An EPC gives a property an energy efficiency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and is valid for 10 years. Check how you could make your home more energy efficient using the Energy Savings Trust's home energy check. The EPC assessor will carry out a brief survey of your home before producing the EPC. The house is then placed on a colour-coded scale from A to G, A being the most efficient with the cheapest fuel bills. Your house's EPC rating will depend on: The amount of energy used per m²

WHY DO I NEED A CERTIFICATE FOR ENERGY PERFORMANCE?
When a house is developed, sold, or rented, a domestic Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is required by UK legislation and must be acquired before marketing. The energy efficiency of a property, its environmental effect, and the normal operating expenses are all detailed in an EPC.
Additionally, an EPC offers suggestions on how to consume less energy and save money. Due to their lower operating costs, energy efficient houses have shown to be more enticing to purchasers and tenants.
WHAT SHOULD I AIM FOR IN AN EPC ASSESSMENT?
An EPC evaluation takes 1 average-sized property around an hour to complete. The Domestic Energy Assessor will consider elements including the age, kind, and size of the property, the heat sources, the windows, and the lighting fixtures.
The Domestic Energy Assessor must inspect each room, ideally including any loft spaces. There is no need to offer access within walls or beneath flooring because the evaluation procedure is meant to be non-intrusive.
What information are listed on an EPC?
An EPC will resemble the colourful label you find on brand-new home equipment. It will consist of:
- a score for energy efficiency
- The anticipated expenses of maintaining your house
- a list of characteristics linked to energy performance
Your property’s energy efficiency will be reflected in the EPC’s energy efficiency rating. This is ranked from A to G, as we previously indicated.
A property that is older and has not had energy-saving upgrades would likely receive a D. For failing to fulfil this minimal efficiency standard, landlords must receive at least an E grade and risk a fine of up to £4,000.
You can determine how energy-efficient certain components of your home are by looking at the summary of elements relating to energy efficiency. Use it as a reference to choose which areas to improve first when increasing the energy efficiency of your house.
