratford Farms in the Town of Poughkeepsie.  The kitchen cabinets are in, the house is trimmed and we are ready to start the mechanical finishes.

The domestic hot water in this home is provided by a hybrid system installed to further save energy without sacrificing customer comfort. It consists of a holding tank that uses heat from the geothermal heat pump to heat the water to over 110 degrees. From there the water goes into an air-to-air heat pump hot water heater that brings the water up to the desired temperature. Both heat pump systems work in tandem, as needed, to keep utility bills as low as possible.

Geothermal is Green Building.  We are powering the heating and cooling systems without the use of traditional fuel oil or natural gas.  In simple terms, geothermal systems tap the stored energy in the earth to power the specially designed mechanical systems in the home. By starting with the heat energy stored in the ground, it takes less energy to heat or cool your home.   Less energy use equals lower energy bills.  Geothermal technology not only benefits our environment, it substantially reduces monthly energy bills and has major tax credits available to the home buyer.

Rieger Homes continually strives to include cutting edge energy saving technologies in our homes without sacrificing comfort, style or beauty.  We would like to thank Chris and the crew at Oil Free Energy Solutions LLC for making this a success!  Rieger Homes is your Dutchess County new home builder and Orange County new home builder of choice and have been a leading home builder in the Mid-Hudson Valley for over 50 years.  Contact us today about building the home of your dreams using the latest environmentally friendly and energy efficient technologies at Stratford Farms or another of Rieger Homes’ beautiful neighborhoods.

There are so many choices once you decide that it is time to buy a home – and this is definitely the time to buy.  Whether it is your first, second or third home, one of your big decisions is to build a new home or purchase a resale.  Rieger Homes believes that building or buying a new home is your best choice.  We have listed a few of the reasons.

NEW – Everything is new.  You don’t have to deal with a previous owner’s stained flooring, bad paint jobs and colors, old appliances, drafty windows & doors or old-style construction materials.  This will save time and money as you don’t have to redecorate or remodel as soon as you move in.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY – New homes are more energy efficient.  Rieger Homes, with our years of experience, has developed a High Performance Energy Efficient home by using new products and cutting edge technology and building practices to ensure that your new home stays comfortable during the heating and cooling seasons while keeping energy costs down.  The heating and cooling systems installed in new homes meet higher building and energy codes and have much better insulation and air sealing.  Also, the windows and doors are greatly improved.

CUSTOM DESIGNS AND SELECTIONS – When you build a home, you have the chance to customize your floor plan to fit your family’s specific needs and design preferences.  In addition, you have the opportunity to choose the style, color and/or material of your home, including the color of the exterior siding, the style and color of your kitchen and bath cabinets, countertop materials and colors, hardwood floors or carpet.  Building a new home can shorten that “honey do” list we all keep.

NEW HOME WARRANTY – Rieger Homes offers a 6-year warranty on our new homes.  In addition, many of the items installed in a new home are warranted by the manufacturer.  Tubs and showers, appliances, heating and cooling equipment are just a few of the specific items.

UPDATED DESIGNS AND FLOOR PLANS – Lets face it, home designs and space options have changed over the past few decades.  A home design that worked twenty or thirty years ago may not work for today’s family.  Rieger Homes continually updates our homes and develops new home styles in answer the changing needs of our customers.

Your choice of a home is not only the roof over your head, but one of the largest investments you may make.  Please take the time to look at all the long-term costs and benefits involved in your decision.  Rieger Homes is your Dutchess, Orange & Ulster County new home builder of choice.  We have been a leading home builder in the Mid-Hudson Valley for over 50 years.  A family owned company under its second generation of leadership, we are committed to building a successful relationship between our family of professionals and your family.  Our goal is to assist you and your family in building a new home of your dreams.  We would love to be your builder!  Please contact us or check out our wonderful neighborhoods, flexible floor plans and available homes. Happy home shopping!

At 2:00am on Sunday March 11, 2012 it is time to “spring forward” into daylight savings time, which was started to allow for more daylight in the evening hours.  Warmer weather and longer daylight encourages more playtime and activities.  This is also a perfect time to move forward on your new home! 

Now is a great time to solidify plans for your new home.  Interest rates are still low.  A new home built with energy saving technology can save on your future energy bills.    The ground will thaw early this year due to our warm winter.  The longer daylight hours can enable us to work later.  We invite you to look at our ourstanding neighborhoods and livable floor plans.
