Cozy Without the Compromise: How Our Homes Handle Southern Winters
Cozy Without the Compromise: How Our Homes Handle Southern Winters
December 22, 2025
Winter in the South might not be Arctic-cold, but when the chilly nights roll in, you’ll still want a home that locks in warmth and locks out worry. That’s where a thoughtfully built home makes all the difference. With the right energy-savings systems, draft prevention, and comfort-first design, tucked-in nights become something to look forward to.
Save on Energy
At Legacy Homes, energy efficiency is front and center. Legacy homes are certified through the HERS® system and ranked as much as 30% more efficient than standard new builds and up to 60% more efficient than older homes. Using techniques like advanced framing, top-tier insulation, and Energy Star® appliances, our homes reduce bills while maintaining elegance.
What this means for you: Lower energy usage on the coldest nights, calmer HVAC runs, and more money staying in your wallet instead of being lost on an inefficient home.
Prevent Drafts & Keep Warmth In
Nothing ruins cozy quite like unexpected drafts or cold spots. Legacy Homes tackles this with quality insulation, advanced framing, and low-E windows designed to minimize leaks and thermal loss. These features create a snugger, quieter, healthier indoor environment.
What this means for you: No more trading blankets between rooms. No more corner chills when the heater kicks on. Your home is standing up to a Southern winter.
Experience Southern Winters the Right Way
Within a Legacy home, you’ll find HVAC systems with fresh-air ventilation, high SEER-rated equipment, and improved design details throughout. Put it all together, and you get a quieter, more stable indoor climate, fewer surprises, and greater peace of mind.
