Service Specific Questions
What is included in a Residential BER Audit?
Our Residential BER Audit includes a full evaluation of your property’s insulation, heating systems, ventilation, windows, and more. We use this data to calculate your home’s energy rating and issue a certified BER report.
What is a Home Energy Assessment?
A Home Energy Assessment offers a detailed breakdown of where your property is losing energy. We provide tailored upgrade recommendations, estimated savings, and guidance on potential SEAI grant supports.
What are Post-Upgrade Evaluations?
After implementing energy upgrades, we perform a follow-up assessment to verify improvements, ensure quality of work, and update your BER rating accordingly.
What is a Part L Compliance Report?
Part L of the Irish Building Regulations relates to energy performance in new builds or major renovations. We provide detailed reports required to demonstrate compliance for planning and certification.
Technical and Process Questions
How long does a BER audit take?
A typical on-site BER assessment takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size and complexity of your home. The full report is generally delivered within 2–3 working days.
Do I need to prepare anything before the assessment?
Yes. Ensure all areas of the home are accessible. If available, have documents related to previous upgrades or building plans ready.
How often do I need a new BER cert?
A BER cert is valid for 10 years, unless you carry out significant energy-related renovations or upgrades, in which case an updated cert is advised.
