Energy Performance Certificate EPC Enfield EN1, EN2 and EN3

An Energy Performance Certificate EPC Enfield EN1, EN2 and EN3 measures the energy efficiency of a property on a scale of A-G.  Energy Performance Certificates were introduced in England and Wales in 2007 and are a legal requirement for a building to be sold, let or constructed.

Once obtained, an EPC is valid for 10 years.  The Certificate also tells you, about the impact the home has on the environment. Better-rated homes should have less impact through Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions.

The average property in the UK is in bands D for the EPC rating. The Certificate includes recommendations on ways to improve the home’s energy efficiency to save you money and help the environment.

If however, you need a SAP EPC, please do see our SAP Calculations Page, for more information.

EPC – Energy Performance Certificate

The EPC is required by law when a building is constructed, sold or put up for rent. You will also need an EPC if you are applying for a feed in tariff for solar panels.  The EPC is valid for 10 years.

As soon as you call us an Energy Assessor will be dedicated to your case.  The assessor will handle your assessment from start to finish.  They will book an appointment with you and send you email confirmation through our software.

Once the Energy Assessor has visited the property you will have your report completed within 24 hours. You will be emailed the link to your official Energy Performance Certificate EPC.

There’s no pass or fail with an EPC. Instead, it ranks your property on a scale of A to G. However, if you’re renting your home, you’ll need a minimum rating of E for both new and existing new tenancies.

If your building fails however, we will look to work with you to achieve a pass offering practical solutions.

Whilst at the property the assessor will gather the required data and evidence to support his findings. The householder should have any evidence to support the presence of insulation to the floors, walls and roof available for the assessor at the time of the inspection. If there is no evidence then the assessor will simply state in the EPC software ‘insulation unknown’. The software will then make assumptions based on the age and construction of the building as to whether insulation is present. Next to this assumption the word ‘assumed’ will appear. This is not stating that insulation is definitely /definitely not present but is simply an assumption made by the software.

Once complete an EPC can not be updated. If insulation evidence comes to light after the EPC is lodged the old EPC can be cancelled and a new one produced. There will be a charge for this.
