FAQ Content
Q: What is a HERS Rating?
A HERS (Home Energy Rating System) score is the industry standard for measuring a home's energy efficiency. A score of 100 represents a standard reference home, and lower scores indicate greater efficiency. A score of 70 means the home is 30% more efficient than the baseline.
Q: Who needs a HERS Rating?
Builders seeking Energy Star certification, lenders requiring energy documentation, homeowners applying for energy-efficient mortgages, and anyone building to modern energy code requirements typically needs a HERS Rating.
Q: What is a RESNET Certified Energy Rater?
A RESNET Certified Energy Rater is a trained professional accredited by the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET) to evaluate a home's energy performance and produce official HERS Index scores recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy.
Q: What states does Certified Energy Raters serve?
Certified Energy Raters serves builders and homeowners across 30+ states, including the Midwest, South, Northeast, and select Western states including Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. We also provide referrals in states where direct service is not available.
Q: What is Blower Door Testing?
A Blower Door Test measures how airtight a home is by depressurizing the structure and quantifying air leakage. It is required for Energy Star certification and many state energy codes, and helps identify areas of the home where insulation or sealing improvements are needed.
Q: What is a Duct Blaster Test?
A Duct Blaster Test measures how much conditioned air is lost through leaks in a home's duct system. Leaky ducts can waste 20–30% of a home's heating and cooling energy. This test is required for many certification programs.
Q: What is a ResCheck report?
A ResCheck report is an energy compliance document required by many building departments to demonstrate that a new home or addition meets the residential energy code requirements of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC).
Q: What is a ComCheck report?
A ComCheck report is the commercial equivalent of ResCheck — an energy compliance document demonstrating that a commercial building meets the applicable energy code requirements for envelope, lighting, and mechanical systems.
Q: What is a Manual J Calculation?
A Manual J Calculation is the industry-standard method for determining a home's heating and cooling load. It is required by most building codes to properly size HVAC equipment and avoid systems that are oversized or undersized.
Q: What is Energy Star certification for homes?
Energy Star for Homes is a U.S. EPA program certifying that a home meets strict energy efficiency guidelines. Certified homes are typically 10–20% more efficient than standard new homes. Certification requires third-party testing and verification by a RESNET Certified Rater.
Q: Do you provide energy services for modular and manufactured homes?
Yes. Certified Energy Raters offers a dedicated Modular Plant Quality Assurance Program, providing HERS ratings and Energy Star certification services specifically designed for modular home manufacturers and their production facilities.
Q: How do I order a ResCheck, ComCheck, or Manual J report?
