Understanding Your EPC
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) provides an official summary of how energy-efficient your property is. It helps buyers, tenants, and property owners understand energy usage, running costs, and potential improvements. If you’re getting an EPC for the first time, our certified assessors can guide you through every detail — learn more about us here.
An EPC rates your property from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). The certificate also highlights estimated energy costs and practical recommendations to improve your score.
What’s Inside an EPC?
A standard EPC document contains:
Energy Efficiency Rating: The overall grade of your property, shown as a coloured bar chart (A–G).
Environmental Impact Rating: Indicates the property’s carbon emissions.
Estimated Energy Costs: Expected annual costs for heating, lighting, and hot water.
Recommended Improvements: Suggested upgrades like insulation, efficient boilers, or LED lighting.
Potential Rating: Shows what your EPC could reach after improvements.
If you need a detailed inspection for your home or business, explore our residential EPC services for accurate, government-approved reports.
How to Read Your EPC Rating
Your EPC rating reflects how energy-efficient your property is.
A–B: Excellent efficiency – low running costs.
C–D: Average efficiency – potential for improvement.
E–G: Poor efficiency – likely high energy bills and urgent upgrade needs.
The report also includes recommendations for improving your score, such as upgrading insulation, using double glazing, or installing renewable systems. With our same-day EPC service, you can get your certificate fast and start implementing improvements immediately.
Why Your EPC Matters
Your EPC isn’t just a legal document — it’s a valuable tool for improving property performance.
For Homeowners: Identify cost-saving opportunities and boost property value.
For Landlords: Ensure compliance with Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES).
For Buyers and Tenants: Compare properties and forecast energy bills.
Understanding your EPC helps you make informed decisions that save energy and reduce emissions.
How to Use Your EPC Effectively
Review the Recommendations: Start with low-cost actions like LED bulbs or draft proofing.
Plan Long-Term Upgrades: Consider insulation, efficient boilers, or renewable energy systems.
Track Improvements: Once upgrades are complete, book a new EPC survey to see your rating improve.
Stay Compliant: EPCs are valid for 10 years, but you can renew sooner for better accuracy.
