August 25, 2025
At Parkside Builders, we design homes that deliver more than just beautiful layouts and modern finishes. Our homes are built with energy-efficient features that help reduce utility costs, improve indoor comfort and prepare homeowners for what’s next.
From EV-ready garages to insulated steel garage doors and Huntsman Spray Foam Insulation, every detail is designed with performance in mind. Read on to take a closer look at how our team at Parkside Builders is raising the bar for energy-efficient new homes in Nashville, Chattanooga and throughout Middle Tennessee.
EV-Ready Homes: Built for the Future
Electric vehicles are quickly becoming the new standard, and at Parkside Builders, we make sure that your home is ready to keep up. All of our new homes now come with EV-ready infrastructure, including a conduit, breaker space and a junction box to support the easy installation of a future electric vehicle charging station.
Without EV-ready wiring, many homeowners often face high costs and complicated processes to add a charger later on. With a Parkside home, the hard work is already done, and all you’ll need is the charger itself, making the transition to an electric vehicle seamless and affordable.
This feature doesn’t just add convenience to your home however, it also adds long-term value. As more buyers begin searching specifically for EV-friendly homes in Nashville, your Parkside home will already check that box if you ever plan to sell in the future.
Insulated Steel Garage Doors for Year-Round Comfort
A garage door is often one of the largest openings in a home, which means it can also be a major source of energy loss. That’s why we partner with Wayne Dalton to install their Classic Steel insulated garage doors.
These doors provide outstanding thermal efficiency, and whether you use your garage mainly for parking, storage or even as a home gym, you’ll notice the difference in comfort. Benefits of our insulated garage doors include:
- Improved energy savings by minimizing heat transfer.
- Greater durability with high-quality steel construction.
- Noise reduction thanks to a more solid, insulated design.
Huntsman Spray Foam Insulation: Comfort You Can Feel
Insulation is one of the most important factors in a home’s energy performance, and our team goes above and beyond by using Huntsman Spray Foam Insulation. This advanced material is applied as a liquid, which expands to fill every crack, seam and hard-to-reach area, and the result is a continuous air barrier that provides superior comfort and efficiency. Some benefits include:
- Energy Savings: Lower monthly utility bills by reducing unwanted air leakage.
- Healthier Living: Spray foam seals out dust, pollen and airborne irritants, improving indoor air quality.
- Moisture Protection: Reduces condensation and mold risk by controlling airflow.
- Sound Control: Helps block outside noise for a quieter, more peaceful home.
