Energy Consultants are qualified Building Energy Rating Assessors and we are registered with Sustainable Energy Ireland. Our chief assessor is Kildare native Barry Goulding, who from a young age worked in his family's hardware shop, Gouldings Hardware in Naas. He completed the Advanced Craft City and Guilds course in Carpentry and Joinery in the early nineties and he has over 10 years experience in the construction industry working as a site foreman for several large construction companies on a wide range of projects. This experience gives him a great insight into the materials and methods that can make the difference to the performance of your dwelling. We offer competitive rates for BER assessments and if you have more than one house we will offer a better rate.

- It is the requirement of the seller or landlord to have the dwelling rated so the prospective buyer or renter has the energy rating to consider before agreeing to anything.
- To calculate a BER, everything from the type of, construction, space heating, water heating, lighting, to the buildings orientation is measured and taken into account. Then the area of the dwelling is calculated and by following strict guidelines set out by SEI we work out the BER.
- A full BER cert is valid for 10 years providing that there have been no material changes to the dwelling. A provisional cert is valid for 2 years.
