Residential EPC

Residential EPC

Booking Your EPC online

Residential Energy Performance Certificate, also known as domestic EPCs are required when selling or letting a property.

The EPC outlines some ideas which would help to improve the building’s energy performance. Implementing these can lead to lower energy bills, reduced carbon emissions and can make homes more attractive to potential buyers or tenants due to the lower running costs.

The key thing to remember is that the EPC is based on a typical household, meaning that any figures for energy usage and potential savings are not based on the lifestyles of the residents.

Value Quality

We carry out more checks to ensure your property receives the most accurate energy rating. This is important for your potential buyers and tenants as the EPC calculates the property’s typical running costs. A poor energy rating could lose their interest. If you are a Landlord, an incorrect EPC could mean the difference between being able to legally let the property and an unnecessary void period.

Experience

We are trusted by Home-Owners, Landlords and approved suppliers for Local Authorities, and Property Agents due to our professionalism and commitment to maintaining the highest level of customer service and reporting.

Getting the best energy rating

Boost your energy rating with these low-cost improvements

01     Lighting

 Do you have low energy light bulbs throughout the property? These can be fluorescent or LED, halogen doesn’t count. For an improved score, replace any halogen or incandescent bulbs with as many low efficiency bulbs as possible. 

 

02       Heating

 If you have central heating, how are you controlling the heat? Do most of the radiators or heat emitters have thermostatic radiator valves. These can be purchased for less than £20 per radiator, although you may need someone with experience to fit these.

 

 

03 Insulation

 Loft roll insulation is relatively low cost and will improve the rating by quite a few points with additional layers. A depth of 40 centimetres is the maximum requirement. 

 

With these changes your property will be better prepared to appeal to buyers or renters!
