DALLAS, TX / ACCESSWIRE / October 16, 2016 / Prominent and well-respected real estate developer Marcus Hiles has brought luxury living to thousands of Texans with rental apartment homes featuring cutting-edge design and state-of-the-art appliances. In addition to providing residents with affordable yet upscale conveniences, he presents revolutionary amenities that elevate daily life and lower monthly expenses in an eco-friendly way. While there are many simple tips people can follow to reduce their utility bills (such as unplugging idle electrical devices and using less water by turning sink valves half-way off), Hiles offers something even better and more effective: the special, upgraded advances that come standard in the residences built by Western Rim Property Services, which make saving money effortless.

With careful planning, all of Marcus Hiles' exquisite communities throughout the Lone Star state are created in harmony with nature to conserve power consumption and keep monthly costs down. Elegant extra-tall, dual pane windows minimize air conditioning requirements during summer by utilizing a layer of argon gas. Highly effectual weather stripping maintains tight seals to prevent drafts—a common culprit of extra energy usage. Programmable thermostats and 16 SEER HVAC systems set the perfect temperatures year-round, allowing for reduced heating or cooling needs during times away from home or during sleeping hours, thereby significantly cutting electric bills while delivering optimal comfort. Other architectural details that help with climate control include attics lined with reflective TechShield® radiant barrier sheathing; the process redirects the sun's intense rays and blocks up to 97 percent of its produced warmth. Full depth cellulose insulation in attics and walls is not only exceptional at preventing intrusive noise, but with the professional installation techniques implemented on Hiles' properties, cellulose forms air-tight closures and limits convection, providing yet another method for decreased reliance on central air and heat. Cellulose is especially helpful for keeping expenses low during winter, as a University of Colorado School of Architecture and Planning study proved that it loses 26.4% less heat over time versus traditional fiberglass insulation.

Some of the upgraded amenities found within Marcus Hiles' deluxe rental units are the ENERGY STAR stainless steel Whirlpool® brand appliances. Manufactured to expertly perform with reduced power consumption, the environmentally sound kitchens boast spacious refrigerators and sleek microwave and oven ranges with contemporary style and flawless efficiency. These products are the highlight of an impeccable space for refined gourmet chef-quality cooking—and all while demanding less energy and costing residents less to operate every month. A voluntary program instituted by the Environmental Protection Agency program, ENERGY STAR has successfully reduced power and costs to consumers across the U.S. for two decades, and the trusted standard in green living is found in Hiles homes across Dallas/Fort Worth, Austin, Houston and San Antonio.
