BFRC Window Energy Savings Certificate

I recently had some double glazed windows installed and when I received the FENSA certificate, there was a leaflet in there from the BFRC offering certificates to prove their energy rating (valuable when selling my home apparently!).

Can anyone advise if it's really worth getting one. It costs £15 so obviously not a huge amount but don't want to bother with one if it's not worth doing.

Any thoughts or advice appreciated.

Thanks
Jo.

  • It won't make the slightest difference when you sell your home. The FENSA cert shows they conform to building regs.

    Thank you. As I understand it though, these BFRC certificates confirm the energy ratings rather than building regs compliance, which is why I wondered whether I should bother getting it. I think I'll give it a miss though.
