What can be done to improve the BER of an existing dwelling?
BER Ratings & Solutions advise clients of improvements following the calculation of their BER rating. Examples of such include: • insulating the hot water cylinder and pipework; • increasing the insulation in the walls/ attic/floor; • increasing single glazed windows to double/triple glazing; • replacing an old or inefficient boiler with a more efficient boiler; • installing modern heating controls; • installing specific types of renewable energy heating systems. For this reason, our advisory report will be a key document in relation to existing dwellings. It may be particularly useful to those who have just purchased an existing dwelling which they plan to improve or remodel in their early stages of occupation. BER Ratings & Solutions also provide a unique consultancy package whereby a provisional rating is calculated and improvements are advised to the client. BER Ratings & Solutions can carry out these improvements and provide the final BER Certificate with the improved energy ratin
