Types of EPC's: There are many types of EPC's, mainly the property market is split into domestic and non-domestic properties, therefore there is domestic EPC's and non-domestic EPC's. Domestic EPC's are for residential properties only, so Guest houses, Hotels and B&B's are excluded. We will eb providing non-domestic EPCs in the very near future. 

How is an EPC worked out? It is based on 'standard occupancy' usage; this means any property assessed is given set usage hours, this is to allow comparison from one property to another. The calculation is very complex and uses many variables that are input by the Energy Assessor from the data collected during the assessment, like heating type, dimensions, area, window type etc. The result is a Energy Rating from 0 to 100; the closer the number is to 100 the better the efficiency.

What is the process? First when you contact us we will ask questions to findout if your property does in fact require an EPC. If so a price will be agreed upon the information given and then a contract and questionaire will be sent to you to fill in. On the assessment day the assessor will take readings from the property then along with research will go back to produce the EPC, this usually takes no more than a few hours. Once payment has been confirmed the Assessor shall send you the EPC registration number, this will allow you to see the EPC and report on the governments EPC database. Your EPC is done!

How much information do I need to give? Its as simple as this, the more information provided by you 'the customer/owner' about the property, the more accurate the EPC will be. Ideally any extension dates, services information like boiler manuals, installation cetificates, etc. The EPC can be done without it though.

Reducing Carbon emissions is important, the majority of people comment on how our environment has changed in the UK over the last few decades. If carbon emissions are not reduced greenhouse effect will accelerate, making life much worse for us all.
