A Building Energy Rating (BER) Certificate is often misunderstood, leading to several myths that can cause confusion for property owners. Let's debunk some common misconceptions.

Myth 1: A BER Certificate Is Just a Legal Requirement.
While a BER Cert is legally required when selling or renting a property in Ireland, it provides valuable insights into your building's energy efficiency. It helps identify areas for improvement that can save money on energy bills.

Myth 2: Only New Properties Need a BER Certificate.
False! All properties, old or new, require a BER Certificate when being sold or rented. This ensures transparency and allows potential buyers or renters to make informed decisions.

Myth 3: A High BER Rating Means No Room for Improvement.
Even properties with a high BER rating can benefit from energy-saving upgrades. Regular assessments can identify new opportunities to enhance energy performance and reduce costs.

Understanding the truth behind these myths can help you make the most of your BER Certificate, contributing to a more energy-efficient future.
