R-2000 HOMES
WE ARE THE R-2000 EXPERTS

Bert French & Son Limited is the leader in the R-2000 program in Muskoka having built 65 R-2000 homes. Only licenced R-2000 builders can offer you an R-2000 home.

SOME FEATURES OF THE HOME ARE:

  • enrolled and certified in the R-2000 program
  • designed to a specific energy target (typically, R-2000 homes use 30% less energy than non-R-2000)
  • air and vapour barriers are sealed carefully and then tested by depressurization of the house
  • heating, cooling & ventilation systems are chosen for energy efficiency and performance
  • only water saving toilets, showers & faucets are used
  • excellent inside air quality with a Heat Recovery Ventilation system (HRV)
  • DO NOT BELIEVE A HOUSE IS "AS GOOD AS R-2000" IF IT HAS NOT BEEN TESTED.
