What is HERS? 

The Home Energy Rating System (HERS) started in the 1990's as a standardized method to "score" a homes energy consumption/performance.  HERS is now utilized by building departments to provide specialized tests on HVAC systems such as a duct leakage test, refrigerant charge measurement, airflow and fan watt draw.  HERS is also important in the New Solar Homes Partnership (NSHP) program to verify energy efficiency and solar electric systems.

 

We also provide:

-Air Balancing (checking the airflow in each room)

-Carbon Monoxide Testing and LOW LEVEL Carbon Monoxide Alarms

-Solar Verification

HERS rating for Heating & A/C Jobs

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 most cases to at least verify duct leakage or refrigerant charge.  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.
