A1

What a A1 BER rating means

A A1 home uses 0 to 25 kWh/m²/yr. New, near zero-energy. Best possible. 21,222 certified homes in Ireland (1.5%) are rated A1.

Is a A1 good or bad?

A A1 home is among the more efficient in the country, with relatively low heating demand and running costs.

How to improve beyond A1

Homes at this level are already efficient; small gains come from controls, draught-proofing or solar PV.

The typical measures are grant-aided by SEAI. See the grants, or estimate your own home to get a tailored list.
