Why the EPCs are so important!

Nearly 40 per cent of the UK's energy consumption arises from the way in which our 25 million buildings are lit, heated and used. Even comparatively minor changes in energy performance and the way we use each building will have a significant effect in reducing energy consumption - and therefore carbon emissions.

The Energy Performance Certificate is part of new measures to improve property efficiency. It includes suggestions to enable homeowners to improve the energy efficiency of their property, reduce energy consumption, and make homes more attractive to potential purchasers.

The certificate also provides contact details for the Energy Savings Trust, where you can find information regarding grants and discounts. It will list simple ways that changes in behaviour can save you energy and money - without the need for any works.

The EPC is a legally required document, therefore it is essential the information contained within the report is accurate. As a regulated supplier of Energy Performance Certificates, Poole Hips insures the quality of all assessments and certificates issued.
