Hi,
Would anyone have an idea what is required for a house to obtain a B3 BER rating?
We recently purchased a house that has a B3 rating. We have found the house to be freezing. Average temperature is 12 degrees. When oil heating is switched on for 2 hours temperature rises to 14 degrees but drops significantly within an hour of heating goes off. There is oil fired central heating with fire in sitting room (no back boiler).
We inspected the attic and found large sections not insulated and where it is insulated, it's done to a minimum standard. The walls are part insulated but not fully.
We find it hard to believe that a house could have a B3 rating and not be properly insulated. We have contacted the SEAI but to date have received no reply.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks
