Duct Pressure TestThis is a method that HERS raters use to pressurize the ducting in a house or business that will determine if there are any leaks. Studies indicate that duct leakage can account for a total of 25% of home energy loss! Duct leakage can prevent air conditioning and heating systems from doing their jobs properly. Even worse than energy loss, leaking ducts pull dust and other harmful irritants into the home.
This test is to verify that the proper amount of air flow is going to the cooling unit. If proper air flow is not going to the cooling coils, ice build up will occur in the coils. This can lead to compressor failure. We do this test when the air conditioning unit has been installed or serviced on so it will prevent any future problems.
RCA Verification(Refrigerant Charge and Airflow)
The RCA test is done by using a system computer that will provide information needed to determine if new air conditioning systems were installed properly. If the RCA verification test was not available, many new AC systems could not be operating at the efficacy level that is was intended to operate at. Fan Watt DrawA simple test that is preformed on new systems or new duct work. This helps in determining if the system in your home or business is performing at the top ability is was made to perform at.

Air BalancingAir Balancing is done to test, adjust and perfect the air flow through your entire home or business. We want to make sure each room is getting the proper amount of cooling and heating so your HVAC system is not only working properly but also saving you money.
Refrigerant ChargeA refrigerant charge and airflow tune-up is an analysis and correction of your cooling and duct system. The analysis determines two things:
• Whether or not the cooling system has the correct amount of refrigerant “charge” needed to cool your home or business on warm days • Whether airflow through the duct system is effective and adequate. (The duct system delivers cool air into different rooms and workspaces through supply ducts and returns circulating air to the cooling coil).

Services
HERS raters/testers are special inspectors certified by the California Energy Commission (CEC) to rates homes in California according to the Home Energy Rating System (HERS). These ratings include field verification and diagnostic testing to determine energy efficiency levels among residential and commercial buildings for duct efficiency, envelope leakage, refrigerant charge verification, and building insulation for compliance with current building efficiency standards.
