How do you know your new home is operating efficiently? The Home Energy Rating System (HERS) calculates the energy efficiency score of new and pre-owned homes and correlates the cost savings comparison. The lower the score, the more energy efficient your home is and the higher the savings you’ll have over time. The average annual energy cost savings with a new home, compared to a pre-owned home is 40%!
Comparing HERS Scores

Average Edward Andrews New Home: 75 – 80
Average Annual Energy Cost Savings: 40%
