HERS RATING
Independent Energy Testing for Every Home
Each Comerio home of Northwest Arkansas is inspected by a certified HERS (Home Energy Rating System) auditor. The HERS Index measures a home’s energy performance and the lower the score, the more efficient the home.
- The average home scores around 100.
- Comerio Homes average in the low 60s, making them nearly 40% more energy efficient.
- One recent audit showed an estimated annual energy savings of $2,291 compared to a typical existing home.
These inspections confirm our commitment to energy efficiency and help homeowners identify potential areas for further savings in the future.
Sealing and Air Leak Protection
Tight Construction for Maximum Efficiency
Before drywall installation, our homes are carefully air-sealed using caulk and expandable foam to reduce drafts and air leaks.

- Helps retain warmth in winter and block heat in summer
These practices improve energy efficiency while enhancing indoor comfort.
