What is HERS? 

The Home Energy Rating System (HERS) started in the 1990's as a standardized method to calculate cost effectiveness of home improvements and "score" a homes energy consumption/performance.  HERS ratings, also know as diagnostic testing/field verification, are now utilized by building departments to document specialized tests on HVAC systems such as a duct leakage test, refrigerant charge measurement, airflow and fan watt draw. HERS raters are considered special inspectors for the local jurisdiction and these requirements are in place for the protection of the home owner.  HERS is also important in the New Solar Homes Partnership (NSHP) program to verify energy efficiency and solar electric systems.

As HERS raters we provide third party verification for home and business owners to test duct leakage, refrigerant charge and in some cases airflow and energy use.  HERS verifications are also needed to complete building permits in certain cases.  If you don't know which verifications you need, give us a call at 1-800-597-7153 and we can walk you through the process.

On January 1st, 2010 new Title 24, building code standards came into effect.  HERS ratings are required in certain climate zones now, and will be required in all climate zones in the next code cycle. According to the California Energy Commission, the average duct system leaks 30% in CA homes.  So if you are a home owner you want to make sure your system is not leaking and as a contractor you can tell customers that duct leakage will be verified by a third party to ensure quality.

HERS IIHERS_Index_web

HERS II Rater is the title for a Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Whole House Energy Rater.  A HERS II rater takes a standarized approach to model a home with computer software after diagnostically testing and measuring the home.  CalRATEPro is the computer software used to generate your HERS index score.  Pictured to the right is a HERS Index and a New Home would score 100 and the closer to 0 the less energy a home uses.

HERS II Rating uses the only state approved protocals and software that generates a list of cost effective energy improvements that will pay for themselves through lower energy bills. This clearly identifys what investments into your home will be cost effective.
