Why New Construction Homes Are Healthier
You work hard to keep yourself and your family healthy — from exercising regularly to choosing better foods. But have you ever thought about the health of your home itself? Older resale homes often come with issues like poor indoor air quality, lingering chemicals, outdated materials, and inefficient systems. That’s why more buyers are turning to new construction homes for a cleaner, healthier place to live.
Ernest Homes has been building brand-new homes across Coastal Georgia for over 30 years, with a commitment to creating healthy, energy-efficient homes designed for modern families. Here’s why new construction homes are healthier than resale homes.
Better Indoor Air Quality
Your home’s ventilation plays a major role in your health. Poor airflow in older homes allows pollutants — like mold, mildew, dust, and VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) — to build up. VOCs are chemicals released from materials like old paint, carpet, adhesives, and flooring.
New construction homes are built using modern, low-VOC or zero-VOC materials that significantly improve indoor air quality. Fresh air comes in, contaminated air goes out, and your family breathes easier every day.
New, Energy-Efficient Features & Systems
Older homes often need costly renovations and system replacements. New construction homes include:
- Brand-new HVAC systems
- Energy-efficient appliances
- Healthier building materials
- Better insulation and air sealing
At Ernest Homes, every home is designed with advanced construction techniques that reduce energy usage, create a more comfortable environment, and help support overall wellness.
Lots of Natural Light
Modern floor plans are designed with openness and wellness in mind. New construction homes feature larger windows, thoughtful home placement within the community, and intentional layouts that maximize natural light. Sunlight increases vitamin D intake, helps regulate sleep patterns, and boosts mood.
Ernest Homes Builds Healthier Homes for Your Family
You deserve a home that supports your health from the inside out. Older resale homes often lack the materials, systems, and modern designs needed for clean, comfortable living — but a brand-new Ernest Home is built with your well-being in mind from day one.
