Preparing for your BER assessment
1. Access to the Property
Clear and Safe Access:
The assessor needs to be able to safely and freely inspect all areas of your home, including the attic, heating systems, meter cupboards, and all doors and windows.
Unlocking and Unobstructed Access:
Ensure that all areas are unlocked and accessible, including any outdoor buildings containing heating appliances. If possible, please pull up window blinds.
Identify Upgrades and Extensions:
Be prepared to discuss any extensions or upgrades you've made to your home.
2. Gathering Documentation
MPRN Number & Eircode:
Have your Meter Point Reference Number (MPRN) from a recent electricity bill readily available and your Eircode.
Construction Year:
Be prepared to provide proof of your home's construction year, such as property deeds or architectural plans.
Upgrades:
Gather any documentation for upgrades, such as boiler make and model, certification for windows and doors, and builder invoices.
Heating System Details:
Provide details about your heating system, including the make and model of your boiler or other heat sources.
3. Discussions with the Assessor
Discuss Upgrades:
Talk to the assessor about any home energy upgrades you've made, as these will impact the BER.
Previous Assessments:

Documentation Sufficiency:
