Domestic Energy Assessments

There are several types of energy report, this page deals with what has become the most common in the residential market; the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) that must form part of a Home Information Pack in accordance with the Housing Act 2004. EPCs have been introduced in a phased manner so that by October 2008 all new and all existing dwellings bought or rented from will have to be energy rated.

The Energy Performance Certificate details average costs for heating, hot water and lighting in the home. It also quantifies how energy efficient the home is and how to cut costs with energy efficiency measures.

The EPC (that can be prepared only by qualified Home Inspectors or Domestic Energy Assessors) advises consumers about various energy measures - ranging from thicker loft insulation right through to solar panels – that could cut carbon emissions from their home and thus improve their energy rating.
