HERS stands for Home Energy Rating System. A HERS Rater is a third-party professional certified by the California Energy Commission to perform a series of tests that verify your HVAC system is installed correctly and operating at peak performance.

The HERS duct leakage test is a pressure test that measures the amount of air escaping from your duct system.

Why It Matters: Leaky ducts can waste up to 30% of your HVAC system’s energy output. This means your system has to work harder and longer, leading to higher utility bills and a shorter lifespan for your equipment.

Code Compliance: This testing is a required part of the California Building Energy Efficiency Standards for many HVAC installations.

Your Guarantee: By having our work HERS verified, we provide you with a third-party guarantee that your duct system is sealed tight, delivering conditioned air where it belongs and maximizing your system’s efficiency.
