What are the benefits to buying an Energy Star HUD code home?

ENERGY STAR® qualified new homes are at least 30% more energy-efficient than homes built to the national energy code. Our ENERGY STAR qualified new homes are independently verified by a third party home energy rater to ensure they meet ENERGY STAR energy efficiency guidelines. These homes are better for the environment and better for you. Benefits of owning one of our ENERGY STAR® qualified new homes include:

Lower Utility Costs – Compared with standard homes, ENERGY STAR qualified new homes use substantially less energy for heating, cooling, and hot water heating. Typical homeowners can expect to save about $200-$600 annually on their utility bills. Over the life of your home, this could mean thousands of dollars in real savings on utility costs, and could potentially increase the resale value of your home.

More Comfortable/Quieter Homes – The energy-efficient features of ENERGY STAR qualified new homes keep out excessive heat, cold, and noise, and ensure consistent temperatures between rooms—making these homes more comfortable to live in.

Helping to Create a Better Future – By purchasing an ENERGY STAR qualified new home, you are joining millions of consumers who have changed to ENERGY STAR, helping our nation reduce our energy needs and building a cleaner environment for the future.

A Label Backed by the Government – All ENERGY STAR qualified new homes are certified to meet EPA’s strict guidelines for energy efficiency. This exemplary performance is verified by an independent third party.

Features of our ENERGY STAR® qualified new homes include:

Increased Insulation – Improved and effective use of insulation helps achieve even temperatures throughout the house while using less energy. The result is lower utility costs and a quieter, more comfortable home.

High-performance Windows – High-performance windows help keep heat in during winter and out during summer. They also block damaging ultraviolet sunlight that can discolor carpets and furniture.

Tight Construction and Tight Ducts – Tight ducts and tight construction help eliminate drafts, moisture, dust, pests, and pollen. This improves comfort and the quality of indoor air, while lowering maintenance costs.

Energy-efficient Heating and Cooling Equipment – More efficient and properly installed heating and cooling systems use less energy, which reduces utility bills. These systems also turn on and off less frequently, removing more humidity and providing better comfort.

When shopping for a new or pre-owned home beware of the following:

No dealership can guarantee that your financing is approved. No matter what they say. Only a licensed lending institution by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking can do this. Too many times we've heard from consumers that their hopes where up because a dealership told them "you're approved - no problem" only to be strung along to find out they are not. If a dealership tells you this, ask for the approval letter from the bank as proof.
Beware of dealerships that ask for "application fees". Chances are the lending institution that approves you will also have an application fee that you will be charged in closing, so why pay twice? Black's Home Sales does not charge an application fee. In reality, if we do run a credit report it costs our dealership between $5 and $7 and only takes a few minutes. So why pay $50, $100 or more to a dealer for an "application fee"?
Beware of dealerships that ask for deposits using high pressure tactics. Some dealerships tell the customer "don't worry - it's refundable". Read all the fine print on all paperwork INCLUDING the receipt to verify this. Some deposits are only refundable if you can not get approved for a loan (see next paragraph). Most of all - play it safe - don't give a deposit until you feel sure and have made your final decision.
A dealership may get you approved with different facts or figures than you provided during the initial application interview in order to keep your deposit. For instance, you may say that you have a $5,000 down payment during the application process - it's submitted to a lender and declined. The dealer may turn around and submit it with $15,000 down and then get an approval thus keeping your deposit (because the terms possibly for a refund are only if you can't get an approval). Next you get a call from the dealer saying "your approved" and without you knowing what the terms are until you get paperwork from the lender in the mail, your hopes are high and then fall quickly in addition to being out a deposit because your unable to meet the approval criteria that the dealer submitted with out you knowing.
Beware of dealerships claiming that they are "Affiliated" with Black's Home Sales. Competitors on occasion will tell customers this and send them to our locations to view homes. We want to be clear that we only have 2 locations located in Osceola Mills & Duncansville, Pennsylvania and are not affiliated with any other dealership in PA.

What do you need in order to order a house?

You must have a building permit and/or footings or foundation in and a solid closing date (in some cases have closed on your construction loan) from your bank, in order to put the house into the 5-8 full business week factory production schedule. But since you need the blueprints to get the building permit, you must first make an appointment to come in to put a deposit down to get the blueprints started and prepare the paperwork for the bank. Immediately following that appointment, you can bring our paperwork with our rough floor plan to the bank and we start the blueprints that you will need to apply for the building permit. The blueprints can take approximately 2-5 weeks to complete which is also the time it usually takes for a bank to give an unconditional commitment letter and a closing date. Then you submit the blueprints to the town for a building permit. At the same time when you apply for your building permit, you come in to pick out your colors, and put the second deposit down. Then once you have closed on your construction loan or have a solid closing date, and your footings or foundation is in, we put your house into the 5-8 week production schedule at the factory. ALL TIMES QUOTED ARE APPROXIMATES AND CAN VARY DEPENDING ON THE TIME OF YEAR, THE FACTORY PRODUCTION SCHEDULE BACKLOG, Black's Home Sales, Inc. schedule AND HOLIDAYS.

We have been designing and building modular and sectional homes for 60 years. In 1947, Black's Home Sales was established by Brent Black in a small office along Rt. 22 in Duncansville. Mr. Black remained the owner of the continuously growing company until his passing in 1973. At that time, Mr. Black's son, Carl, took over operations of the manufactured homes business. In 1980, Dale Wronski, a Michigan native, purchased the business. Mr. Wronski entered the manufactured housing industry shortly after graduating from Eastern Michigan University in 1970. Mr. Wronski worked as a purchasing agent for Champion Home Builders at the Claysburg, Pennsylvania location. In 1973, Mr. Wronski had left Champion Home Builders to work for a large central Pennsylvania manufactured housing retailer where he was involved in sales for seven years prior to his purchase of Black's Home Sales. Over the past twenty seven years, Mr. Wronski has watched his company prosper into the reputable business it is today. He is thankful for the many loyal customers and dedicated employees that have made the phenomenal growth of the company possible.
