HECS delivers 45L Tax Credit Certification across IL — the entire Illinois territory. We are an NCI-certified, Louisville-Kentucky-headquartered testing firm operating since 2009, with field teams that routinely travel to every metro area in Illinois for projects large and small.
This page is the IL hub for 45L Tax Credit Certification. From here you can jump to any IL city landing page, our 45L Tax Credit Certification service detail page, and the underlying code / certification framework we follow across all IL projects.
HECS delivers 45L Tax Credit Certification across every metro area in IL, including the cities listed at the top of this page. Most IL projects are completed within 4-8 weeks of engagement letter.
HECS quotes every project on a fixed-fee basis after a free scoping call. Cost depends on building size, project complexity, and program requirements. Travel cost is quoted up front. Call (859) 983-7382 or email hecs@hecsusa.com for a project-specific quote within 24 hours.
Yes. HECS field technicians hold RESNET Certified HERS Rater credentials (valid through December 2026) and operate as an IBHS FORTIFIED Home Evaluator, RESNET Certified HERS Rater, ENERGY STAR Multifamily Reviewer, NGBS Green Certified Verifier, and EarthCraft Certified Verifier. Every report is signed by a credentialed technician — never outsourced.
HECS verifies 45L Tax Credit Certification against the IL energy code, IL building code, and any local amendments. For LIHTC-funded multifamily, we coordinate with the state-specific housing finance agency (KHC / IHCDA / OHFA / THDA / IHDA depending on state) on certification requirements. References from IL code officials and CxA firms are available on request.
Call (859) 983-7382 or email hecs@hecsusa.com with your project type, building size, and inspection schedule. Within 24 hours you receive a fixed-fee proposal — not an estimate — with deliverables, schedule, and the credentials of the tech who will sign your report.
