About Rio Linda
Rio Linda is unincorporated Sacramento County with a housing stock built largely in the 1960s, 70s and 80s — well before modern energy standards. New equipment is often connected to legacy ductwork that undermines it, which is exactly why HVAC permits here regularly carry HERS measures.
What makes testing in Rio Linda different
Legacy duct systems
Flex duct from the 1970s and 80s degrades under decades of attic thermal cycling. A new high-efficiency condenser on a system losing 25% of its airflow performs like one that is 25% undersized.
Shorter equipment life
Systems that last 18–20 years in milder parts of California often reach end of life in 12–15 here, so replacement — and the HERS requirement that comes with it — arrives sooner.
County permit finaling
Sacramento County requires registered HERS documentation before an HVAC permit can be finaled. We register results and hand over the report before leaving.
