Why HERS Testing Matters in Orange County

California’s Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards are strict. Cities across Orange County, from Irvine and Anaheim to Newport Beach, will not close out permits for most HVAC projects or new homes without certified, independent HERS test results.

Whether you're a homeowner stressed about your new A/C permit, an HVAC contractor juggling multiple jobs, or a builder focused on the final inspection, our certified HERS testing is the key to a smooth, compliant project. We provide the independent, third-party verification that city inspectors demand, ensuring you avoid costly rework and keep your project on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about HERS testing and Title 24 compliance. Still have questions? We're here to help.

  • What is HERS Testing and why do I need it?

    HERS (Home Energy Rating System) is a series of state-mandated energy efficiency verifications performed by a certified, third-party HERS Rater. You need it to prove your project complies with California's Title 24 energy code, which is required to close out most HVAC and new construction permits in Orange County.

  • Do I need HERS testing for my HVAC permit in Orange County?

    In almost all cases, yes. Replacing your A/C, furnace, or ductwork triggers the Title 24 requirement for tests like Duct Leakage and Refrigerant Charge. Without these verified results, your project will not pass final inspection.

  • How fast can you come out for a test?

    We can often schedule a test within 24–48 hours. We understand that permit deadlines are critical and prioritize projects with active inspections or urgent timelines.

  • What happens if my system fails the HERS test?

    We provide a clear diagnostic report explaining the cause of the failure. We then consult with you or your contractor on the best way to fix it. Once the fix is complete, we return quickly for a re-test to get your project approved.
