As a sole operator, I genuinely value the support HERA provides.
I originally joined HERA as they are a one stop shop with support, insurance, CPD and accreditation all in one package. Having stayed with them now for several years I have valued the personal fast response helping me with professional guidance, industry expertise and a network of knowledgeable people. I highly recommend HERA to other energy assessors looking for a supportive and professional industry association.

Energy Assessor
I can confidently say that HERA is easily the best.
Over 26 years as a company director in the energy efficiency industry, I’ve been accredited with Design Matters, ABSA and HERA. Both myself and the four other assessors in our office are accredited through HERA. Their quality assurance audits never feel like an interrogation. They genuinely work alongside you as a supportive partner. I highly recommend HERA to any assessor looking for a reliable, supportive and practical accreditation organisation.
Ian Zappala
Director, Energy Rating Consulting
I hold my accreditation through HERA and the support has been great.
Whether I’ve phoned or emailed with questions I’ve always had a prompt response. Where an answer is not immediately clear they will always let me know and get back to me as soon as they have a solution. Training and CPD resources are practical and up to date. When you’re out on the coal-face trying to help your clients navigate compliance pathways in a way that suits their build / budget it is always good to know you have a solid backing! I would happily recommend HERA to anyone looking to get accredited as an energy rater.
