Energy Assessment

What is an EPC and why do I need one?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is an official document that assesses the energy efficiency of a property, rating it from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It provides valuable insights into energy consumption and potential improvements that can reduce costs and environmental impact. An EPC is mandatory when selling or renting a property.

What does an assessment entail?

A Domestic Energy Assessor inspects insulation, heating, windows, lighting, and any renewable energy sources. The report includes recommendations to improve efficiency and reduce energy costs. It’s legally required for selling or renting a property and must be E or above for rentals. A higher EPC rating can increase property value and attract tenants or buyers.

How can I improve the EPC for my property?

To improve your EPC rating, upgrade loft, wall, and floor insulation to reduce heat loss. Replacing an old boiler with a modern condensing boiler and adding smart heating controls can boost efficiency. Switching to LED lighting, upgrading to double or triple glazing, and sealing doors will further improve performance. Installing solar panels or heat pumps can also make a significant impact. These upgrades not only enhance energy efficiency but also reduce bills and increase property value.
