Energy Performance Certificates – why are they so important?
An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) is a vital document which
will help you make your home more energy efficient and also reduce
your carbon dioxide emissions (carbon footprint).
All homes bought, sold or rented legally require an EPC, however, it
is important that the report is carried out by a professional assessor.
Lewis Energy
of St Austell are accredited by Stroma which means
they have all the training, experience and certification needed to
offer a first class service.
They are also members of Devon & Cornwall Home Inspectors,
further evidence of their investment and experience.
They present a thorough and comprehensive EPC report which not
only gives you information on your home’s energy use and carbon
dioxide emissions, but then goes on to tell you how these can be
reduced.
Every home is graded as ‘A’, most energy efficient down to ‘G’, least
energy efficient with the average home being rated as ‘D.’
The report does not just tell you your rating, it goes on to tell you
why you have achieved this rating and how to improve the energy
efficiency of your home.
Some of the main areas are obvious, loft insulation, double glazing,
cavity wall insulation for instance, however, there are a host of other
areas which can be considered.
This is necessary work when you consider 27% of all carbon dioxide
emissions come from domestic homes.
