spring cleaning, wiping off table top
March 6, 2020

It’s the beginning of not just a new year, but a new decade. Are you planning big things for your home this year? Perhaps you are hoping to finally upgrade your heating and cooling system for energy savings and increased comfort. Or maybe you are planning to sell your current house, and preparing the plans for the new construction of your dream home.

Whatever your plans are for the spring of 2020, make sure to include HERS testing to stay compliant with California’s energy codes!

Why Now Is the Time to Schedule a HERS Test

The energy compliance guidelines set forth by California’s Title 24 energy code and the California Energy Commission (CEC) require that any change to insulation, air sealing, or heating and cooling equipment is properly verified by a Home Energy Ratings System (HERS) test. A HERS test will verify both the efficiency of the equipment you are installing as well as its proper installation. 

The CEC also requires that a home has a HERS inspection before it can be sold, to help protect homebuyers from hidden underlying home performance issues, and to keep more homes up to the Title 24 California code of regulations. So, setting your plans to get your Title 24 report finished at the beginning of the year can save you time down the line!

Worried your home may have fallen out of compliance? We Green has been in the business of home energy rating services for over a decade. We know what it will take to get your home or business compliant from the get go, so you don’t have to waste time and money scheduling multiple test dates and Title 24 calculations.

We will then put together a plan based on your particular code compliance needs, provide you with any consulting advice you may need in order to make sure you pass your compliance test the first time, and then we will complete your HERS test.
