  • Custom Amish-made cabinetry throughout the home

Every space is designed to balance functionality with timeless design, creating a home that feels both elegant and welcoming.


A Home That Produces More Energy Than It Uses

While the finishes are impressive, the real story is what you don't see.

This home was built as a Net Zero "Positive Energy" Home, earning an incredible -2 HERS® Score. That means the home is designed to generate more electricity than it consumes over the course of a year.

With a solar panel system and battery backup sized to offset 100% of the home's energy use, homeowners can enjoy significantly reduced utility costs while increasing energy independence and resilience.


High-Performance Construction from the Ground Up

At Charis Homes, performance begins long before the drywall goes up.

This home includes numerous advanced building features that work together to improve efficiency, durability, comfort, and indoor air quality.


Geothermal HVAC System

Geothermal heating and cooling uses the earth's consistent underground temperature to provide remarkably efficient year-round comfort while reducing energy consumption.


Advanced Framing Techniques

Our advanced framing methods maximize insulation opportunities, reduce thermal bridging, and improve the overall energy performance of the home's exterior walls.


Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) Foundation

The ICF foundation provides exceptional strength, improved insulation, quieter interiors, and enhanced moisture resistance compared to traditional foundations.


Navien Heat Pump Water Heater

This high-efficiency water heating system helps reduce energy usage while providing reliable hot water for everyday living.


Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV)

Fresh air is continuously introduced while stale indoor air is exhausted, helping maintain healthier indoor air quality without sacrificing energy efficiency.


Rheia Air Distribution System

Unlike traditional ductwork, the Rheia duct system is engineered for improved airflow, reduced energy loss, quieter operation, and more consistent temperatures throughout the home.


Smart Electrical Panel

The integrated smart electrical panel allows homeowners to monitor and better understand their home's energy usage in real time, providing valuable insights into overall performance.


Built for Today—and the Future

A high-performance home isn't simply about lowering utility bills.

It's about creating a healthier indoor environment, maintaining more consistent temperatures, improving comfort in every season, reducing environmental impact, and building a home that continues to deliver value for decades to come.

That's why Charis Homes builds every home with an emphasis on craftsmanship, innovation, and long-term performance.
