About
Home Energy Scores

A Home Energy Score is an assessment of your home’s energy efficiency.

A Home Energy Score gives buyers and sellers a clear picture of how much energy the home uses. During the evaluation, a qualified professional examines key features like insulation, windows, heating, and cooling systems (among other items) to calculate a score from 1 to 10.

Local compliance matters: All homes listed for sale in Portland, Milwaukie, and Hillsboro are required to have a Home Energy Score on file with the U.S. Green Building Registry prior to closing. If the score is missing, jurisdictions can assess a $500 penalty—so staying compliant is essential. We make the process simple and stress-free.

Beyond meeting requirements, your Home Energy Score highlights opportunities to improve comfort and reduce energy costs. It adds transparency and value to your home sale, and can be a powerful tool to showcase energy efficiency to potential buyers.

Need help getting compliant? We’ve got you covered. Schedule your Home Energy Score today and avoid costly penalties while adding confidence to your sale.

Nick is thorough, willing to answer any questions, flexible to get to a property on a quick turnaround, and provides a decent summary report of findings for the property. His photos make it easier for vendors to provide estimates for repairs. Have used him for 2 different properties at this point and he exceeded what we've been used to in other parts of the country.

Nick from Town Home Inspections was so incredibly thorough and helpful. Being first time home buyers, we had a lot of questions and wanted to make sure that we were making the right decision with our purchase. Having Nick out there undoubtedly helped relieve any of our initial concerns, he provided us with a detailed report of items that came up during his inspection and took the time to explain each one of them to us after the inspection was complete.

The report outlines all items based on severity and he made sure to let us know which items needed immediate attention or otherwise could be taken care of by us after our purchase was complete. We felt confident with our decision and would recommend Nick to any of our friends or family!
