Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a vital document required by law when selling or renting a property in the UK. It evaluates the energy efficiency of a property and provides a rating on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). The EPC is not just a regulatory requirement but a valuable tool for homeowners, landlords, and tenants alike, as it highlights the property’s energy consumption and environmental impact.
Our EPC service is designed to be thorough, efficient, and hassle-free. A qualified domestic energy assessor from our team will visit your property to conduct a comprehensive assessment. During the visit, the assessor will inspect key elements such as the property’s insulation, heating systems, windows, and lighting. The process typically takes around an hour, depending on the size and complexity of the property.
After the assessment, the data collected is analyzed using government-approved software to produce the EPC report. This report includes:
- Energy Efficiency Rating: A clear rating from A to G that indicates the property’s current energy efficiency.
- Environmental Impact Rating: An assessment of the property’s carbon dioxide emissions, helping you understand its environmental footprint.
- Recommendations for Improvement: Practical suggestions for enhancing the property’s energy efficiency. This might include upgrading insulation, installing double glazing, or replacing an old boiler. Implementing these improvements can lead to lower energy bills and a higher EPC rating, potentially increasing the property’s market value.
- Potential Rating: An estimation of what the property’s energy efficiency rating could be if the recommended improvements are made.
The EPC is valid for 10 years and is an essential document for any property transaction. Whether you’re selling, renting, or simply want to understand and improve your property’s energy performance, our expert assessors ensure you receive a detailed and accurate EPC.
By choosing our EPC service, you not only comply with legal requirements but also gain valuable insights into how to make your property more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. Let us help you make informed decisions that benefit both your pocket and the planet.
