What is an EPC and What Does It Tell You?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) provides information about the energy efficiency of your home or rental property. It does this by using a scale from A-G, with A being the most efficient and G being the least efficient. The certificate will also provide estimated energy costs for running your property, as well as potential savings that could be made if certain improvements such as insulation were installed.
Benefits of Having an EPC
Homeowners and landlords in Eastleigh can benefit from obtaining an EPC. For starters, it allows you to get a clearer understanding of how much energy your property uses, which can help you make decisions about any improvements that need to be made. Additionally, having an up-to-date EPC on record can make selling or renting your property easier since potential buyers or renters will know exactly how efficient their new home will be before committing to purchase or rent it.
Government Regulations
The government has put regulations in place that require homeowners and landlords in Eastleigh to obtain an EPC before they list their property on the market. This means that anyone who wants to sell or rent out their home must have an up-to-date certificate that states the energy efficiency rating of their property as well as any suggestions for improvement if necessary. Failure to do so could result in hefty fines imposed by the local authority, so it is important to understand these regulations and take action accordingly.
What Access Does an EPC Assessor Need When Inspecting a Property?
An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) assessor typically needs access to all areas of a property that they are assessing, including:
- All rooms: The assessor will need to assess the energy efficiency of all the rooms in the property, so they will need access to all rooms including bedrooms, living rooms, kitchen, bathroom, etc.
- Loft and attic: The assessor will need to check the insulation in the loft and attic space.
- Boiler and heating system: The assessor will need to inspect the boiler and heating system, including any controls and thermostats.
- Windows and doors: The assessor will need to check the type of glazing and frames used in windows and doors.
- Lighting: The assessor will need to check the type of lighting used in the property, including the light fittings and bulbs.
- Roof insulation: The assessor will need to check the insulation in the roof space.
- Cavity walls: If the property has cavity walls, the assessor will need to inspect them to check if they are insulated.
In order to access all these areas, the assessor may need to move furniture or other items temporarily. The homeowner or occupier should make sure that there is clear access to all areas of the property before the assessment takes place.
