What is the purpose of an EPC ?
The Energy Performance Certificate is a current legal requirement which informs the potential buyers or tenants of a
property how energy efficient the home is. The Energy Efficiency Rating is a measure of the overall efficiency of a
home and is represented on a scale of A-G , with ‘A’ being the highest score and ‘G’ being the lowest. The higher the
rating the more energy efficient the home is and the lower the fuel bills will be.

are you concerned about the rating of your property ?
The graph is similar to the labels found on fridges etc., but the 0 – 100 scale has been set so that it won’t need to be adjusted
in the foreseeable future. This means that to get an A rating the property has to have extremely low energy costs
to the degree that is only currently achieved by properties with solar panels, photovoltaics, wind turbines,
heat recovery systems, very high levels of insulation and/or low heat loss through ventilation.
At the moment the average property in the UK is achieving a D band rating.
