What is a HERS Rating?
A Home Energy Rating System (HERS) rating is an industry standard by which a home's energy efficiency is measured. It's like the MPG (miles per gallon) rating for homes, providing a score that indicates how energy efficient your home is. The lower the HERS score, the more energy-efficient the home.
How is a HERS Rating Determined?
A certified Home Energy Rater conducts a thorough inspection of the home, using state-of-the-art equipment to assess various aspects such as:
Insulation Levels: The effectiveness of the home’s insulation in reducing energy loss.
Windows and Doors: The efficiency of windows and doors in minimizing energy leakage.
Heating and Cooling Systems: The performance and efficiency of HVAC systems.
Air Leakage: How well the home is sealed against outside air.
Ductwork: The efficiency and leakage of the duct system.
Benefits of a Low HERS Rating
Lower Energy Bills: Homes with lower HERS ratings consume less energy, translating to significant savings on utility bills.
Improved Comfort: Enhanced insulation and efficient systems ensure consistent indoor temperatures.
Higher Resale Value: Energy-efficient homes are more attractive to buyers and can command higher prices.
Environmental Impact: Lower energy consumption reduces the home's carbon footprint, contributing to a healthier planet.
Qualification for Incentives: Many states offer rebates and incentives for homes with low HERS ratings.
