What is an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a
report on the energy efficiency and
environmental impact of your property.
Does an actual inspection/survey take place at
my property?
Yes, an internal and external inspection of the
property is carried out by a Domestic Energy
Assessor or Home Inspector.
How long will the survey take?
We will normally be on site for approximately
one hour. The calculations are completed at our
office.
Will I need
to be at home when the surveyor arrives?
Yes, it would be preferable if you are at home
as we will need to ask a few simple questions.
However this is not 100% necessary. We will also
need access to all areas of your home, including
the main heating boiler and loft area (if
practically possible).
Do I have to carry out the recommendations given
on the certificate?
No, the recommendations are for your
consideration or for the future owner to
consider.
What will the EPC not tell me?
The EPC is not a valuation on the property.
The EPC is not a Home Condition Report.
The EPC will not give advice on
suppliers/installers who could undertake the
work to improve the energy efficiency.
