Why Nashville property owners choose HECS for TAB

Local code officials, builders, developers, and program administrators across Tennessee trust HECS for third-party TAB.

  • NCI-certified field technicians — every HECS tech holds current NCI Certified Commercial Air Balancer credentials. The person who takes the readings is the person who signs your report.
  • Fixed-fee proposals in 24 hours — not estimates, not time-and-materials. We quote travel cost up front, so the invoice matches the proposal.
  • Reports that pass program review — ENERGY STAR, NGBS Green, EarthCraft, 45L IRS Form 8908, FORTIFIED IBHS submission, code-official review. We deliver in the format your reviewer needs.
  • Local code expertise — 2018 IBC with Tennessee amendments; 2018 IECC with Tennessee-specific amendments; THDA requires ENERGY STAR Multifamily or NGBS Green for LIHTC-funded multifamily developments.
  • One project manager for the whole job — TAB, blower door, energy cert, FORTIFIED: we coordinate scheduling so you make one phone call, not five.
