Why BER matters
Make your home compliant, marketable and more efficient
A Building Energy Rating (BER) is now a legal requirement when selling or letting a property in Ireland. Much like an energy label on household appliances, a BER shows how efficient your home is and how much it may cost to heat and power.
Kelly Consulting brings the same thorough, data-driven approach used in commercial energy projects to individual homes—giving you a rating you can rely on, plus clear recommendations to improve comfort and reduce bills.
- Required to advertise a home for sale or rent under Irish regulations.
- Gives buyers and tenants a clear, comparable measure of energy performance.
- Highlights opportunities for upgrades such as insulation, glazing or heating systems.
- Can support access to grants and finance for energy improvements.
- Helps you future-proof your property against rising energy standards.
Our assessors are SEAI-registered and follow the latest methodology so you can rely on accurate data and up-to-date compliance.

FAQ
Questions about BER certification?
If you are unsure whether you need a BER, how long it lasts or what’s involved on the day of the survey, these answers will help. You can also ask us anything directly when you enquire.
When do I legally need a BER certificate?
In Ireland, a BER certificate is required when a home is offered for sale or rent, and for newly built properties before first occupation (subject to certain exemptions). The BER must be available to prospective buyers or tenants and included in advertising materials.
How long is a BER certificate valid?
A BER is generally valid for 10 years, provided no significant changes are made to the building that would affect its energy performance (such as extensions, major insulation works or heating system changes). If major works are carried out, a new BER is recommended.
How long does the assessment visit take?
For a typical house or apartment, the on-site survey usually takes between 1 and 2 hours. Larger or more complex properties may take longer. We’ll give you a more accurate indication when you book.
What should I have ready for the assessor?
Useful documents include floor plans, details of insulation or upgrade works, window specifications and any certificates relating to heating systems or renewable technologies. Don’t worry if you don’t have everything—our assessors can still complete the survey.
Can you advise on improving my BER rating?
Yes. Alongside your official BER certificate, Kelly Consulting provides practical recommendations for upgrades, prioritised by impact and feasibility. We can also connect this advice to renewable options and future retrofit plans where relevant.
