  • Save Money on Your Heating and Cooling with Emme

    There are many factors that go into building an energy-efficient home, and one of the most important decisions is the choice of heating and cooling equipment. Programmable thermostats, controllable ducts and other innovations have revolutionized climate control.  In particular, the use of zone-controlled systems, like those manufactured by Emme, can save you up to 40% on your heating and cooling costs.

    Emme systems use a state-of-the-art control module and a series of controllable ducts that allow the homeowner to individually adjust the temperature in every room of the house. Not only does this ability keep you and your family comfortable all of the time, but it also allows you to ignore rooms where there is no activity. You can even pre-program the settings, so that the home is always the way you like it.
