What is a HERS Project Transfer Form and Why is it Important?

If you’re building or remodeling in California, you’ve likely heard the term HERS Project Transfer Form—but what does it actually mean, and why does it matter? At Alternative Energy Systems (AES), we help clients navigate Title 24 compliance from start to finish, including properly managing HERS registration and transfers between professionals or providers.
What is a HERS Project Transfer Form?
A HERS Project Transfer Form is an official document used to transfer responsibility for a project’s Home Energy Rating System (HERS) registration from one provider or technician to another. Whether you’re switching consultants, changing subcontractors, or revising compliance pathways mid-project, this form ensures all data, test results, and compliance responsibilities are correctly reassigned and tracked.
It is typically submitted to the California HERS registry (like CHEERS or CalCERTS) and must be signed by both the releasing and receiving parties to take effect.
Why It’s Important for California Title 24 Projects
Without this form, your project could hit a wall. Permits may be held up, energy credits delayed, or compliance verification invalidated. If a HERS rater begins testing but another firm completes the job, this form keeps your project in legal and procedural compliance with California Energy Commission guidelines.
At AES, we ensure all HERS documentation—including transfers—is properly filed, accurate, and ready to support your final sign-off or certificate of occupancy.

FAQ: HERS Project Transfer Form California
- What is a HERS Project Transfer Form?
It’s a document used to officially transfer responsibility for a HERS-registered project to another individual or company. - Why would a project need to be transferred?
If the original HERS rater is unavailable, if the project team changes, or if you’re switching energy consultants mid-project. - Who signs the form?
Both the current HERS provider and the receiving provider or rater must sign it before it’s accepted by the registry. - What registries require it?
Most commonly CHEERS and CalCERTS, the two main HERS registries used in California. - Can this delay my project?
If not completed correctly, yes. It can delay inspection, permit approval, or even close-out of your Title 24 documentation. - Can AES handle the submission?
Yes. We help clients complete and submit the form to ensure smooth registry updates. - Do I need a new Title 24 report after the transfer?
Sometimes. If the system specs or test results change, AES will revise and resubmit your report. - Is this form required by law?
It’s required by HERS registry protocols, which are governed by the California Energy Commission. So yes—it’s mandatory in many cases. - What happens if I skip this step?
Your project may fail final inspection, lose energy credits, or have to repeat testing with a new provider. - Can AES become my new HERS provider?
Absolutely. We can accept transferred projects and complete all testing, verification, and documentation moving forward.
