An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a crucial document that assesses the energy efficiency of a property. In the UK, EPCs are a legal requirement for all property owners and landlords who wish to sell or rent out their properties. Understanding EPCs and their significance can help you improve your property’s energy efficiency and comply with legal standards.
An Energy Performance Certificate provides detailed information on a property’s energy efficiency, including estimated energy costs and potential savings. It includes:
EPCs are mandatory for selling or renting out properties in the UK. They ensure prospective buyers or tenants are informed about the energy performance and potential running costs of the property. Most mortgage lenders also require an EPC for remortgaging.
Obtaining an EPC involves hiring a qualified energy assessor (retrofit / domestic energy assessor) who will inspect your property and conduct an EPC assessment. The process includes:
The cost of an EPC varies based on factors such as property size, location, and type. Prices for assessments start from £125 and depend on various factors, including travel and property size.
Failing to provide a valid EPC can result in substantial fines:
Solar panels generate free electricity from sunlight, significantly reducing energy costs and carbon emissions. A typical installation takes 1-3 days and requires minimal maintenance.
ASHPs are a renewable energy technology providing heating by extracting heat from outdoor air. They offer efficient heating solutions, reduce energy bills, and lower carbon footprints. Installation typically takes 3-5 days.
Find more information about ASHPs on the Energy Saving Trust website here.
Upgrading to a modern, energy-efficient boiler can have a substantial impact on reducing energy consumption and heating costs. Modern boilers operate more efficiently, providing better heat output and reliability compared to older models. This upgrade is crucial for homes with outdated or inefficient heating systems.
Installing energy-efficient windows and doors is an effective way to reduce heat loss and improve the overall comfort of your home. These upgrades enhance thermal insulation, reduce drafts, and contribute to lower energy bills. Additionally, energy-efficient windows and doors can improve security and reduce noise pollution.
You could receive the above improvements free with UK government funding. Eligibility for the ECO4 scheme is based on several criteria:
Landlords must ensure their rental properties have a valid EPC. Since April 2018, properties must have an EPC rating of at least an ‘E’ to be let out legally. Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES): Landlords must also ensure that their properties meet MEES, which require properties to be rated ‘E’ or above for new tenancies and renewals.
Certain properties are exempt from needing an EPC, including:
The focus on sustainability and reducing carbon emissions is driving changes in EPC standards. Future developments may include:
