What Is an EPC?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a report that shows how energy-efficient a home or rental property is. It gives the property a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and includes tips on how to make it better. These can be small changes, like turning down the thermostat, or bigger improvements, like swapping single-glazed windows for double glazing. The report also gives estimated costs for each suggestion.

Accreditation

All our Energy Performance Certificate Assessors are fully accredited and have undergone rigorous training to evaluate your property’s energy performance. They are equipped with the knowledge and tools to provide you with a comprehensive and accurate assessment.

 

Domestic Energy Assessors (DEAs)

Our DEAs are experts in analysing residential properties. They play a crucial role in the assessment process, offering you peace of mind that your EPC rating reflects the true energy efficiency of your home.

The Assessment Process: Booking an assessment is simple. Once you’ve found your local assessor on our site, you can book an appointment online. The assessor will visit your property to examine key elements such as insulation, heating systems, and windows. This non-invasive process typically takes 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size and complexity of your property.

Expectations and Limitations: While our assessors strive to provide a seamless and thorough evaluation, it’s important to understand that the assessment focuses on the energy performance of the building itself. Personal energy usage habits are not taken into account in the EPC rating.

Ratings and Recommendations: Following the assessment, you’ll receive an EPC that includes a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). The certificate also offers recommendations for improving your property’s energy efficiency, which could help reduce your energy bills and environmental impact.

Lodgement: Your EPC will be lodged on the national register, making it accessible to potential buyers or tenants as required by law. This ensures transparency and provides valuable information on the energy performance of properties.

Exemptions: Some properties may be exempt from requiring an EPC. These include listed buildings, temporary structures, and places of worship, among others. Our assessors can advise you on whether your property qualifies for an exemption.

Validity: Your EPC is valid for 10 years. It can be used multiple times within this period, whether for selling, renting, or assessing energy performance improvements.

Expiration: As your EPC nears expiration, or if you undertake significant modifications to your property, a new assessment will be necessary to accurately reflect its current energy performance.

The recommendations provided in an EPC report are not mandatory; they are suggestions for improving the property’s energy efficiency. However, implementing these recommendations can lead to substantial benefits, including lower energy bills, improved property value, and enhanced comfort. For landlords, implementing these measures can also ensure compliance with MEES regulations.

An EPC does not assess the actual energy usage of a property, which can vary greatly depending on the behaviour of the occupants. Instead, the EPC provides an estimate of the property’s potential energy efficiency and carbon dioxide emissions. This estimate is based on standard assumptions about occupancy and energy usage, providing a consistent basis for comparing the energy efficiency of different properties.

Yes, a property’s EPC rating can change over time, especially if no upgrades are made to improve its energy efficiency. Changes in building regulations and advances in energy-efficient technologies can also impact how a property’s existing features are evaluated in terms of current standards. Therefore, a property that received a high rating ten years ago might not achieve the same rating today if no improvements have been made.

While an EPC is not directly linked to property insurance, properties with better EPC ratings might sometimes benefit from lower insurance premiums. This is because energy-efficient homes are often well-maintained and equipped with modern, safer installations, which can reduce the risk from an insurer’s perspective.

Yes, newly built properties in the UK require an EPC. The builder must provide the EPC to the person who commissioned the construction of the building, and if the building is sold, the EPC must be handed over to the buyer.

The EPC plays a crucial role in environmental sustainability by promoting energy efficiency in buildings. By assessing and rating properties based on their energy performance and providing recommendations for improvements, EPCs contribute to reducing overall energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This aligns with broader environmental goals such as combating climate change and promoting sustainable living practices.

What to expect when a Domestic Energy Assessor comes to your property

Every Domestic Energy Assessor / DEA will have their own order and format of carrying out the EPC depending on the software that they use and their personal preference to efficiency.
