What is an Energy Rating ?

What is an EPC?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a document that measures and rates the energy efficiency of a property. It provides a clear A–G rating, where A represents the most energy-efficient properties and G the least. EPCs also include suggestions for improving your property’s energy performance.

Why Do I Need an EPC?

In the UK, EPCs are required by law in the following situations:

• Selling a home or commercial property
• Renting out a property
• Constructing a new build

Without a valid EPC, your property cannot be legally marketed.

What Information Does an EPC Include?

Your EPC will show:

• Energy Efficiency Rating: An A–G grade for your property
• Estimated Energy Costs: Approximate annual costs for heating, lighting, and hot water
• Energy Saving Recommendations: Suggestions to lower energy usage and improve your score

How Is an EPC Assessment Carried Out?

A certified energy assessor will visit your property to inspect key elements such as:

• Insulation levels
• Heating system type and age
• Windows (e.g., single or double glazing)
• Construction materials

Using software approved by the government, the assessor calculates your energy rating and generates the certificate.

How Long Is an EPC Valid?

An EPC is valid for 10 years. If you improve your property’s energy efficiency, you can order a new certificate to reflect the changes.

How to Improve Your EPC Rating

• Upgrade loft and wall insulation
• Install a modern, efficient boiler or heating system
• Switch to low-energy LED lighting
• Use double or triple glazed windows
• Install smart thermostats

These improvements can not only boost your EPC score but also reduce your energy bills and carbon footprint.
