Understand Your Home’s Energy Efficiency
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) provides valuable insights into how energy-efficient your home is. It rates your property from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and highlights areas where energy is being wasted. This can be especially useful for homeowners looking to understand their home’s performance and plan improvements.
Save on Energy Bills
By identifying ways to make your home more energy-efficient, an EPC or Energy Efficiency Review can help you cut down on energy waste. Upgrading insulation, improving heating systems, or switching to energy-efficient lighting could significantly lower your monthly utility bills.
Increase Property Value and Appeal
Homes with higher energy efficiency ratings are more appealing to buyers and tenants, as they promise lower running costs and a smaller environmental impact. Investing in an Energy Efficiency Review can guide you in making upgrades that not only save money but also boost your property’s market value.

FAQs
How long will an Energy Assessment take?
The energy assessment typically takes between 30 minutes to an hour at your property. The exact duration depends on the size and complexity of the building.
When is the Certificate issued?
Once the assessment is done, the results are entered into government approved software to produce a rating and the certificate. This is then issued to you within 48 hours via email.
Who is responsible for obtaining an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)?
The property owner is responsible for obtaining an EPC if the building is being marketed for sale. If the property is for rent, the prospective landlord must obtain it. This certificate must be provided to any potential buyer or tenant upon request and should be given to the ultimate purchaser before completing a sale or rental agreement.
How much does it cost?
The cost of an EPC varies on property size. Prices for our EPC services start at £39.00. For further details, please click here.
What if my home receives a low Energy efficiency rating?
A low rating simply means your home is not as energy efficient as it could be. During the assessment, the assessor will provide recommendations in the accompanying report on how to improve your energy efficiency. Implementing these suggestions can help increase your EPC rating, reduce carbon emissions, and potentially lower your energy bills. However, the decision to take action on the recommendations is entirely up to you. If you want to know what your rating is before obtaining an EPC then you can book an Energy Review.
