These days, everyone's heard of carbon footprints and most home owners are aware of increased requirements to reduce domestic energy consumption throughout the UK.
The key to efficient use of domestic energy in the Ormskirk area is an Energy report including an Energy Performance Certificate.
What is an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ?
An Energy Performance Certificate is a detailed assessment of the thermal performance of your home. It takes into account such factors as construction type, size & age of your home, the water, heating and lighting systems and an overall account of thermal insulation levels. When completed the information is used to provide a report which details the Energy Efficiency Rating.
Why do I need an Energy Performance Certificate?
UK homes are responsible for approximately 30% of all carbon emissions and EPCs are part of a European legislation to help reduce carbon emissions.
Energy Performance Certificates will inform you how you can reduce the heat losses from your home, reduce your fuel bills and reduce your carbon emissions.
What else can an Energy Performance Certificate tell me?
The Energy Performance Certificate forms part of a detailed report which tells you how energy efficient your home is, in terms of energy usage and how much Carbon Dioxide it produces every year. The EPC also recommends ways of improving the thermal performance and environmental impact of your home and shows what the ratings would be if you implemented these improvements.
If you carry out the recommendations of the Energy report then your home will be more energy efficient and therefore more attractive to potential purchasers.
An Energy Performance Certificate forms part of the now compulsory Home Information Pack which is essential as part of the home buying and selling process. Click here to find out more about our Home Information pack services.
