Why Builders, Architects and Homeowners Use Rescheck Review
Choose and Energy Code Partner, not just a sofware provider. Our expertise is your assurance.
Certified HERS Raters
HERS certification is the most rigorous credential in residential energy efficiency. We model your house the way a plans examiner expects to see it, so your report gets accepted the first time and you're not stuck waiting
on a correction.
30+ Years Combined Experience
We've seen most of the ways a building envelope fails code. We catch them on paper, before they turn into a change order on the job site.
IECC Documentation Experts
We work the Total UA Alternative and UA trade-off paths in the IECC. That gives you room to use the materials you want, like 2x4 walls in a cold climate, and still pass, often for less than the prescriptive path would cost.

What Is a REScheck?
REScheck is the Department of Energy's code compliance software for homes. It runs a U-factor x area (UA) calculation on every part of the building envelope (ceilings, walls, floors, windows and doors) and compares the total heat loss to the same house built exactly to code. If your house loses no more heat than the code version, it passes.
That's what makes trade-offs possible. You can add attic insulation to cover a window package that misses the prescriptive U-factor, and the report shows the building department the whole house still meets the IECC.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Rescheck, Manual J, Manual S and/or Comcheck Cost?
REScheck: $70 up to 5,000 sq ft, $129 for 5,001–6,000 sq ft. Manual J: $129 up to 6,000 sq ft. Manual S: $89 up to 6,000 sq ft. REScheck + Manual J: $189 up to 5,000 sq ft, $239 for 5,001–6,000 sq ft. REScheck + Manual J + Manual S: $279 up to 5,000 sq ft, $319 for 5,001–6,000 sq ft. Homes over 6,000 sq ft are priced by size on the order page. Residential prices include the 3% processing fee. COMcheck: $139 up to 3,000 sq ft, $189 up to 6,000, $279 up to 9,000, $379 up to 12,000, and $479 up to 15,000. Those prices cover all three COMcheck reports (envelope, lighting and mechanical). If you only need one or two, call me. Over 15,000 sq ft or complex plans get a custom quote.
How fast will I get my report(s)?
Most reports are done within hours of your order. Complete plans are the biggest factor. If something's missing, I'll reach out so it doesn't sit. COMchecks take longer, so plan on 1–2 business days.
What do I need to send you?
Floor plans with square footage, window and door sizes, insulation R-values if you have them, and the project address. If you don't know every spec, I can usually work from standard code assumptions. Here's the full checklist.
What is a REScheck?
A REScheck is the energy code compliance report most building departments want before they'll issue a residential permit. It shows your insulation, windows and doors meet the IECC for your climate zone. It's built in the Department of Energy's REScheck-Web software. See the full REScheck requirements guide.
Do I need a Manual J too?
Sometimes. A REScheck covers the building envelope. A Manual J sizes the heating and cooling equipment. Many jurisdictions want both for new construction and additions, and some only ask for the REScheck. If your building department mentions HVAC sizing or load calculations, you need the Manual J. More on what a Manual J is.
Do I need a Manual S?
If your building department asks for one, yes, and more of them are asking. The residential code (IRC M1401.3) says heating and cooling equipment has to be sized per ACCA Manual S, based on the Manual J loads. A Manual J tells you how much heating and cooling the house needs. A Manual S proves the specific unit you picked can deliver it at your local design conditions, because a "3-ton" unit doesn't always deliver 3 tons. If your permit mentions equipment selection, AHRI ratings or Manual S, you need one. It's $89, or $279 bundled with a REScheck and Manual J. More on what a Manual S is.
What if any of my reports gets rejected?
If the building department asks for a correction on a report we prepared, one revision is included. If someone else did your report and it got kicked back, we can fix that too.
Does my state use REScheck?
Most states that follow the IECC accept REScheck, but the code year varies by state and sometimes by city. California uses Title 24 instead, and Florida uses its own state energy forms. Find your state.
Can a homeowner order a REScheck?
Yes. Homeowners, builders, contractors and architects all order from us.
