How We Started
DuctTesters is a top quality energy consulting and third-party verification company. Established because of a tremendous disconnect between the developer/builders and their trade contractors, as related to Title 24 Part 6 compliance. We have been working to close that gap by training and educating within the industries. This is beneficial so everyone can work together on accomplishing the common goal of building a superior product. We take pride in helping the trades involved to understand what their contribution is and how it fits into the larger picture. Our passion is to deliver top quality energy consulting services.
Who Are We
DuctTesters is a team of top quality energy consultants, certified third-party verifiers and professional personnel. Our team of Certified Energy Analysts are dedicated to quality work. Our HERS Raters (Certified Home Energy Rating System) make sure that the energy features proposed on paper are what actually gets installed during the construction process. Behind the scenes is a friendly professional team that supports it all and is eager to please our clients. Not only do they handle all the paperwork, but they attend industry training too. This ensures they can handle the industry jargon and all the tough questions. The priority throughout the company is to always deliver top quality energy consulting and third-party verification services.
