Why California Is Transitioning From HERS to ECC (And What It Means for Your Project) If you’ve worked in California HVAC or residential construction, you’ve likely heard the term HERS testing for years. Beginning January 1, 2026, that familiar language is changing. California is officially transitioning from the HERS Program to the Energy Code Compliance…
See below for common questions and answers.
ECC stands for Energy code Compliance. An ECC rater is certified to perform Title 24 testing and inspections required for residential and new construction HVAC projects in California.
Title 24 testing is required to verify that HVAC installations meet California energy efficiency and safety standards. These tests are typically needed for new systems, system replacements, and certain alterations before a project can be finalized or signed off.
Yes. Duct cleaning removes dust, debris, and construction material that can accumulate inside ductwork over time. It is often recommended after construction, renovations, or when buildup is visible, and airflow is affected.
Most dryer vents should be cleaned every 1–2 years, or sooner if drying times increase, airflow is restricted, or lint buildup is visible. Regular cleaning helps restore proper airflow and reduces fire risk caused by lint accumulation.
In addition to ECC Title 24 testing, Compliance Matters supports projects with permit coordination, documentation review, and compliance-related services that help move jobs through final approval. We can pull permits on behalf of contractors and homeowners, coordinate required testing, and assist with closeout items tied to inspections.
Our goal is to reduce delays, prevent missed steps, and simplify the overall compliance process from start to final sign-off.
Yes. We work directly with homeowners when needed, explaining requirements clearly and handling testing, cleaning, and permit coordination professionally—so there’s no confusion during the process.
