Home Energy Rating System Providers

Home Energy Rating System (HERS) providers are approved by the California Energy Commission (CEC) to train and certify raters. Providers maintain a database of raters who are qualified to verify the work of licensed heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) contractors.

HERS providers are approved to train and oversee raters conducting HERS verification in residential and nonresidential newly constructed buildings, additions, and alterations; the New Solar Homes Partnership Program; and to conduct California whole-house home energy ratings.

To find a rater, contact one of the HERS providers shown below. Each provider is approved to perform specific services.
