What is duct leakage testing?

Duct leakage testing verifies that an HVAC duct system is properly sealed and not losing excessive air. This testing is often required for HVAC changeouts, alterations, additions, and permit closeout.

What is ECC/HERS testing?

ECC/HERS testing verifies that certain energy-related systems and construction features meet California energy compliance requirements. This may include duct testing, airflow, fan watt draw, refrigerant charge verification, QII, and other required measures depending on the project.

When do I need HERS testing?

HERS testing is commonly required for HVAC replacements, new construction, additions, alterations, and other projects where California energy code requires third-party verification.

What is QII?

QII stands for Quality Insulation Installation. It is an inspection process that verifies insulation has been installed correctly and meets applicable Title 24 energy compliance requirements.

What is Fan Watt Draw testing?

Fan Watt Draw testing measures how much electrical power the HVAC blower fan uses while moving air. This helps verify system efficiency and compliance with applicable energy requirements.
