What is an EPC
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a vital document that rates the energy efficiency of a property on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It provides valuable insights into a building’s energy use, estimated costs, and clear recommendations for improvement. Whether you're selling, letting, or simply aiming to reduce energy bills, an EPC empowers you to make smarter, greener choices. In the UK, EPCs are legally required when a property is marketed and remain valid for 10 years. Having an up-to-date EPC isn’t just a legal box to tick – it’s a step toward a more sustainable and cost-efficient home.
