Energy Performance Certificates in Salisbury
The benefits of understanding your energy consumption cannot be understated. With more efficient use, you’ll have lower energy bills, a lower carbon footprint and improved environmental sustainability. An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) helps you understand exactly how much energy your property uses.
An EPC provides an A-G rating according to the building's environmental impact, which can also help to identify potential improvements. It will also indicate the amount of carbon dioxide emissions produced by your property.
At Energy Performance Certificates, we can evaluate properties and provide an accurate and thorough EPC report within 24 hours. Our assessors are experienced and highly qualified to issue EPCs in Salisbury.
What is an EPC?
EPCs are required for any person who buys, sells or rents a property. An EPC assesses a building's energy consumption and efficiency. According to the Energy Act 2011, it is illegal to let facilities that do not meet energy performance standards.
Additionally, an EPC gives building owners guidance on areas to improve as part of a cost-effective upgrade, resulting in long-term savings on energy bills. EPCs are valid for ten years after the date of issuance.
A-G Rating
The EPC rating is based on a 1-10 scale, which follows letter grades of A-G. The higher the rating, the more efficient the building is. Exploring the recommendations in the report and switching to a more green energy supplier are effective actions one can take towards achieving an optimal EPC rating.
Types of EPCs
Residential
A residential EPC provides a personal roadmap of the steps needed to create a more sustainable home—making it well worth the investment! It is a detailed report of a home’s energy usage and potential improvements that can help lower energy costs.
Commercial
With commercial EPC, owners can benefit from the efficient operation of their building since all work will be done following legal requirements and professional standards. Overall, commercial EPCs keep buildings in optimal condition while avoiding unnecessary costs due to pending repairs or replacements.
SAP
New dwellings built by conversion or change of use need SAP carried out. The assessor will then produce an EPC detailing the build's energy efficiency. Unlike regular EPCs, SAPs only require architecture plans, drawings, and construction information. Onsite visits are not necessary.
Benefits of Obtaining an EPC
An energy performance certificate offers many advantages to property owners, tenants and buyers.
