LIVE COMFORTABLE, SAVE ENERGY.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Thoroughbred Custom Homes are designed and built to provide superior comfort and savings compared to most new homes on the market. All homes are built to Energy Star\u00ae standards and are inspected and tested for energy performance utilizing the Home Energy Rating\u00ae System (HERS) by Fox Energy Specialists, an Independent Third-Party Provider. This includes insulation inspections, HVAC duct leakage testing, building envelope leakage testing, appliance energy consumption and more. The HERS Index is the nationally recognized ANSI\/ RESNET Standard and system for inspecting, testing, and calculating a home\u2019s energy performance.

WHAT IS THE HERS INDEX?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

A HERS\u00ae home energy rating is an in-depth analysis of a home\u2019s energy performance that identifies how efficiently it is operating. Each HERS\u00ae rated home receives a HERS\u00ae Score based on its performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

A HERS\u00ae Index Score can tell you so much about a home you are thinking of buying. Heating, cooling and water heating constitute the largest cost of homeownership outside of the mortgage loan. The HERS\u00ae Index Score will tell you how well the home performs energy-wise. The HERS\u00ae Report will outline the energy features of the home and the expected cost of utility bills.<\/p>\n

As of August 1, 2023, Thoroughbred Custom Homes’ average score is 54 which is 46% better than the “Standard New Home”!<\/strong><\/p>\n
