Your BER rating indicates the overall energy efficiency of your home and highlights where upgrades could improve performance and long-term energy efficiency.
Alongside your BER certificate, you'll receive an Advisory Report with tailored advice on making your home more energy efficient, allowing you to focus on upgrades that improve comfort, reduce bills, boost value, and achieve a better BER rating.
