Having an energy efficient home can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars a year. At Regent Homes, we are dedicated to providing you with the highest quality homes and that means making your home as energy efficient as possible. We do this by using an industry standard scale known as the Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index.
The HERS Index is a nationally recognized system of measuring a home’s energy efficiency and performance created by the Residential Energy Services Network. With the HERS Index, your home is given a score of 0 – 150; the lower the number the better the score. The score is based on a number of variables including:
With an average HERS rating of 58, the HERS index predicts that Regent Homes can save you an average of $1,257 annually*. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that a resale home scores around 130 on the HERS Index while a new home typically receives a rating of 100. Regent Homes far surpasses these standards by building homes at a rating of 58 on average.
We aim to provide you not only beautiful and unique craftsmanship, but an energy optimized home for you to love and enjoy for years to come. Call us today to find out more or to start planning your new Regent Home!
