Required vs Optional

Work requires being  properly permitted and HERS tested.

Your contractor will be able to explain permitting requirements. HERS testing should be part of this discussion.

​

All California homeowners and contractors are required to comply with the requirements of the California Code of Regulations Title 24, Part 6, Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings to meet the state’s energy goals and requirements.

​

Additionally, homeowners in California are required to schedule a HERS testing whenever a new mechanical system that requires verification or testing is installed in their home. This is part of Title 24, Part 6 of the HERS Program formed by the California Energy Commission to differentiate the energy efficiency levels among California homes and guide investment in cost-effective home energy efficiency measures.
