What is a Home Energy Rating?
The Home Energy Rating System (HERS) promotes residential energy efficiency, which makes housing more comfortable and more affordable.

HERS gives a number rating to your home based on a declining rating scale. The lower your rating number, the more energy efficient your home is. The average home rating in Illinois is 100, while a rating of 70 constitutes an "energy efficient" home.

By applying the recommendations from a typical Home Energy Rating, you can increase your home's efficiency rating by 10-20 points. This could easily save you 25% - 40% each year on your utility bills.

The energy savings you realize in your first year alone could pay for the Home Energy Rating.

Eastern Illini also offers certification for home builder tax credits. Call 800-824-5102 or Email us for more information.
