EPC Clitheroe
Looking for an EPC in Clitheroe? Get in touch with a local accredited energy assessor to check when they are free, confirm the cost and arrange a visit.
An Energy Performance Certificate summarises how energy efficient a home is, scoring it from A down to G. In most cases a valid EPC must be in place before a property is marketed to buyers or tenants.
The housing in and around Clitheroe covers everything from older and period homes to post-war housing and modern estates. That means EPCs are regularly carried out on terraces, semis, detached houses, flats and new-build properties.
What the assessor looks at
The assessment is a straightforward survey in which the assessor records the property's key characteristics, including:
- the size and layout of the home
- property age and construction type
- the heating system and its controls
- insulation
- any renewable technologies such as solar panels
- windows and glazing
- lighting
- any energy efficiency upgrades you have evidence of
This information feeds into the final rating and a list of recommended improvements. Period or non-standard homes can take slightly longer to assess, so let the assessor know about any quirks in advance.
