EPC SW7 South Kensington
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are a useful way to save money on your energy bills. This is true whether you are a domestic or commercial property owner in SW7 South Kensington. In fact, EPCs are so useful that the Government introduced them as legal obligations in 2007 for anyone who is going to sell or let their property. Surviving from the now defunct Home Information Packs (HIPs), EPCs have proven to be vital tools in the fight to cut down the amount of wasted energy produced in this country.
What is an EPC?
An Energy Performance Certificate is essentially an energy performance rating for your property. A qualified energy assessor will inspect your property for the ways in which it uses different forms of energy, how well insulated it is, what types of fuel it uses etc. and compares it to other properties of a similar size and type. This standardised assessment gives a fair and accurate representation of where your property stands in terms of its efficient use of energy.
What information do EPCs provide?
The actual EPC documentation will feature a Bar Chart which features your properties energy efficiency rating. This will be marked on a scale from A to G, with properties nearest to A being the most efficient. There will also be an estimated running cost listed for your property as well as the amount it could cost if you make some improvements to the your property. This combines with recommendations for improvements to show just how easy and cheap it is to make your home more energy efficient while displaying the financial benefits of improving your SW7 South Kensington home’s rating.
