CalRATERS, Inc.

CalRATERS, Inc. offers a variety of services that are designed to meet the energy needs of residential clients in the entire Bay Area. In addition to providing home energy audits and testing, the family-owned and operated company helps navigate issues with high energy bills, inefficient heating and air conditioning equipment, poor insulation, hot and cold spots, leaky ductwork, leaks within the envelope of a home, drafty areas, and much more.

CalRATERS works with state programs to help homeowners make educated decisions about energy upgrades to their homes. “Many homeowners have energy-related concerns, but they don’t know the first place to start when it comes to finding a solution,” says co-owner Marty Kerr. “We help them by getting the work done with the best contractors and even applying for any rebates that may be available.”

CalRATERS takes a whole-home approach to every project, which allows it to provide each homeowner with an in-depth analysis of their home’s energy usage. “An energy audit should be the first step a homeowner takes before making any energy upgrades,” says Marty. “It will give them the information they need to know which upgrades to prioritize as well as which upgrades will give them the biggest return on investment.”
