Domestic Energy Performance Certificates in Greater Manchester and Leicestershire

Fast, quality services carried out by accredited professionals using the latest technology.

In simple terms, an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) assesses a property's energy efficiency on a scale from A to G.

EPCs became mandatory in England and Wales in 2007, applying to properties for sale, rent, or construction. Since April 2018, privately owned properties must have an EPC rating of E or better to be sold or leased, with some exemptions like listed buildings.

Failure to comply can result in fines of up to £5,000 for domestic and £150,000 for commercial properties. EPCs are valid for 10 years.

The most energy-efficient homes are in band A, offering lower energy bills and reduced environmental impact. The EPC rates a property's environmental impact on the same A-G scale, focusing on CO2 emissions.

In the UK, the average property falls within bands D-E for both ratings. EPCs also provide recommendations for improving energy efficiency, saving money, and reducing environmental impact. Commercial buildings are assessed solely by CO2 emissions, rated on an A-G scale..
