EPCs
What are they?

Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), energy ratings for homes, will give consumers information about the energy efficiency of properties and offer practical steps to reduce carbon emissions and save on energy bills. An EPC must be produced from 1st August 2007 for properties that are placed on the market.

Contact us for your "One Stop" solution.

Homes in the UK account for 27% of the UK’s carbon emissions contributing to global climate change. The Energy Performance Certificate is intended to help homeowners reduce the environmental impact of their homes. An EPC will grade homes from A to G in order to makes these houses more energy efficient and to help cut carbon emissions and fuel bills.

An EPC can only be prepared by a qualified Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA) or a qualified Home Inspector.
