What is HERS?
HERS stands for Home Energy Rating System, a California program designed to help ensure homes are built or upgraded with energy efficiency, comfort, and long-term savings in mind. Certified HERS Raters provide independent testing and verification to confirm that homes and HVAC systems meet California’s Title 24 energy-efficiency standards.
For new builds, remodels, or HVAC replacements, a HERS inspection is a required part of the process. These inspections help homeowners, builders, and HVAC professionals ensure the job is done correctly, prevent energy loss, and avoid unnecessary utility costs or code issues down the road.
At Ironheart HERS Raters, we take a supportive, educational approach working as a trusted partner to homeowners, builders, and contractors. Our goal is to make the process smooth and transparent, while providing accurate testing and guidance so every home performs at its best. We’re here to protect your comfort, your investment, and the environment with integrity and care.
When your home runs efficiently, it brings greater comfort, savings, and peace of mind for years to come.
