Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)

Official domestic energy assessments, cost-saving recommendations, and legal landlord compliance.

An EPC ranks your property’s energy efficiency from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). Valid for 10 years, it provides essential data on estimated energy costs, carbon emissions, and smart insulation or heating upgrades. Fix-A-Lot delivers fast, accurate, and fully accredited assessments across County Durham.


Why Do You Need an EPC?

  • ⚖️ Legal Requirement: You must provide a valid EPC by law if you are selling a property, letting to a new or existing tenant, or building a home.
  • 🏢 Landlord Compliance (MEES): Rental properties must achieve an E-rating or higher to legally comply with Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards.
  • 💷 Bill Reductions: Pinpoints cost-effective improvements to slash monthly heating costs and increase tenant comfort.
  • 🌍 Grant Access: Unlocks vital pathways to energy efficiency grants, eco-funding, and increased overall property value.

What the Assessment Covers

During a thorough on-site property inspection, I evaluate the key components affecting your energy score:

  • Thermal Performance: Surveying existing loft, cavity wall, or floor insulation levels.
  • Heating Systems: Checking primary boiler efficiency, water cylinders, and heating controls.
  • Lighting Infrastructure: Calculating the ratio of fixed, high-efficiency low-energy lighting.
  • The Official Certificate: You receive your official, government-logged digital EPC document, detailed potential ratings, and recommended upgrades.
