JG King Homes Moves to 8 Star Energy Efficiency

At JG King Homes, we've always believed in building homes that are strong, comfortable, and better for the future. That's why we're proud to share some exciting news: from now on, every new JG King Home will be designed and built to meet 8 star energy efficiency standards. Terms & conditions apply, see here for more details.

So, what does that mean for you? Let's break it down.

Why 8 Star Energy Efficiency Matters?

An 8 star home isn't just about ticking a sustainability box. It's about creating a smarter, more comfortable place to live. Here are the key benefits:

• Lower energy bills - With smarter design and materials, your home naturally stays cooler in summer and warmer in winter, reducing the need for heating and cooling. Compared to a 7 star home, you could use up to 30% less energy, saving hundreds each year on heating and cooling.

• Smarter borrowing - More lenders are now offering discounted interest rates of energy-efficient homes. That means your 8 star home could save you money even before you move in.

• Year-round comfort - High performance insulation, windows, and building methods mean a more consistent and enjoyable indoor temperature.

• Better for the environment - using less energy means reducing your carbon footprint without sacrificing lifestyle.

• Future-ready living - As energy standards rise across Australia, 8-star homes are already ahead of the curve, protecting the value of your investment.

Our Commitment to Building Better Homes

Since 1985, JG King Homes has been committed to building with strong Australian-made TRUECORE® steel frames and quality materials. Moving to 8 star homes, is the next step in our journey because we believe every Victorian family deserves a home that's healthier, smarter and designed for the future.

Building Your 8 Star Home

From the way your home is oriented on the block, to the windows, insulation, and roofing, every details of an 8 star JG King Home is carefully designed to deliver the best in comfort and efficiency. And the best part? You don't have to compromise on style or budget to enjoy the benefits.

Behind the scenes, a lot of research and innovation has gone into achieving this leap forward. A few of the standout features include:

• Low E glazing added back into our single-storey homes

• Double and triple glazed windows for maximum efficiency

• Maximum levels of ceiling and wall insulation (including high-density batts)

• Roof blankets for even greater insulation

• Bulk insulation in floor joists of double-storey homes

• Insulated internal walls around bathrooms, toilets, and laundries (where most heat is lost)

The future of home building is here, and it's 8 star.

As John King, our Executive Director, explains:

"Our new homes will deliver lower energy bills and higher energy efficiency without requiring homebuyers to overextend their borrowing or compromise their aspirations on design and comfort."

This is more than juts a step forward - it's part of our ongoing commitment to build homes that are healthier, smarter, and more sustainable for Victorian families.
