Why You Need an EPC
An EPC is a rating scheme used to measure a building’s energy efficiency. When selling, renting, or finishing the construction of a property, you need an EPC for it as a legal requirement.
An EPC measures your property’s CO2 emissions in tonnes and rates it on a scale of A to G. An “A” rating means it’s very energy efficient, and “G” means it’s very inefficient. The certificate also contains recommendations for reducing your emissions.
This gives potential buyers an idea of your property’s energy costs and will impact their decision-making. Any domestic private rented property will need a minimum rating of “E” before it can be sold or rented out.

Types of EPCs
Residential EPC
A residential EPC indicates a property’s overall environmental impact rating, energy consumption per year, and potential cost savings per year.
It is valid for 10 years from the date of issuance. Once the certificate expires, you will need an updated EPC before renting it out, selling, or making any major renovations to your property. Major renovations include extensions and alterations that change its original purpose.
We recommend you get a new EPC as soon as your current one expires. If you’re a landlord, you’ll be required to do so for your rented properties.
Commercial EPC
A Commercial EPC measures only a property’s CO2 emissions. Commercial properties include offices, factories, retail outlets, and other properties used to generate profit.
Owners are responsible for providing buyers or tenants with an EPC of the property they’re selling. With new buildings, the company carrying out the construction is obligated to provide the owner with an EPC.
SAP EPC
A Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) EPC is needed for new and converted properties. Converted properties are properties that have undergone a change in intended use like a commercial property that was converted into a residential property or a single-family unit that was converted into multiple flats.
SAP EPCs don’t require an on-site energy assessment. Instead, the assessor will require the drawing and specifications of the build from the contractor.
Avoid Penalties
If you attempt to renovate, convert, sell, rent out, or build a property without an EPC, you can get fined for non-compliance and will have to pay anything from £500 to £5,000.
You don’t need to worry, though. By choosing Energy Performance Certificates for your EPCs in Derby, you’ll get your certificate in no time.

The Energy Assessment Process
Energy Assessments don’t take long. An EPC inspection will, on average, take about 30 minutes to complete.
Inspection
Our assessor will check every room and examine key items that impact a property’s energy efficiency such as insulation, domestic boilers, radiators, hot water tanks, cavity walls, and so on. They might also take pictures of these items as evidence to support their findings.
Calculation
Once the inspection is done, our assessor will input their findings into an accredited software which calculates your property’s energy efficiency.
It gives a rating, a potential value for the property should the recommended improvements be implemented, and figures for its environmental impact.
Your certificate will be delivered to you soon after.
