Energy-Efficient New Homes Built to Perform

Every Fischer Homes single-family home is built through our EnergyWise® Program — a smarter approach to construction designed for efficiency, performance, and long-term savings.

High-Performance Exterior Systems

Our homes are built with durable roofing, advanced moisture barriers, and engineered wall systems designed to reduce thermal transfer and protect against the elements — helping maintain comfort in every season.

Advanced Insulation & Air Sealing

Professionally installed insulation and comprehensive air sealing minimize drafts and energy loss, creating a more consistent indoor temperature and improving overall efficiency.

Efficient Heating & Cooling Systems

Right-sized, high-efficiency HVAC systems and smart controls work together to deliver reliable comfort while helping lower monthly energy costs.

Energy-Saving Windows & Doors

High-performance windows and tightly sealed exterior doors reduce heat gain and loss, allowing your home to stay comfortable without overworking your heating and cooling systems.

Water & Utility Efficiency Features

Water-saving fixtures, energy-efficient water heaters, and LED lighting help reduce everyday utility usage — supporting long-term savings without sacrificing performance.

Lower HERS® Score. Greater Efficiency.

The HERS® (Home Energy Rating System) Score is the nationally recognized standard for measuring a home’s energy efficiency. The lower the score, the more energy-efficient the home.

A certified third-party energy rater evaluates each home using specialized software and on-site testing. The score is calculated based on:

  • Insulation levels and air sealing
  • Window and door performance
  • Heating and cooling system efficiency
  • Ductwork design and leakage
  • Water heating systems
  • Overall home size and layout
  • Blower door testing to measure air infiltration

The home’s performance is compared against a reference home built to standard code. A score of 100 represents the reference home. Every point lower than 100 reflects a percentage improvement in energy efficiency.

Energy-Efficient New Construction Homes Built for Long-Term Savings

Fischer Homes builds energy-efficient new construction homes designed to deliver long-term performance, comfort, and lower utility costs. Through our EnergyWise® approach to sustainable home construction, every home is built with advanced insulation systems, high-performance windows, efficient HVAC equipment, and professionally sealed ductwork to reduce energy waste.

Our new homes are independently tested and HERS rated to verify energy performance, helping homeowners understand their home’s projected efficiency compared to standard construction. By combining smart building practices with energy-saving features, we create high-performance homes that use less energy for heating, cooling, and everyday living.

The result is a new construction home built for improved indoor comfort, reduced environmental impact, and potential long-term energy savings.
