What is a BER Certificate?

A BER (Building Energy Rating) Certificate indicates the energy performance in your property.  It is very similar to the energy label used for your household appliances.

The BER Certificate rates the energy performance of your property on a scale from A to G.

A property with an A rating is the most energy-efficient and can therefore have lower energy bills.  Properties with a G rating are the least energy-efficient indicating they may have higher energy bills.

A BER is compulsory for all homes and properties both commercial and residential.

How is a BER Calculated?

Your BER is calculated through energy use for space and hot water heating, ventilation, and lighting.

The number of people likely to occupy a building is also taken into account. This is based on the average number of occupants in buildings of a similar size.

A BER is carried out by specially trained BER assessors, registered by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI). Our in-house Engineers are experienced and experts in BER Assessments.

The price for our BER service starts at €175 excluding VAT.

Preparing for your BER

It’s important to prepare for your BER assessment before the Assessor visits your home.  You will need some documentary evidence for works done on your home.  This will ensure you get the most accurate BER rating.

We have put together a checklist below to help you prepare.

    This number can be found on a recent electricity bill. You will also need your Eircode.

    Drawings, plans or specifications of the house along with the age of any extensions added. The deeds of the property will show the age of the dwelling.
  • Details of Upgrade Works to the house
