Smart Lighting
Every Aro home is the result of an integrated design and engineering process to deliver better efficiency, lower maintenance costs, and the best possible homeowner experience.
Smarter Energy management
Every Aro home uses a SPAN smart electrical panel to monitor and manage your electrical load, controls every circuit in your home from your smartphone, and integrates with your home’s solar panels to optimize energy usage.
Battery Ready
Aro homes make it easy to add battery storage so you can maintain power during outages. You can also optimize solar versus grid-supplied electricity usage, which can drive substantial cost savings.
Leakage Monitoring
Every Aro home is equipped with a Moen Flo Smart Water Monitor featuring leak detection, automatic shutoff, real-time alerts, and remote control via smartphone.
Advanced water heating systems
A heat pump water heater reallocates heat rather than generating heat directly, yielding 4x the efficiency of conventional water heaters.
Small Duct High-Velocity HVAC System paired with High-Efficiency Heat Pump
A Unico SDHV system has been engineered to work optimally within every Aro Home and is paired with a high efficiency heat pump, providing both heating and cooling to the home.
Indoor Air Quality paired with heat recovery
Every Aro Home includes an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) that constantly provides 30% more outdoor air over the code-mandated minimum.
Aro homes are different. Designed and engineered to be carbon negative, our homes generate more energy than they use.
Most homes fall short on sustainability, and are net contributors to carbon emissions—in fact, residential housing is responsible for 23% of global emissions.
