About
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a document that provides a rating for the energy efficiency of a property.
What is an EPC?
An EPC rates a property's energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It includes:
The property's current energy rating and estimated energy costs
Recommendations for cost-effective improvements to enhance energy efficiency
Potential energy rating and costs if the recommended upgrades are implemented
The EPC Assessment Process
Measuring the property's dimensions and collecting details about its construction, heating systems, insulation, lighting, and renewable technologies
Inspecting the property's energy features, such as boilers, windows, and insulation levels
Using approved software to calculate the property's energy performance based on the collected data
After the assessment, we will produce the EPC and lodge it on the official register. The property owner or landlord will receive a copy of the certificate, which is valid for 10 years.
What Property Owners Can Expect
As an assessor, we will need access to all rooms, loft spaces, and heating systems. The process usually takes 1-2 hours, depending on the property size.Owners should expect a professional and courteous service from us. We will carry proper identification and be fully accredited, insured, and CRB-checked for your safety and peace of mind. After the assessment, the property owner will receive their EPC within 24-48 hours, which you can use for marketing purposes when selling or renting the property.
