Who it's for

Who needs a domestic BER certificate

If you are selling, letting, or applying for an SEAI grant, you need a BER. OB Energy makes the process straightforward from first call to final certificate.

Selling your home

A BER certificate is a legal requirement before you put your home on the market. Without it, the sale cannot proceed.

Letting a property

Landlords must provide a valid BER to tenants. It protects you legally and shows renters exactly what they are getting.

Applying for grants

SEAI grants for insulation, heat pumps, and solar require a BER before and after the work. We handle both assessments.

Why it matters

Why a domestic BER matters

A BER is more than a piece of paper. It tells you how your home performs, what it costs to run, and what you can do about it.

Legal requirement

You cannot sell or let a home in Ireland without a valid BER certificate. It is the law.

Property value

A better BER rating makes your home more attractive to buyers and can support a stronger asking price.

Energy savings

The assessment shows where your home loses heat and money. Small fixes can cut your bills significantly.

Comfort

A warmer, comfortable home is a better place to live. The BER report points you toward real improvements.
