Why Check Your EPC?
An EPC gives you a clear picture of a property's energy performance, running costs, and what you can do to improve it.
Understand Energy Costs
See estimated annual heating, hot water, and lighting costs. Compare current costs against what you could save with improvements.
Buying or Renting
An EPC is legally required for selling or renting. Check a property's rating before you commit. Rentals must be at least an E rating.
Improve and Save
Your EPC includes specific recommendations to improve your rating. Many improvements pay for themselves through lower energy bills.
