Energy Performance Certificates and Their Uses
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are a legal necessity for properties being sold or let in the United Kingdom. This does not mean that they are just pointless, red-tape documents that you are obliged to get for no real reason other than to inconvenience you. In fact, Energy Performance Certificates can prove to be invaluable when it comes to improving the ways in which energy is being used in your home. Rather than this just being a point to attract eco-warriors around the London, it should be something for any property owner, at any period of their residency at their address, to consider because a higher energy efficiency rating for your property means much cheaper energy bills as a result.
Energy Performance Certificates are probably best known for their energy efficiency bar chart. The bar chart is where the energy efficiency rating of your property is displayed as both a numerical figure and as a lettered grade from A to G. Essentially, the higher the letter grade you receive for your property, the better you property is at retaining and using energy.
One of the best features for property owners who commission Energy Performance Certificates are the recommendations for improvements to your property. The Energy Performance Certificates all feature cost-effective solutions to strengthen the weakest areas of your property in terms of energy efficiency to help you save a great deal of money in the long run. If you have lived, or plan to live, in your property for a very long time, Energy Performance Certificates and their improvements could not be more strongly recommended to help you start saving money on spiralling energy bills.
