Water heaters play a critical role in California’s energy code. Whether you’re installing a traditional tank-style heater or switching to a high-efficiency tankless model, Title 24 Water Heaters compliance is essential for permitting your residential or commercial project. At Alternative Energy Systems (AES), we provide fast, accurate Title 24 compliance reports that include all required water heater documentation to ensure plan approval.

California’s Building Energy Efficiency Standards set minimum efficiency requirements for gas, electric, and heat pump water heaters. Our Title 24 reports take your system specifications—fuel type, number of units, control systems, and recirculation strategies—and model them into your building’s overall energy performance. The result? A clear, permit-ready CF-1R form that passes city and county review.
