FAQs
Quick Answers to Your RESNET Questions
Who is this class intended for?
The course is ideal for home energy auditors, home inspectors, code officials, general contractors, HVAC technicians, weatherization contractors, and anyone who shares the belief that homes should be built with energy efficiency in mind right from the start.
Will I be certified after taking this course?
Not immediately, no. There are two parts to HERS Rater Certification - training/exams and quality assurance. This package satisfies the first part. You will still need to sign up for a membership with an approved RESNET Quality Assurance Provider. For more information, call us at (800) 460-2575. In general, it typically takes a candidate 6-8 months to complete all of the certification requirements.
Are there any additional expenses?
There is a fee for each QA rating review as well as an annual fee associated with your RESNET QA membership. Should you decide to start your own HERS rating business, you'll want to research liability insurance from Lockton Affinity and energy auditing equipment fees. Our students receive discounted rates on equipment from Retrotec, The Energy Conservatory, and TruTech Tools.
