The EPC Assessment Process

No upfront fees, pay on the day of assessment by backs, credit, debit card, cash or PayPal.

The Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) assessment is a comprehensive process designed to evaluate the energy efficiency of a property. During this assessment, I will conduct a detailed inspection of the property, focusing on various energy-related features that influence its overall energy performance.

The EPC is a vital document for property owners, buyers, and tenants. It is a legal requirement for the purpose of selling your home or renting out your property. It helps in understanding the energy consumption of a property and guides decision-making regarding energy improvements. Additionally, EPCs are required when selling or renting out a property, ensuring compliance with legal standards and promoting energy efficiency initiatives. 

Do I need to get ready for an EPC?

If there’s any furniture or other items blocking access, it’s a good idea to move them out of the way. Make sure you have all the necessary paperwork ready for me. I won’t be lifting up flooring or drilling into your walls to check your insulation. Instead, I will assess the age and condition of your house to draw my conclusions. If you have documents showing that you’ve upgraded your insulation, put in new windows, or installed an energy-efficient boiler recently, be sure to share those with the assessor. They can help boost your EPC rating. 

Since 2010, I have been your go-to EPC assessor for a fast and efficient service with over 10 years’ experience and thousands of EPC assessments completed. I offer top-rated, quick, and friendly service. I am here to make the certification process a stress-free experience. 

Steps Involved in the EPC Assessment

Initial Inspection:

I will examine key components such as lighting fixtures, windows, heating controls, boilers, radiators, and insulation. This step involves taking photographs and notes to document the current state of these features.

·Data Collection:

I will record details about the property's construction, insulation levels, and energy systems. This information is crucial for accurate analysis and scoring.

·Input into Software:

After the inspection, the collected data is entered into specialised software designed to analyse energy performance. This software uses standardized algorithms to calculate the property's energy efficiency score.

Report Generation:

The software generates a detailed report that includes the property's energy performance score, recommendations for improvements, and potential cost savings. This report provides homeowners and prospective buyers with valuable insights into the property's energy efficiency.

·Duration and Outcome

The assessment typically takes between 30 to 45 minutes for standard properties. Once completed, I will provide the EPC report shortly thereafter. The report not only indicates the current energy performance but also offers practical tips for enhancing energy efficiency, which can lead to reduced energy bills and a lower carbon footprint.
