BER Assessments
When Walsh Energy Rating is undertaking a BER assessment we will visit the property and assess certain attributes like its size, its dimensions and its orientation.
We will then undertake a very detailed analysis of the make up of the property and gather up to 100 separate pieces of data which are then entered into a software tool which gives a uniform objective assessment of the energy performance of the property.
The homeowner is then provided with the BER certificate, and also an Advisory Report which indicates ways to improve the Energy performance of the property.
Heat Pump Technical Advisor
Before applying for a heat pump system grant, you must engage an independent, SEAI Registered Technical Advisor. Walsh Energy Rating has considerable experience in carrying out technical assessment of homes across Cork and Kerry. BER Assessor Cork will advise you on what steps to take to make your home “heat pump ready”, i.e. to reduce the heat loss on your home. We will provide you with independent guidance on measures necessary to ensure that the dwelling fabric heat loss is lowered to an acceptable level for a heat pump system to perform effectively and efficiently. The required heat loss level is expressed as a Heat Loss Indicator of 2 Watts/Kelvin/m2.
