Do I need a HERS Rating?

Answer a few questions using our HERS Rating calculator to see if your Suffolk County, NY residential construction project might trigger the requirement for a HERS Rating.

 

Disclaimer:
Determining if a HERS rating is required is a nuanced process that requires an interpretation of rules from multiple municipalities along with a detailed analysis of the proposed work. This HERS Rating calculator is meant to provide an idea if a HERS might be required and is not a substitute for professional judgement as a result of reviewing all available facts and documentation. It is important to engage the right design professional early on to avoid any confusion or unnecessary delays later in the project. Feel free to send us a message or give a call and we would be happy to discuss your options with you.
