An EPC provides a record of the energy efficiency rating of a building and is assessed on a scale of A – G. The most efficient homes will have a rating at the upper end of that scale. New homes are rated between A and C and older homes between England and E – G. The average rating is D.
If your property does not reach the rating you expected then please do not be concerned as this depends on many factors, such as, insulation thickness, age of boiler and property age. The certificate will recommend any improvements you could do to upgrade this rating and improve your home’s efficiency which can save you money and help the environment.
