What is an Energy Performance Certificate?
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs)
tell home buyers and sellers about a home’s energy efficiency – using A to G ratings, like those used
to rate fridges and washing machines.
The Certificates also make recommendations for cost-effective improvements that can be made to help
cut fuel bills and carbon emissions. The EPC is prepared by Domestic Energy Assessors or Home Inspectors
who are members of a Government approved Certification Scheme. It is estimated that by following the
recommendations in an EPC, an average of £300 a year can be saved in fuel bills.
