Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) tell you how energy efficient a building is and give it a rating from A (very efficient) to G (inefficient). They’ll tell you how costly it will be to heat and light your property, and what its carbon dioxide emissions are likely to be.

An EPC also includes information on what the energy efficiency rating could be if you made the recommended improvements and highlights cost effective ways to achieve a better rating. Even if you rent your home, you could still implement some improvements noted on the EPC, such as switching to more energy efficient light bulbs.

EPCs are valid for 10 years from the date of issue.

Your property’s EPC needs to be available to potential buyers and tenants as soon as you start to market your property for sale or rent. You must get an approved domestic energy assessor to produce the EPC. If you’re buying or renting a property, an EPC allows you to compare the energy efficiency of different properties easily. You also require an EPC for a remortgage and to gain access to any grants.

An EPC also highlights the energy efficiency improvements you could make, how much they will cost, and how much you could save. This can be useful when looking to improve your current property, or if you’re looking to buy and improve.

Bear in mind that any figures for energy use and potential savings are for a typical household in that property – they’re not tailored to you, your family or housemates, or your lifestyle.

If you do implement any of the energy efficiency recommendations outlined in your EPC, you may wish to get a new EPC to include these improvements.

Brilliant

So quick and easy to use. Contacted me immediately with a date, arrived on time and very efficient and helpful. Great price too, half the price of estate agent quote. Highly recommended 👍

Great customer service

Luke was polite, helpful and very efficient. From start to finish, it was super quick to get an assessment appointment and to receive my certificate. All of my questions were answered and everything was explained very well. Thank you for great customer service Drew.

Very reliable and efficient service

Very reliable and efficient service ! Our assessor Anthony was very polite and helpful to speak to – Anthony was extremely responsive to my text messages and notified me when I was to receive my certificates which were as promised on the same day – Thank you immensely Drew !!

Can they really be this good

The technician was punctual, talked me through what he would be looking at and explained the process clearly and concisely. Examined the property quickly and effectively. He communicated effectively from booking to visit and was Professional at all times.
It was a pleasure to have a truly professional experience.
Thanks!

A first class service all round

I found MyContractors via a comparison website. I liked the price and within half an hour had got an appointment booked for the same week. I received a text an hour before Tim arrived, and he was on time.
During the survey I received lots of advice and explanation of the process and why the rating was as it was. All round this was an excellent service conducted in a professional, polite and friendly way.
I would thoroughly recommend Tim & MyConstructors.
