A HERS Rater (Home Energy Rating System) is a certified professional who evaluates the energy efficiency of a home. Working with a HERS Rater can help you optimize insulation, lower utility costs, and even qualify for tax incentives.
How the Process Works: 1. Pre-Construction Consultation: A HERS Rater assesses your project plans and recommends insulation strategies to improve efficiency (RESNET, 2024). 2. Insulation Installation: Choosing high-performance insulation (like Xcelus spray foam) helps achieve a better HERS score (Building Performance Institute, 2023). 3. Blower Door & Duct Testing: These tests measure air leakage and duct efficiency to identify any weak points in insulation (ENERGY STAR, 2024). 4. Final Energy Rating: After improvements, the HERS Rater provides a final score—lower scores mean better efficiency and cost savings (DOE, 2023).
Why This Matters:
A well-insulated home with a strong HERS score can qualify for rebates, increase property value, and drastically reduce heating and cooling costs.
At MV Insulation Solutions, we collaborate with HERS Raters and energy efficiency experts to help homeowners and builders maximize savings and sustainability.
