EPC Berwick upon Tweed

 

What is an EPC?

An Energy Performance Certificate or EPC is a document which provides information on the energy efficiency of a building. The information on an EPC will include;

  • A colour coded rating for the building from A (The most efficient) to G (The least efficient).
  • What improvements could be made to the property to make it more efficient.
  • The cost and savings of these improvements, and the rating after they have been carried out.
  • How much energy is required to run and heat your property.

 

Why do I need an EPC?

There are several circumstances that could mean you require an EPC;

  • If you are planning on selling or renting a property then you must have a valid EPC that is available to potential buyers or tenants.
  • To prove that the property is above band D rating in order to qualify for Feed-in Tariff payments (FITS) at the higher rate for solar PV electricty generation.
  • To Qualify for the domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) an EPC is required in order to prove that the property is a domestic dwelling and to calculate the qualifying energy requirement.
  • If you are interested in finding out the efficiency of your home, and how it can be improved.

 

How much will it cost?

Premier Plumbing & Heating have fully qualified and accredited assessors available to carry out EPC’s on your property. We charge £65+vat per certificate, unless the building is unusually large, in which case the fee may be slightly higher, and will produce your certificate within 48hrs.
