Why the HERS Check Matters for Your Rebate
HERS is the Home Energy Rating System. State code requires a HERS rater to check refrigerant charge and airflow on new heat pumps. SMUD also needs a passed HERS report before rebate funds release. Skipping this step can kill the rebate even when the equipment qualifies. Fresh Air sets up the HERS rater on every qualifying job.
