Home Energy Assessment & BER
Plan your upgrade and unlock SEAI grants with a certified home energy assessment
Every energy upgrade starts with understanding your home
What is a BER?
A BER (Building Energy Rating) shows how energy-efficient your home is — from A1 (best) to G (worst). It’s based on insulation, heating, ventilation, and other energy-related features. SEAI requires a BER to approve grants, and it’s the first step in planning any whole-home retrofit.
What’s included in a Home Energy Assessment?
- Full assessment of insulation, walls, attic and windows
- Heating system inspection — boiler, controls, radiators
- Ventilation and airtightness review
- BER rating before and after upgrades (if needed)
- Upgrade recommendations with cost and grant guidance
We use this to create a clear, step-by-step plan — from attic insulation to heat pump readiness.

Grant-Required
BER is essential for SEAI grants and One Stop Shop applications

Why your BER matters
Your energy rating affects more than your bills
- Qualifies your home for SEAI grants
- Required for selling or renting property
- Helps you plan the most cost-effective upgrades
- Can impact the resale value of your home
Most homes built before 2006 have poor BERs — and major potential for improvement.
What customers say
“We had no idea our BER was so low. Premier explained it all, showed us where we were losing heat, and helped us improve from D2 to B1.”
— S. O’Reilly, Clare
“Our assessment helped us qualify for the insulation grant and plan the retrofit properly. Delighted with the process start to finish.”
— T. Lennon, Dublin
We do more than just issue a BER
We don’t just give you a number — we give you a plan. Our team explains:
- What’s dragging your rating down
- Which upgrades offer the best return
- How to meet grant requirements for B2 (or better)
- What to prioritise if your budget is limited
It’s clear, practical, and based on real homes — not just checklists.
How it supports your upgrade
The Home Energy Assessment helps determine your eligibility for:
- SEAI grants — including One Stop Shop funding
- Full retrofit planning
- Tailored upgrade phasing over time
Insulation first — always
We use your BER to confirm where heat loss is happening. Insulation is nearly always step one — and we specialise in attic, cavity, internal, and external systems that bring the biggest improvements fast.
Book your energy assessment
We’ll inspect your home, calculate your BER, and build a clear plan to upgrade your comfort, efficiency and grant eligibility.
Quick answers
What is a BER?
A Building Energy Rating (BER) is a measure of your home's energy efficiency — from A1 (best) to G (worst). It's required for SEAI grants and property sales.
How long does an assessment take?
Most assessments take 60–90 minutes. You'll receive your BER and report shortly afterwards.
Do I need one before applying for SEAI grants?
Yes — a BER is required before and after major energy upgrades. We help with both.
What does the assessment include?
Insulation review, heating system check, ventilation status, and grant-focused recommendations.
Will you explain the BER results?
Yes — we’ll break it down and show you exactly what’s dragging your rating down and how to fix it.
