Technology Has Your Back

Chesapeake Homes strives to offer homes built with technology to automate your life while saving energy and money every step of the way. 

• Smart Thermostats - Control your thermostat from anywhere in the world using your smartphone. No need to have that AC running when you are away or set it to automatically adjust based on the temperature outside. 
• Smart Light Switch - Set up your lights on a schedule that fits your lifestyle. Save on energy bills by not having to worry about leaving lights on for hours.

Insulation at the Forefront

Insulation is installed in every home we build at Chesapeake Homes, to slow down the movement of heat through your new construction. We upkeep all insulation standards as well as install moisture control and air sealing. This practice in turn helps improve comfort and energy efficiency in every home. 

We Choose Tankless Water Heaters

At the majority of Chesapeake Homes communities, tankless water heaters are the way to go to reduce any hot water headaches, but also save homeowners money and energy. Not only does the U.S. Department of Energy say tankless water heaters last longer, but they also have lower operating and energy costs. Having a home with a tankless water heater can be 8% - 34% (based on water usage) more energy efficient for homes, which is why Chesapeake Homes does so. 

Enjoying the Great Outdoors

When looking at purchasing a home at one of Chesapeake Homes many communities, buyers will notice the use of green spaces, nature trails, and parks. Not only does this enhance the beauty of our communities and promote togetherness but helps enhance our environment. Supplying these types of recreational areas in communities improves air quality, fosters social interaction, encourages people to enjoy nature, and increases biodiversity.
