An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is one of the most widely used tools in the UK to measure and showcase a property’s energy efficiency. It provides a standardised rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), helping homeowners, buyers, landlords, and tenants understand energy usage and associated costs.
Why EPC Ratings Matter
EPCs are based on measurable building elements like insulation, heating systems, windows, and energy-saving features. While it doesn’t measure actual energy bills, it gives a reliable snapshot of potential efficiency, making it essential for property transactions and compliance.
If you’re looking to sell or rent out your home, a valid EPC is legally required. Learn more about Residential EPCs in London and how Urgent EPC can assist.
Limitations of EPCs
Though EPCs are a strong indicator, they may not account for day-to-day energy behaviour or newer sustainable technologies not recognised by the software. In such cases, EPCs are best used alongside other assessments for a complete energy profile.
