Your EPC

WHAT TO EXPECT ON AN ENERGY PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATE.

Much like the multi-coloured sticker on new appliances, Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) tell you how energy efficient a building is and give it a rating from A (very efficient) to G (inefficient). They will tell you how costly it will be to heat and light your property, and what the carbon dioxide emissions are likely to be.

An EPC also includes information on what the energy efficiency rating could be if you made the recommended improvements and highlights cost effective ways to achieve a better rating. Even if you rent your home, you could still implement some improvements noted on the EPC, such as switching to more energy efficient light bulbs.

EPCs are valid for 10 years from the date of issue.

Once an Energy Performance Certificate has been produced, this can be viewed on the UK government website: find-energy-certificate.service.gov.uk/find-a-certificate/type-of-property

As an energy performance certificate is a fundamental tool in helping the Government to calculate the UK's carbon emissions, the report contains recommendations of how the property can be made more energy efficient.
