Domestic Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs)

Whether you’re residing in a cosy bungalow, a modern flat or a spacious house, energy efficiency should be at the forefront of your domestic living. Our Domestic Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are your gateway to creating a sustainable living space. They are a legal requirement when selling, letting, or building any form of residential property in the UK.

These certificates provide a comprehensive analysis of your property’s energy use and carbon dioxide emissions, resulting in a rating from A (highly efficient) to G (least efficient). But they go beyond just ratings. Your Domestic EPC will also provide a clear roadmap for enhancing your home’s energy efficiency – be it through insulation upgrades in your bungalow, boiler improvements in your flat, or renewable energy installations in your house.

Aided by a team of accredited Domestic Energy Assessors, we conduct meticulous surveys of properties of all types – bungalows, flats, and houses – assessing crucial elements such as size, layout, construction, heating, ventilation, and lighting systems. Count on us to illuminate the path towards an energy-efficient, eco-friendly home.

Commercial Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs)

Energy efficiency is a crucial facet of managing commercial properties. Whether you’re operating a retail shop, an office building or an industrial complex, our Commercial Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) will help you maximise your energy potential. These certificates are mandatory when selling, letting, or building commercial properties in the UK.

Commercial EPCs present an in-depth evaluation of your property’s energy efficiency and carbon emissions, with a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). More importantly, they serve as guides to optimise your energy usage, helping you reduce operational costs and enhance sustainability. Recommendations may include upgrading HVAC systems in your office, improving lighting efficiency in your retail unit, or implementing renewable energy in your industrial site.

Our specialist Commercial Energy Assessors are skilled in assessing a wide range of commercial properties – from compact retail units and bustling offices to vast industrial complexes. They carefully consider the unique aspects of your property, including its size, structure, heating, ventilation, cooling, and lighting systems. With us, you can confidently steer your business towards a sustainable, energy-efficient future.

What is an EPC?

An EPC, which stands for Energy Performance Certificate, is a document that provides information on the energy efficiency of a building. The EPC rates the building on a scale from A to G, with A being the most energy-efficient and G being the least. The certificate takes into account various factors such as the age and construction of the building, its heating and cooling systems, and insulation. EPCs are mandatory for any building being sold, leased or constructed, and they help potential buyers and tenants to assess the energy efficiency of a property and its likely running costs.

In addition to providing information on the energy efficiency of a building, EPCs also include recommendations on how to improve the property’s energy performance. These recommendations may include suggestions such as installing insulation, upgrading heating and cooling systems, and improving lighting efficiency. By implementing these recommendations, property owners can make their buildings more energy-efficient and reduce their running costs, as well as their carbon footprint.

EPCs were introduced as part of the UK government’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change. They are an important tool for encouraging property owners and tenants to take steps to reduce their energy consumption and carbon footprint. By providing clear and concise information on the energy efficiency of a property and actionable recommendations on how to improve it, EPCs are helping to create a more sustainable built environment.

What does an EPC involve?

The EPC inspection includes an assessment of the property’s heating systems, ventilation, and hot water supply. The assessor will evaluate the efficiency of the heating system, the age and condition of the boiler, and the level of insulation in the walls, floors, and roof. They will also examine the windows and doors to determine their energy efficiency and check for any drafts or air leaks. The assessment also includes a review of the lighting systems to identify any opportunities for energy-efficient lighting.

The final EPC report will provide a rating for the property, ranging from A to G, with A being the most energy-efficient and G being the least. The report will also include recommendations for improving the energy efficiency of the property. These recommendations may include simple measures such as changing light bulbs or more significant improvements such as installing insulation or upgrading the heating system. The report provides valuable information for property owners to help them identify ways to reduce their energy bills and make their property more energy-efficient.

What happens if I don't get an EPC?

If you fail to obtain an EPC, you could be liable for a fine. The fines for not having an EPC can vary, and it’s important to understand the consequences of not having one.

The fines for not having an EPC can be quite substantial. For homeowners, the fine can be up to £5,000, while for commercial property owners, the fine can be up to £150,000. These fines can be issued by the local authorities and are designed to encourage property owners to comply with EPC regulations. It’s worth noting that the fines are based on the rateable value of the property and the length of time you’ve been without an EPC.

It’s important to understand that not having an EPC can also have an impact on your ability to sell or rent out your property. Potential buyers or tenants are likely to ask for an EPC as part of their due diligence process. Without an EPC, they may be less inclined to consider your property, which could result in a longer period of vacancy or a lower selling price. Therefore, obtaining an EPC is not only a legal requirement but also an essential part of the selling or renting process.

How to find an EPC Assessor

When it comes to finding an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) assessor, there are several routes you can take. One option is to use a search engine to look for qualified assessors in your area. However, it is important to make sure that the assessor you choose is registered with a government-approved accreditation scheme. You can check this by visiting the government’s EPC register website and searching for the assessor’s details.

Another option is to contact a local estate agent or property management company. They may be able to recommend a trusted EPC assessor who they have worked with before. This can be particularly helpful if you are looking to sell or rent out your property, as these professionals are likely to have experience in assessing the energy efficiency of properties similar to yours. It’s also a good idea to choose an energy assessor with a surveying background, who can ensure a correct evaluation of the property is carried out.

Finally, you can also use an online EPC provider to find an assessor. These providers typically have a network of accredited assessors across the country and can connect you with one in your area. Some providers also offer additional services such as energy-saving advice and guidance on how to improve your property’s EPC rating. However, it is important to do your research and make sure the provider you choose is reputable and trustworthy to avoid an inaccurate EPC , which can be costly.

Still looking for help?

What is an EPC?

An EPC is a certificate that provides information about the energy efficiency of a building, as well as recommendations for improving its efficiency. The certificate assesses the energy consumption and carbon emissions of a building, providing a rating of the building’s energy efficiency, ranging from A to G, with A being the most efficient.

Why do I need an EPC?

An EPC is required whenever a property is built, sold, or rented. It is a legal requirement in many countries, as it helps property owners and potential buyers or tenants make informed decisions about energy efficiency and the costs of heating and lighting the property. Furthermore, it encourages energy-saving measures, reduces carbon emissions, and helps combat climate change.

How long does an EPC last?

An EPC is valid for 10 years from the date it is issued. However, if significant changes are made to the property, such as renovations or upgrades, it may be necessary to obtain a new EPC.

How is an EPC calculated?

An EPC is calculated based on a number of factors, including the construction of the building, its heating system, insulation, and lighting. The assessment takes into account the age, size, and layout of the property, as well as the materials used in its construction, such as walls, floors, and roofs.

What is the rating system used on an EPC?

EPCs use a rating system of A to G, with A being the most energy efficient and G being the least. The rating is determined by the carbon emissions and energy consumption of the property. The rating system provides a clear indication of the property’s energy efficiency and can help potential buyers or tenants compare energy efficiency between properties.

How can I improve my EPC rating?

There are several ways to improve an EPC rating, including adding insulation to the walls, floors, or roof, upgrading heating systems, using energy-efficient lighting, and installing renewable energy sources such as solar panels. By making these improvements, the energy efficiency of the property can be improved, resulting in a higher EPC rating and lower energy bills.

Who can provide an EPC?

An EPC can only be provided by a certified energy assessor. Energy assessors are qualified professionals who have completed an accredited training course and are registered with an approved accreditation scheme. It is important to ensure that the energy assessor is accredited and qualified to provide an EPC.

What happens if I don't have an EPC?

Failure to provide an EPC when required can result in penalties. In most countries, it is a legal requirement to have an EPC when selling, renting, or building a property. Failure to comply with the regulations can result in fines or legal action.

Can an EPC be transferred to a new owner or tenant?

Yes, an EPC can be transferred to a new owner or tenant, as long as the certificate is still valid. The EPC is the property’s asset, and it is the responsibility of the property owner to provide a valid EPC to the new owner or tenant.

How can I obtain an EPC?

An EPC can be obtained from a certified energy assessor. It is important to ensure that the energy assessor is accredited and qualified to provide an EPC. The energy assessor will visit the property to carry out an assessment and provide the EPC. The cost of the EPC will vary depending on the size and location of the property, but it is often a relatively small cost compared to the potential savings on energy bills. The EPC should be provided within a few days of the assessment.
