An EPC is an Energy Performance Certificate. This assessment will look at potentially how much the property costs to heat and light and how high or low the levels of carbon dioxide emissions emitted from the property are. The EPC rating takes into account the elements available at the property to be used, not how your personal lifestyle uses them.

Once the assessment has been done, an EPC rating between ‘A’ and ‘G’ will be given to the property on the EPC Certificate. Attached to this certificate will be a sheet of recommendations that offer advice to the property owner on how to improve the building’s overall energy efficiency. This can help lower carbon emissions and lower the overall running costs of the property in relation to the lower energy bills that will occur, as a result of the home owner following the recommended measures and seeking professional advise from the specialists required.
