Selling your property and need a BER Cert
McGann Energy Consultancy
Since January 1st 2009, all homes for sale or rent must have a BER cert. The energy rating helps the prospective buyer/renter estimate the energy cost of running the home. This is a requirement regardless of when the property was built. There is no pass or fail mark but you must have a rating. At McGann Energy Consultants we will provide you with a rating quickly and efficiently.
Does a BER rating have to be recent?
A BER rating from McGann Energy Consultants is valid for 10 years. If you are selling or re-letting your home outside this timeframe you will need another assessment and rating. The BER rating must be in date.
Advantages of a recent BER Cert rating?
While you may have a rating from 8 years ago that legally is still valid, a potential buyer might like to see a more recent rating. It gives the buyer comfort to know the rating was recent and is an accurate representation of the current energy efficiency of your home.
Frequently Asked Questions About BER Certs and Energy Ratings
What is a Building Energy Rating certificate and why do I need one?
A BER certificate (Building Energy Rating) is a document that shows how energy-efficient a property is. It’s required by law in Ireland when selling or renting a home. The certificate gives the property a rating from A to G, with A-rated homes being the most energy efficient. Having a good energy rating can increase a property’s value and help reduce energy bills.
How do I get a BER cert for my home or commercial building?
To get a BER cert, you’ll need to hire a qualified BER assessor. They will carry out a detailed survey of your property, examining insulation, windows, heating systems, and more. Once the assessment is done, you’ll receive your official BER certificate. At MEC Ltd, we have experienced BER assessors who can carry out this process quickly and accurately.
Who are qualified BER assessors?
BER assessors are trained and registered with SEAI (Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland). They are authorised to carry out inspections and issue BER certs for homes and commercial properties. All our assessors at McGann Energy Consultants Ltd are SEAI-registered and work to the highest professional standards.
What affects my property’s energy rating?
Several factors influence your building’s energy performance, including insulation, boiler efficiency, window type, and ventilation. A good BER rating means the building uses less energy, which can save you money on utility bills. If you’re planning to upgrade, our team can advise on steps to improve your energy performance before your BER assessment.
How long does it take to receive a cert?
In most cases, once the assessment is completed, your BER certificate is available within 24 to 48 hours. For urgent assessments, get in touch and we’ll do our best to accommodate your deadline.
Can I improve my BER rating?
Yes, improving insulation, upgrading your heating system, or installing energy-efficient windows can all boost your BER rating. Our team offers retrofit design services to help you plan the most effective energy upgrades.
How do I contact you to arrange an assessment?
You can contact us directly through our Contact Us page to book an appointment or request a quote. Our expert BER assessors are available nationwide and ready to assist with any questions you may have.

Really positive experience working with Barry. Process was very stress-free as he provided a clear structure of the BER requirements, and flagged anything that needed to be addressed in advance. A really organised approach, Barry is extremely quick to respond to mails and turns any documents around within a short space of time. Would have no problem recommending him – thanks again Barry!

Barry McGann was recommended to me by my architect and I have benefited greatly as a result. Barry is professional, Knowledgeable and was easy to contact when I needed questions answered. Barry gave me valuable information, regarding my insulation, windows, doors, that ultimately saved me from making the wrong choice. His knowledge of the Building Regulations has helped me build my dream home without stress or worry. I would be happy to recommend Barry, it was money well spent, not something I can say everyday.

I cannot recommend McGann Energy Consultants highly enough. We hired Barry and his team to carry out our Provisional BER Calculation and act as our Part L consultant to ensure that we made no mistakes that could affect compliance with these regulations. As self Builders we were worried about the unknown. Barry and the team at McGann Energy Consultants Ltd made the process so simple and stress free. They were always available to take a phone call or reply to emails. I would recommend that anyone building their new home to avail of this brilliant service for peace of mind.
