• CEC Now Offers Home Energy Ratings
  (posted May 31, 2006)

  Home Energy Ratings performed by CEC's certified home energy raters offer a standardized evaluation of a home's energy efficiency and expected energy costs. This rating can qualify a homeowner or homebuyer for an energy efficient mortgage (EEM) or an energy improvement mortgage (EIM). Ratings help to get the most value out of the biggest single investment most homeowners are likely to make in their entire lifetime.
  
  A HERS rating is an evaluation of the energy efficiency of a home, compared to a computer-simulated reference house of identical size and shape. The HERS rating results in a score between 0 and 100. An ENERGY STAR qualified home must achieve a HERS score of at least 86. Typically, this ENERGY STAR qualified home will be at least 30% more energy-efficient than a standard home. HERS ratings involve the analysis of the building shell (walls, windows, insulation) and heating and cooling systems. The on-site inspection includes a blower door test (to test the leakiness of the house) and a duct test (to test the leakiness of the ducts). This information is entered into a computer simulation program that generates a HERS score and the home's estimated annual energy costs.
  
  To learn more about our HERS services, please contact us today!
