We Are Green

We take a proactive approach when it comes to environmental friendliness. We feel it’s important to do our part by providing you with a home that’s already a step ahead.

As a result, an Oasis home will be more comfortable, highly efficient, and more safe. It’s even more important when you realize the dollars saved by building a green home. The steps we take and products we install to meet our green standard might cost a bit more, but well worth it in the long run.

We do our best to provide as much energy saving systems as standard, and can assist you in bringing your home to an even greater level of efficiency if it interests you.

We create a building envelope with increased insulation, tightly-sealed ductwork, properly sized HVAC systems and air filtration prevention measures. Consequently, you get your green back every month in reduced utility bills.
