HOME ENERGY SCORE

We use this tool to make your home easier to understand.

The Score turns complex building science into a simple number so you can see how your home performs and where improvements will make the biggest difference.

What the Home Energy Score Does

The Home Energy Score™ is a simple way to understand how your home uses energy. It looks at the parts of your home that matter most such as insulation, windows, heating, cooling, and air movement, and turns all of that into a clear 1–10 score.

We use this tool because it helps homeowners make confident decisions. No complicated reports. Just a clear picture of how your home performs and what improvements will help the most.

What the Score Means

The Score shows how efficiently your home uses energy compared to similar homes. A higher number means your home stays comfortable with less energy. A lower number means there’s room for improvement and the report will show exactly where.

It’s a simple way to understand your home’s strengths and what upgrades will make the biggest difference.

Why the Home Energy Score Matters

A Home Energy Score doesn’t just explain how your home uses energy. It can also support comfort, lower bills, and even help protect your home’s value. Recent national research shows that homes with higher Scores often sell for more and have lower estimated energy costs. The Score gives homeowners clear, trusted information that makes planning easier and helps buyers understand the value of an efficient home.
