I have a house in Westfield, IN that Frank Redavide of Castalia Homes built for me. I took possession in December 08. From beginning construction of this house, it has been nothing but trouble. There was no supervision of this house and issues brought to the builders attention during the building process were not taken care of. No green products or design were offered to me at this time, my heating bills are $500.00 a month in the winter. I have drafty doors, windows and cold exteriors walls in the winter as well, my "new" home feels like a 100 year old home with old doors, windows and ancient (if any is there)insulation. I question the knowledge of "green" this builder has and if you would like to see my unenergy efficient house I will be more than happy to show you my thermal imaging and blower door tests. I had wanted to use a wind turbine to power my residence and he gave me one contact that said it cannot be done in my location. Since becoming a provider of alternative energy I have learned that my location would have been ideal for a 10k turbine...he did not do proper research on this matter.
Producer of energy efficient homes???? I think not. BEWARE
