A Building Energy Rating (BER) certificate rates your home's energy performance on a scale between A and G. A-rated homes are the most energy efficient while G-rated are the least energy efficient.

A BER certificate is compulsory for all homes available for rent or sale. Check the SEAI National BER Register to see if your property already has a valid BER certificate, to download the BER certificate and advisory report or to review further details of the BER of a property being advertised. You will also be able to see the BER expiry date.

It lasts 10 years.

BER assessments are carried out on your home by SEAI registered

BER assessors. There is a list of assessors available on www.seai.ie

We will need your MPRN number and access to all rooms in the house for about 45 minutes. The assessor will then submit their calculations to SEAI who will then issuea preliminary report. Conor will send this to you prior to submitting the final report to go over any questions you have. Once this is agreed and you are happy with everything, we can arrange for payment and to submit the final report to the SEAI. The BER Certificate will be issued after this.

Conor Nolan (BEng & MSc), who completes the assessments is a qualified Chartered Engineer with Engineers Ireland, and is registered with the SEAI.
