Why do you need an EPC?

If you are selling your home, the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a mandatory part of the Home Information Pack (HIP). This is an EU directive in compliance with the Housing Act 2004 and the HIP Regulations 2007. An EPC will tell you how energy efficient your property is and the assessment can only be carried out by an accredited Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA)

Domestic Energy Assessor inspection

A qualified energy assessor will carry out your energy assessment.

We are fully insured and CRB checked.

All information collected is subject to the Data Protection Act. All energy assessors belong to an accreditation scheme; this monitors their performance and provides right of redress for unresolved complaints.

What will the inspection entail?

The inspection/ assessment process is not invasive; for example, there is no drilling of walls or moving around of furniture. Much of the inspection is visual with some few measurements. During the inspection, the assessor will need to take some photos; these may include the exterior of the house, internal walls, space and water heaters, loft, electricity and gas meters, and other relevant features. The assessment of a 3 bed property takes approximately one to one hour fifteen mintutes, larger more complex properties may take a little longer.

Preparing for the energy assessment

These guidelines will help the energy assessor carry out the inspection more efficiently.

• If the property is occupied, then an adult (at least 16 years old) should be present during the inspection.
• The assessor will need access to all of the rooms, including the loft, and the heating boiler.
• Please keep dogs under control throughout the inspection.
• Please report any condition, inside or outside of the property which is or has the potential of being a health and safety risk to the domestic energy assessor in advance of the inspection date.
