Energy Performance Certificates FAQ
What is an energy assessment?
An accredited Energy Assessor visits the property to collect only the data required for assessing energy features and generates an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) using government-approved software. The assessment is based on the construction and type of dwelling and relevant fittings (heating systems, insulation or double glazing, for example). It is not a structural or building survey, condition report or property valuation.
The costs shown on the EPC are higher than my actual energy bills for the year. Why is this?
EPCs use standardised assumptions to make properties directly comparable while still reflecting the features of individual properties. The EPC costs are based on a number of assumptions: a standardised heating pattern, number of occupants, hot water usage, etc. These factors vary appreciably between different households, even if living in similar properties.
Why are the potential heating costs greater than the current ones when the EPC recommends installing low-energy lighting?
The EPC provides an indication of the potential energy performance of the property and, in this case, has identified that the current boiler is not the most efficient boiler available. The recommendation to improve the boiler to a more energy-efficient boiler is made purely on the energy efficiency rating of the boiler and is not a reflection of the age or condition of the currently installed boiler. This recommendation identifies that more efficient boilers are available and that a homeowner should consider this when they next have to replace the boiler.
My recent EPC recommends changing my current boiler to a new condensing boiler, but I have only recently had my boiler changed. Why is this?
The EPC indicates the potential energy performance of the property and, in this case, has identified that the current boiler is not the most efficient boiler available. The recommendation to improve the boiler to a more energy-efficient boiler is made purely on the energy efficiency rating of the boiler. It does not reflect the age or condition of the currently installed boiler. This recommendation identifies that more efficient boilers are available and that a homeowner should consider this when they next have to replace the boiler.
