Would you like a more comfortable home with lower utility bills?
Most homes have not been constructed with energy efficiency in mind. The typical home, whether it was built just last year or 100 years ago, unnecessarily leaks valuable conditioned air. ERS of NC corrects these critical flaws. We use proven techniques that lower your utility bills while creating a more comfortable and healthier home for you and your family while decreasing the negative impact on the environment.
We are a locally owned and operated building company based in Asheville, NC. Our focus is on energy efficient design and environmentally sound building practices.
Through hard work, dedication, and creative innovation, we strive to produce high quality, architecturally distinct homes which complement and enhance their surrounding landscape.
Blue Ridge Energy Systems was founded in 1977 by Robin Woodward to address the emerging need for energy conservation in residential construction. Robin made his start in the industry building and installing solar water heating systems and woodstoves, and quickly began building energy efficient homes.Through hard work, attention to detail, and a focus on energy usage and systems development, Blue Ridge Energy Systems was building “green” before “green” was cool. At that time we referred to it as “super-insulated construction.”
We take an economic approach to green building – we keep our building costs comparable to conventional building, keep our homes’ energy costs to a minimum (about $200 per year for heating and cooling a 3,500 sf house), and we use the most durable materials available so our homes are both environmentally and financially sustainable.

The owners are Joe and Sue Mattera. After raising our family and living in Sarasota, Florida for the last 15 years, we decided to move to the mountains for a cooler climate and to live in a more natural environment. We scouted out various locations for our vacation rental business and almost ended up in Costa Rica. However, after spending multiple summers in the Blue Ridge mountains, always staying at various cabins and cottages, we decided that this was the place for us. Weaverville has been a hidden gem for us.
Joe, with a degree in architecture, has been building homes for over 30 years. He designed these vacation cottages to be green built, non-toxic, energy efficient, and set into the natural environment to take advantage of the magnificent views and surroundings.
