HERS Energy Raters LLC provides HERS energy ratings, RESchecks, and residential energy-code testing for builders and project teams across eastern Massachusetts. Its website describes the company as a third-party certifier helping clients meet energy-code requirements, and identifies RESNET as the governing certification body. Recent Google reviews consistently praise Tom Barnes for responsiveness, clear communication, code knowledge, and practical guidance. Builders describe his work on new-construction homes, apartment buildings, and single-family projects, including pre-permit planning, final inspections, blower-door testing, and helping teams meet local energy-code requirements. The strongest fit is a builder, developer, or homeowner navigating a new-build energy rating or RESCheck rather than a general home-repair project. Confirm project scope, timing, and fees directly before booking, especially when requesting specification changes or reviews outside the standard rating process.
