What is a BER and why is it important?
A Building Energy Rating (BER) certificate is an indication of your home’s energy performance. It is rated on a scale from A to G. A-rated homes are the most energy efficient and will cost less to heat than G-rated homes, which are the least energy efficient.
Having a BER rating for your home makes planning energy improvements easier, resulting in reduced energy costs and increased comfort. Home energy improvements also add to the resale value of your home.
How to improve your home's BER
Improving the BER of your home can make it warmer, reduce your energy and heating costs, and even increase the resale value. Your BER certificate will come with an advisory report, here you will find areas in need of improving within your home and advice. The SEAI offer a range of grants to help you improve the energy performance of your home.
Energlaze Home Energy Upgrades offers a wide range of measures that will improve your BER. As Energlaze is an SEAI registered installer we can help maximise any grants available.
All BERs are carried out by independent assessors who are registered with the SEAI. A list of all registered BER assessors can be found here.
