Title 24 verification, handled from test to registry.

ECC is the current field-verification program name under the 2025 Energy Code. “HERS test” remains the familiar industry term.

Requirements depend on the building type, permit date, project scope, compliance approach, and approved documents. Many new residential projects and HVAC alterations include field-verification measures; the registered compliance documents identify what applies to a specific job.

Review the CF1R and registered project documents. Send us those documents, the permit, scope, and address so we can confirm the applicable verification forms.

Some projects require local mechanical exhaust verification under CF3R-MCH-32-H. The installed hood must be accessible and operational for airflow and applicable sound or label checks.

They can be included in local mechanical exhaust verification when required by the project documents.

Independent third-party verification protects the integrity of testing and prevents the installer from grading its own work.

Construction and HVAC work should be complete for the scheduled stage, equipment operating, filters installed, registers accessible, and required documents available.

Indoor and outdoor equipment, all supply and return registers, thermostats, electrical disconnects, and applicable attic, crawl-space, envelope, or exhaust locations.

Many single-system inspections take approximately one to two hours. Larger homes, multiple systems, QII, envelope work, and multiple measures require more time.

An authorized adult must provide access unless access has been arranged with the contractor or another responsible person.

We explain the failed measured item. The responsible installer performs corrections, and the affected measure is retested when ready.

No. We verify and document independently; we do not sell equipment or perform the repairs we inspect.

CF1R is the Certificate of Compliance, CF2R is the Certificate of Installation, and CF3R is the Certificate of Verification completed for applicable ECC measures.

Signatures depend on the document and role. Responsible designers, installers, responsible persons, and ECC raters sign the documents assigned to their work.

CHEERS is a CEC-approved ECC Provider that supports certified raters and operates an approved residential data registry.

Send the available CalCERTS records, address, permit, and current status. The project may need to be re-established through the current CHEERS workflow.

Some measures can; stage-sensitive QII, air sealing, duct, and envelope inspections may not be verifiable once concealed. Contact us before covering work.

Some existing systems may qualify for specific exceptions or alternative documentation. Eligibility depends on the actual system and applicable Part 6 requirements.

No. It applies when identified by the project’s compliance approach and documents.

Yes, within our scope. We review the available permit and compliance records to identify missing field verification and registry steps.

Yes. We support single projects and ongoing contractor workflows with organized intake, scheduling, testing, and status communication.

Full address including unit, permit number and date, project scope, CF1R documents, contractor and responsible-installer details, billing contact, and preferred appointment window.

Timing depends on passing results, complete project information, required signatures, and registry readiness. We identify missing items rather than promising an inaccurate deadline.

No. ECC verification supports Part 6 compliance; the local enforcement agency controls inspections, final approval, and permit closure.
