Key aspects of a Domestic Energy Performance Certificate:
Energy Efficiency Rating: The EPC includes an energy efficiency rating, which is represented on a scale from A to G, with A being the most efficient and G being the least efficient. The rating is based on factors such as the property's insulation, heating system, lighting, and other energy-related features.
Environmental Impact Rating: The certificate also includes an environmental impact rating, which indicates the property's carbon dioxide emissions. Like the energy efficiency rating, this rating is shown on a scale from A to G, with A being the lowest emissions and G being the highest.
Recommendations for Improvements: The EPC typically includes recommendations for improving the energy efficiency of the property. These recommendations may include suggestions for installing energy-efficient lighting, improving insulation, upgrading heating systems, or other measures that can help reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills.
Validity: A Domestic Energy Performance Certificate is valid for a period of ten years, after which it may need to be renewed if the property is still being sold or rented out.
Legal Requirement: It is a legal requirement for homeowners, landlords, and sellers to provide an EPC to potential buyers or tenants when a property is marketed for sale or rent. Failure to provide an EPC can result in penalties.
Overall, a Domestic Energy Performance Certificate provides valuable information to homeowners, landlords, buyers, and tenants about the energy efficiency and environmental impact of a property, helping them make informed decisions and take steps to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions.
