Setting the Standard: AR Homes® Mechanical Features That Elevate Everyday Living

At AR Homes® Indianapolis (Scott Bates Builders), we believe a dream home goes beyond aesthetics—it should deliver long-term comfort, efficiency, and intelligent design. That’s why the mechanical standards we include surpass typical industry practices. Here’s how we integrate smart, high-performance features into every home we build.

 

High-Efficiency HVAC Systems

Comfort starts with climate control. Each home includes two Bryant® or Carrier® furnaces, each with a minimum 96% energy efficiency rating—so 96% of the fuel is converted into usable heat, reducing energy waste and lowering utility costs.

  • Dual-zone heating provides separate systems for the main and upper levels, allowing tailored temperature control.
  • Cooling and humidity control comes from a minimum of two 16 SEER AC units and one humidifier, ensuring balanced indoor air quality throughout the seasons.

 

Sleek, Smart Lighting

We use 3” Visual Comfort Verse recessed lights for a modern, low-profile look that enhances a wide range of architectural styles.

  • No-baffle design adds a clean, streamlined aesthetic.
  • Built-in LED drivers simplify installation, reducing labor time and cost.
  • Durability and efficiency make these lights a long-term investment that pays off in energy savings and minimal maintenance.

 

Reliable Hot Water & Protection Systems

Each home includes a 75-gallon gas power vent water heater, offering reliable hot water for daily needs.

  • Fast recovery times make it ideal for busy households.
  • Gas-powered systems often lead to lower utility costs.
  • Battery-powered sump pump adds peace of mind during storms or power outages.
  • Optional tankless upgrade is available for added efficiency and space savings.

 

At AR Homes® Indianapolis, we don’t just build beautiful homes—we engineer them for lasting performance and everyday comfort. Our mechanical standards reflect a commitment to smarter living and elevated design.
