In Bend, Oregon, obtaining a Home Energy Score (HES) is essential for homeowners looking to enhance energy efficiency and reduce long-term costs. Effective July 1, 2023, the City of Bend mandates that all homes listed for sale include an HES report, providing prospective buyers with valuable insights into a home's energy performance. This standardized assessment evaluates factors such as insulation, heating and cooling systems, and overall energy usage, offering a score akin to a vehicle's miles-per-gallon rating. Beyond compliance, obtaining an HES can lead to increased property value, improved comfort, and potential energy savings through recommended upgrades. Whether you're preparing to sell or seeking to optimize your home's energy efficiency, securing a Home Energy Score is a proactive step towards a more sustainable and cost-effective living environment.
