Built for Brockton
Know exactly where your Brockton home loses energy
For builders, a HERS rating is often how a new home shows it meets the Massachusetts energy code, especially in Stretch and Specialized code towns. Our raters work with you from plan review through final testing in Brockton.
For multifamily buildings, we test and rate units and help owners see where heat is lost between them.
Our crews travel roughly 34 miles from Westborough, MA to Brockton, and we group estimates and jobs by area to keep scheduling simple.

What Brockton homes need
Brockton has many early-1900s two- and three-family homes near downtown and mid-century capes, ranches and colonials on its outer streets.
Brockton's neighborhoods, from Campello and Montello to the West Side, were largely built during the city's shoe-manufacturing boom, which left many two- and three-family homes with uninsulated walls and drafty attics. Newer capes and ranches on the edges of the city often have thin attic insulation and leaky basement rim joists.
In Plymouth County, many older multifamily homes and post-war capes still rely on original insulation that is far below today's recommendations.

Climate zone 5A targets
In climate zone 5A, which includes Brockton, recommended attic levels are R-49 to R-60, well above what most homes built before the 1980s were given. New construction and major renovations in Massachusetts follow the state energy code, and many towns have adopted the stricter Stretch or Specialized codes.
