Established Title 24 Testing in Citrus Heights, CA

Replacing the furnace, coil, or condenser triggers duct testing, even when the ducts themselves stay put. Decades-old ducts in hot attics often leak well past the allowed limit.

A failed test means sealing work your customer didn't budget for. We can test before the install, so you can quote sealing before the job starts.

Some older homes have duct wrap or sealant that may contain asbestos. The Energy Commission allows certain tests, like duct leakage, to be exempted when asbestos is present or suspected.

Handling it wrong can expose your crew or stall the permit. We document the condition properly, so the exemption is recorded and the rest of the verification moves forward.

Since January 2026, a failed ECC test keeps the project with that rater until it passes. On a small changeout, a slow rater can stretch a one-day job into weeks.

That ties up your crew and delays final payment. Our rater schedules retests quickly, so a failed duct test gets fixed and closed within days.

Homeowners have the right to hire an independent rater instead of the one their contractor uses. Some ask for it after hearing about the switch from HERS to ECC.

When that happens, coordination slips and finals drag. We work directly with homeowners when needed, so your customer feels informed and your job still closes on time.
