HERS Testing Requirement – Title 20 & 24 Complaiance
For new construction or alterations to existing HVAC Systems, California Law, Title 24 and 20, requires homeowners and builders to get HERS Rating. Not only is this a requirement to open and close your building permit, it also guides homeowners and builders to take necessary measures towards building a more energy efficient home. A HERS Test is then needed to obtain your permit to make sure that you took the necessary measures which were listed on your CF1R form. Sacramento Home Energy Efficiency Systems is one of the most trusted companies to offer professional HERS Raters to test your home or commercial building in Sacramento and surrounding areas, such as Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom, El Dorado Hills, other suburbs. Over time, we have developed expertise for helping builders, contractors, and home owners save time by completing CF1R, CF2R, and CF3R forms and professionaly do the required tests to open and close the permits. Not only do we help you open and close your building permit, but the results of different HERS Tests can help you save energy and save thousands on your energy bill with the utility company.Duct Leakage Test
A duct system test is a mandatory test in all climate zones to obtain your building permit. During the duct testing, all the supply registers are sealed by our HERS Rater. The Minneapolis Systems Duct Blaster Tester, that we use, forces air through the duct system under pressure and the Manometer measures the airflow at different locations within the system. By comparing the pressures and flow rates, the duct test is able to determine the total amount of leakage in the system. If the leakage is below the allowed leakage prescribed by the manufacturer of the HVAC System, the test is a pass and your system is efficiently working. If it does not pass then the homeowner or the installer would have to seal the leaks in the duct. air flow is then measured at different points throughout the system, and any reductions in force or air flow indicate the presence of a leak. We offer Duct Blaster Test for HERS Rating in Sacramento. Our raters also offer HERS Duct Blaster Leak Test in all the Sacramento suburbs like Roseville, Folsom. We even offer the Duct Blaster Leak Test in San Francisco, Concord, Berkeley, the entire Bay Area, and most cities in California.
Air Flow Test
The test is needed when specifications of a cooling system is changed or a new system is installed. It is also conducted when over 75% of ducts are replaced. The air flow test is performed by Air Flow Hood, plenum pressure matching, or measuring the airflow with the TEC Flow Grid. The test determines if your system has enough air flow in it to wrk efficientely, thus, the air flow must be above a nominal air flow prescribed by the manufacturer. We offer Air Flow test with Air Flow Capture Hood in Sacramento, suburbs like Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom etc… Our HERS Raters also perform Air Flow HEERS test in San Francisco, Concord, the entire Bay Area, and most cities in California.Blower Door Test
The Blower Door HERS Test checks the amount of air the interior of the building leaks to the exterior. The more the leakage, the more condtioned air a building would loose, thus, costing the home or commercial building owner more money to heat or cool the interior. Our HERS Rater can perform the Blower Door Test with Minneapolis Blower Door machine, the leakage must be less than the number generated on the CF1R form to pass. The Blower Door test is not only required to be performed to obtain your building permit, but it will also help you save thousands of dollars on the energy bill by addressing and fixing the leakage spot. Our HERS Raters offer the Blower Door Test in Sacramento, suburbs of Sacramento like Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom, El Dorado Hills, and more… We also offer the Blower Door Test in San Francisco, San Jose, Concord, the Marin County cities like San Rafael, Sausalito, and North Bay Area cities like Napa, Sonoma, Santa Rosa, and most major cities in California.
Air Balacing
To commission a ventilation system or a forced-air heating system, or to troubleshoot problems with these systems, it is essential to be able to measure the rate of air flow through registers and grilles. By performing an air flow test, our HERS rater will be able to confirm if the air is circulating through the whole conditioned space as it needs to, and suggest corrections (such as air balancing).Refrigerent Test
The Refrigerant test makes sure the levels and pressure of the refrigerant charged in your HVAC equipment are sustainable to a high-functioning, efficient system. The test measures the superheat and sub-cooling temperatures, which can tell us if the system is low on refrigerent or not. We offer Refrigerant Test in Sacramento, suburbs like Roseville, Rocklin, El Dorado Hills, & others… Our professional HERS raters also offer Refrigerent HERS Test in San Francisco, in Marin County like San Rafael, Belvedere, Napa, and the entire Bay Area. We also offer Refrigerent HERS Test in most California citie like Los Angeles, Fresno, Chico, Redding etc…
