This highly anticipated federal holiday is celebrated by many around the world.

Along with the holiday season comes chilly weather and high electricity bills, now is a great time to prepare your home for this winter.
During these cold Winter months it’s important to have a warm and cozy living environment. There are many things you can do to increase the energy efficiency of your home.
Investing in quality insulation and windows are just some of many ways to do so and here are some great benefits to consider:
Saves energy. Our new homes are complete with Energy Star rated windows that feature advanced technologies such as glass coatings, vacuum-sealed spaces, and better weather stripping. This reduces the amount of energy used by nearly 50%! The energy efficiency of your home increases while the amount of CO2 emissions in the atmosphere decreases.
Saves money. Say good-bye to high energy bills! Great insulation and windows pays for itself in the long run. This will drastically lower the amount of money spent on heating each month and makes a huge difference year round.
Improves overall comfort. Keeping your home properly insulated and having energy star rated windows ensures stable temperatures throughout your home. Heat is better kept indoors and will keep your home much warmer.
Our Installations department is more than happy to answer any of your questions or concerns. Call (888) 874-8692 for more information!
The holiday season is in full effect and with the economy being as bad as the economy has been, the holiday season seems to become a time of depression rather than a time to rejoice. Since October, Alliance Manufactured Homes has been hosting a canned food and toy drive in accordance with the Sunnyvale Community Service Center to help the less fortunate families of the Sunnyvale community this holiday season.
Alliance collected and donated a variety of canned goods as well as many fun toys for children of all ages. On Monday December 5th, eight-team members from the Marketing Department volunteered at the Sunnyvale Community Services Center. Four members help put together close to 300 bags of fresh produce enough for each family to use for two weeks. The other four members then assisted these families to their cars by pushing carts filled with food and goodies and loading them into their cars. They also unloaded trucks filled with bags of donated coats, jackets, and sweatshirts.
“One of the best feelings was seeing the huge smiles on someone’s face as they came through the center. It was amazing to see all of the volunteers coming together all for the same purpose: simply to make a difference,” said Shannon, one of the volunteers.
Witnessing how happy and thankful the less fortunate residents of Sunnyvale were with all of the food brought smiles to the Alliance Marketing members’ faces. Even when the times are hard for millions of people, a simple donation or taking a few hours to volunteer goes a long way.” Seeing all the people who were at the center as we volunteered made the experience that much more real because we got to see where all our donations went and how thankful for everything everyone was,” said Natalie, another one of the volunteers.

California is known for many hot topics, one of those hot topics being earthquakes. For a few years now, many have wondered when the next big earthquake will strike California. In recent weeks earthquakes having been striking and causing damage all over the world. These recent earthquakes have led many potential buyers to ponder how well a manufactured home will fair during one.
In an interview with Ara Sarkisian, a partner in Alliance Manufactured Homes, with an extensive background in engineering, architecture, and construction, addresses the safety features of manufactured homes.
What are some common misconceptions about the safety of manufactured homes?
“The biggest misconception is that manufactured homes are flimsy and fall apart easy. This is due to the videos we see on television about old mobile home parks in hurricanes. The fact of the matter is that the new manufactured homes are built as strong as or stronger than conventional homes.”
With the recent earthquakes hitting all over the world, how would manufactured homes fair in earthquakes?
“Manufactured homes fair very well during earthquakes. They are built with a high percentage of shear walls, which offers great structural support during any shaking or rattling from an earthquake.”
Do manufactured home parks have an emergency drill in place when earthquakes hit?
“Manufactured home parks have emergency procedures including evacuation procedures for any type of natural disaster. Here in the Bay Area, we would mostly be dealing with earthquakes, floods, or power outages. The manufactured home parks are required by the state of California to have on file Evacuation Procedures for their residents.”
How big of a magnitude does an earthquake need to cause major damage to manufactured homes?
“The answer to that remains unknown. We had an earthquake in 1989, that was 7.9 magnitude and the manufactured homes made it through that shake just fine.”
What is the difference between manufactured homes in mobile home parks versus residential homes foundation wise?
“Manufactured homes in mobile home parks are constructed onto a non-permanent foundation. They are not installed on a concrete foundation like residential homes are. They are installed onto a series of steel support piers. These piers offer structural foundation support as well as seismic support for any lateral forces caused by earthquakes. In some cases, this is actually preferred over a rigid concrete foundation system.”
Can older manufactured homes withstand earthquakes? If not, how often are manufactured homes replaced or upgraded?
“The newer the home the greater the structural integrity. The new manufactured homes are built to upgraded codes and higher engineering standards. These new homes replace the old manufactured homes every day throughout the area.”
Is there any reason you can think of that would cause someone not buy a manufactured home due to the threat of an earthquake?
“No. My experience is these homes are completely safe.”
Hopefully the interview shed light on the stability of manufactured homes and how well they withstand natural disasters. The foundation that manufactured homes stand on is one of the positives in purchasing a home! Safety is always a concern so – Why COMPROMISE?
