The HERS® Index has become so much a part of the Greater Phoenix housing market that existing home owners are retrofitting their homes to improve their home’s HERS® Index Score. As part of preparing to be put up for sale, a 1960 ranch style home in South Scottsdale was retrofitted and rated. The home was originally was rated at a HERS® Index Score of 160 and after the retrofit achieved a HERS® Index Score of 66. With the new score the home is now competitive to a newly constructed home in the Phoenix market.
