An advisory report accompanies every BER Certificate and will contain recommendations on how to improve the energy performance of your home. You may then choose to implement some or all of the improvements outlined. These improvements may help: Improve the BER of your home Increase the value of your property Reduce the home heating bills Improve home comfort.

The advisory report is a key document and is particularly useful to those who have just purchased an existing dwelling which they plan to renovate. This report will outline how you can gain the full benefit of energy usage in your home. Can I get an Energy assessment done on my home even if I don't need it by law? Yes you may get a BER assessment done for your dwelling to ascertain the energy rating it would achieve. The result will not be uploaded onto the national database, therefore you will not get an official BER Certificate for your dwelling. However, an unofficial BER and advisory report will provide you with some useful information that could in turn be used to save energy consumption of your house resulting in lower energy bills.
