How Much Does a BER Cert Cost in Ireland?

With BerCert.com, BER certs start from €149. The final price depends on the size, type and location of your property, so the easiest way to find out what you'll pay is to compare quotes from local SEAI registered BER assessors.

Typical BER Cert Prices

There is no set fee for a BER in Ireland and each assessor sets their own price. As a guide, Citizens Information puts the cost of a BER for an apartment at around €150, and for a standard house at between €200 and €300. Larger homes, or homes with extensions and newer heating systems, can cost more as the survey and calculations take longer.

What Affects the Price of a BER?

According to the SEAI, the cost of a BER is usually linked to how many rooms your home has and how long the assessment will take. The main things that affect the price are:

• The size of the property and the number of rooms
• The property type (an apartment is usually quicker to assess than a detached house)
• Extensions and attic conversions, which have to be measured and recorded separately
• Heat pumps, solar panels and mechanical ventilation, which need extra checks and paperwork
• Where the property is located

• Publishing your BER on the SEAI National BER Register

How to Get the Best Price

The SEAI recommends getting at least 3 quotes before choosing a BER assessor. With BerCert.com, you submit your property details once and local assessors send you their quotes, so you can compare prices, reviews and availability without ringing around.

Having your paperwork ready on the day also helps. See our guide on how to prepare for your BER survey.

Is a Cheaper BER Any Different?

No. Every BER assessor must be registered with the SEAI, and every BER is calculated using the same SEAI software and rules. The SEAI also audits assessors' work. Prices vary simply because each assessor sets their own fees.

Do You Already Have a Valid BER?

A BER is valid for 10 years. Before booking a new one, check whether your property already has a valid BER on the SEAI register. See Find Your BER Rating.
