The Experience™ Card

American’s are suffering from the most dramatic economic setback in over 100 years. No matter where one lives or what one does budgets are being stretched like never before. As a result most everyone is changing their lifestyle to embrace smarter living, smarter shopping and smarter saving. Those households that have been impacted by unemployment now more than ever need some help to manage through these difficult times.

We’re not a part of the “Hole in the Wall Gang”

Volumes have been written about how to make the exterior walls of a house work better in order to prevent heat loss or gain. One can start by making the walls thicker, you can add more insulation, apply weather-wrap and use caulking and more caulking as ways to reduce air infiltration. Then after all that hard work is done a crazy thing happens. The electricians put deep holes in that wall to accommodate electrical switch boxes. That sounds counterproductive doesn’t it? We thought so too.

AmeriSus Celebrates Earth Day

Every week the news has the same story. The cost of all the things you really don’t want but must pay for keep going up. Things like health care, insurance, utilities, taxes and transportation just to name a few. At the same time many of the things you did in the past have simply been squeezed out of the household budget. Perhaps you are saving less while working more. Sounds like a real rat race doesn’t it? Wasn’t life supposed to get better? We think it can by starting with an AmeriSus Liberty Eco-Home. Pictured above is our Madison model, one of six sensational new homes in the Liberty series.

Don’t Get Stuck with a Mis-Match of Pieces?

The team at AmeriSus has worked hard to ensure that all the pieces that go into one of our homes have a purpose beyond being “good-enough” and “economical” – after all a home is the most expensive thing most people buy and it should be able to be just as fine 20 years after it was built as it was the day it received its certificate of occupancy. That’s why so much care has gone into design and engineering followed by selecting the right companies as suppliers for all the materials, systems, products and finishes that go into each home. That’s why so many of the products come with a lifetime warranty. That’s because they are designed to be better.

Sustainable Insulation

AmeriSus homes use SIP’s for their exterior walls but still use insulation elsewhere such as in the attic and below the flooring in crawl spaces. We found that everyone treated insulation as a commodity where R-values and thickness were the primary consideration. Everyone that is until we came upon the creative minds at Knauf Insulation and their sustainable EcoBatt Glasswool Insulation. Their insulation does everything other companies products do except that it doesn’t use petroleum based chemicals. Knauf’s insulation is made from sand and post-consumer recycled bottle glass.

Ready Build System

When today’s top companies want to build a high tech product they put in place a production process that is so optimally designed that the process controls what happens. Part A gets prepared for part B. Part C gets inserted into C. You’ve seen it on TV. Each step is defined. Each piece is precise. In the end whatever is being assembled pops out exactly as planned time after time again and again. The process eliminates labor and material waste and insures consistent quality.

Out with the Old in with the New

A part of the way that AmeriSus reduces the actual cost of homes built via its Ready Build™ system is by looking at traditional ways of home construction and asking, “Why do they do it that way?”

We took a hard look at ceramic tile and determined there must be a better approach if one were looking to achieve affordability, flexibility and durability.

So here’s the skinny on how we handle tile. The short answer is that we don’t. The long answer is that we feel better about it, and here’s why.
