Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are a crucial document for homeowners in the UK, providing a snapshot of a property's energy efficiency. Understanding your EPC rating is essential, not only for compliance with regulations but also for making informed decisions about home improvements.
There are many regulatory requirements surrounding EPCs, with upcoming deadlines and changes that homeowners need to be aware of. Beyond the legal aspects, an EPC serves as a valuable record of the energy-saving upgrades you've made to your property, which can be a significant selling point when you decide to move.
An EPC assesses a property's energy performance and assigns it a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). This rating takes into account factors such as insulation, heating systems, and window efficiency.
Having a valid EPC is a legal requirement when selling or renting a property.
Furthermore, certain government schemes and funding opportunities for energy-efficient upgrades often require a valid EPC.
