What is a BER Assessment?

A Building Energy Rating, or BER assessment, is the process of surveying and evaluating the energy efficiency of a specific property. On the day of your assessment, we will analyse many different aspects of your property, such as the insulation, ventilation, heating, windows, and lighting. Thereafter, your BER rating will be calculated using specialist software and assigned a rating on a scale of A to G. Properties with an A-rated BER are the most energy efficient, while a G-rating is the least energy efficient.

How much does a BER Assessment in Cork cost?

The cost of a BER assessment can vary depending on various factors, such as the size, location, and age of the building. For example, if the property is large or complex, it may require more time and effort to complete the assessment accurately, which may increase the cost.

Why do I need a BER assessment?

There are a number of reasons why you may need a BER assessment for your property. Some of the most common include;

Compliance with Regulations

In all counties of Ireland (including Cork), a BER certificate is required by law for all newly built residential properties. Likewise, a BER is also required for existing residential properties that are being sold or offered for rent.

Qualify for SEAI Grants

You must complete a BER assessment in order to qualify for any grants that are offered through the SEAI (Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland). Once completed, you will receive an updated BER Rating. Your rating will take into consideration any upgrade works that you completed under the grant program.

Green Mortgage Applications

If you are applying for a Green Mortgage with your bank, the bank may require you to provide an up-to-date BER Certificate. Typically, each individual bank will set their own criteria which must be met in order to avail of their ‘green’ interest rate.

Increase Property Values

Properties with a higher BER Rating are often more attractive to buyers (and tenants). This is because they are seen as being more energy-efficient. Additionally, it may also indicate to potential buyers that significant upgrade works have already been completed to the property. As such, the property should not require further significant investment in order to maintain a high energy efficiency.

Promote Energy Efficiency

A BER assessment will provide information on the energy performance of your property. As such, this can help you make more informed decisions about your energy use. After having your property assessed, a BER Certificate and Advisory Report will be generated and issued to you. These documents can help you identify opportunities to improve the energy efficiency of your property. Over the medium to long term, this could lead to significant savings on your energy bills.

Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

Residential properties are responsible for a significant portion of annual global greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, by improving the energy efficiency of your home, you can reduce your carbon footprint and help contribute to a more sustainable future.

With that said, we understand that everyone’s property and circumstances are unique. If you would like to discuss your specific situation directly with one of our BER assessors, please feel free to contact us on (021) 202 1211
