What Home Energy Solutions does

Home Energy Solutions Inc. (HES) is a privately held, founder-operated professional services firm headquartered in Huntington, New York, that delivers third-party residential energy rating, certification, and diagnostic testing services across Long Island. Founded in 2007 and operating with approximately 21 employees, HES holds multi-agency credentials as an EPA ENERGY STAR Rating Corporation, NYSERDA-recognized rater, RESNET-certified HERS provider, NAHB-approved Green Verifier, and LIPA-recognized program participant. Its core service line consists of HERS ratings and ENERGY STAR home certifications for new construction, complemented by HVAC system sizing using ACCA Manual J/S/D calculations and a suite of diagnostic tests (blower door, duct blaster, infrared thermography, combustion safety testing, and air flow balancing) delivered as standalone services or bundled within certification packages. The firm also performs whole-house energy assessments for existing homes, producing prioritized improvement recommendations.

The business model is project-based professional services billed on a custom quote basis, with services requested through direct phone, email, and website inquiry. HES targets three primary customer segments: homebuilders and developers needing HERS/Energy Star documentation for permit compliance, individual homeowners seeking energy assessments for existing properties, and local building departments on Long Island that have adopted the ENERGY STAR Labeled Homes (ESLH) program as part of their building code. The firm serves twelve-plus Long Island municipalities (Babylon, Brookhaven, East Hampton, Hempstead, Huntington, Islip, North Hempstead, Oyster Bay, Riverhead, Shelter Island, Southampton, Southold), positioning itself as a bridge between builders/homeowners and permit authorities. Reported outcomes for client homes include 30-50% energy operating cost reductions versus standard construction and 50% energy savings on luxury projects.

HES differentiates through regulatory credentials, accumulated building science expertise, and award-winning project history, including six consecutive EPA Leadership in Housing Awards (2008-2013), five consecutive LIPA Outstanding Participant recognitions (2009-2013), and a second-place finish in the USGBC 2012 national Efficient and Affordable Housing design challenge (partnering with Bush Associates). The firm operates with no disclosed institutional investors, subsidiaries, or M&A activity, and its geographic footprint is intentionally concentrated on Long Island rather than pursuing multi-state expansion.
