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.
Homes in Port Talbot range from older terraced and period properties through to more recent developments, so EPCs are needed for a wide mix of house types — terraces, semi-detached and detached houses, converted flats and newer builds.
What the assessor looks at
During the visit the assessor inspects the property and records details that affect its energy performance, including:
- the size and layout of the home
- property age and construction type
- the heating system and its controls
- insulation
- windows and glazing
- lighting
- any renewable technologies such as solar panels
- 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.
How soon can I get an EPC in Port Talbot?
