ERE Inspections is a CHEERS-certified HERS / ECC Rating provider serving Los Angeles County, Orange County, and the Inland Empire from our Redondo Beach office. Pass / fail and supporting numbers in your inbox the day of the test, at no additional charge.
Duct leakage, refrigerant charge, cooling coil airflow, and fan efficacy testing per California Title 24. CHEERS-certified raters. Same-day field results. CF1R, CF2R, and CF3R prepared and registered with CHEERS, at no additional charge.
HERS-verified QII per California Title 24 (RA3.5). We check your insulation and air barrier — walls, ceilings, attic, floors, headers, and penetrations — before the drywall goes up, then sign and register it for your CF3R.
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing permits pulled and city coordination managed. We know the LA, OC, and Inland Empire building departments by name. Cleaner submittals, fewer correction cycles, faster permits.
We coordinate the final inspection with the city inspector and the homeowner, brief the homeowner on what the inspector will check, hand off the HERS test and permit packet, and confirm closeout once it is signed off. Single-story ladder dropped in the morning when roof or attic access is needed.

This company far exceeded my expectations. All the staff are extremely knowledgeable and professional.
Anthony is excellent at what he does, and most importantly, he does what he says he will do. I would recommend ERE to anyone who needs a HERS test or permit help.
Roman was efficient, well priced, on time, and approachable. Made the Title 24 work on my ADU painless.
Short answers to what homeowners and contractors ask us most. Schema markup is embedded so AI search engines can quote these answers directly.
HERS and ECC Rating refer to the same California Title 24 verification program. The California Energy Commission renamed HERS (Home Energy Rating System) to ECC (Energy Code Compliance) to avoid confusion with the federal RESNET HERS Index, which is a different national rating. Most homeowners and contractors still say HERS. We do both. They are the same service.
We deliver pass / fail and the supporting numbers the day of the test, then prepare and register the CF3R with CHEERS. CF1R, CF2R, and CF3R forms are included at no additional charge.
Title 24, Part 6 of the California Code of Regulations is the state's Building Energy Efficiency Standards. The minimum energy-performance rules for new construction, additions, and alterations. The California Energy Commission (CEC) updates the code on a three-year cycle.
For most projects: duct leakage testing, refrigerant charge verification, cooling coil airflow testing, and fan efficacy testing. Required tests vary by scope of work and climate zone. ERE includes CF1R, CF2R, and CF3R form preparation and CHEERS registration at no additional charge.
A typical residential field visit is 1 to 2 hours on average. We deliver pass / fail and the underlying numbers the same day. The signed CF3R is registered with CHEERS.
No. We bring our own single-story ladders and field-test equipment to every site. You do not need to stage anything in advance. We arrive ready to test, including roof and attic access where required.
The CF1R is the Certificate of Compliance for Title 24 residential projects. It documents the energy features the building was designed and permitted to include, and is submitted with the permit application. Companion forms are the CF2R (installation) and CF3R (HERS / ECC field verification). ERE prepares and registers all three at no additional fee.
Most permitted alterations trigger Title 24 requirements. Window replacements, insulation, HVAC changes, water-heater swaps, and lighting upgrades all have prescriptive or performance obligations under the code. The specifics depend on scope and climate zone. Call us with your plans and we will tell you what is required.
