Today’s new homes are much more efficient in comparison to homes built just a decade ago. Our homes are more affordable to maintain, comfortable and have a higher value.
With home energy costs skyrocketing day after day, it only makes sense to find out how energy efficient a home really is. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that houses built in line with Energy Smart guidelines use 50% less energy than older existing homes.

What is the HERS index?
The RESNET HERS Index is the industry standard by which a home’s energy efficiency is measured. The HERS or Home Energy Rating System was developed by RESNET and is the nationally recognized system for inspecting and calculating a home’s energy performance. Certified RESNET Home Energy Raters conduct inspections to verify a home’s energy performance and determine what improvements can be made to increase it.
The LOWER the HERS index the more energy efficient a home is.
At Taylor Homes, our index number is set at a minimum of 85, meaning… Lower energy costs for YOU, the Taylor Homes homeowner.
What the numbers really mean…
At Taylor Homes, we LOVE the energy efficiency of our new homes! – – so do our customers
