What is an Energy Performance Certificate?

An Energy Performance Certificate, commonly refered to as an EPC, is a document which is required when a property is to be sold or rented out. If you are selling or renting out a property in or around Edinburgh you should order your EPC for potential buyers or tenants before you market the property. The energy performance certificate I provide is compliant with regulations for both the rental or sale of the property. The information on the EPC will help owners and occupiers make their property more energy efficient and allow potential buyers and tenants to compare the energy efficiency of different properties.

I will provide your EPC at fair fixed price with no extra costs on the day. The price I quote is the price you will pay. I provide a personal and professional service. I look forward to providing your EPC so please call now to book an appointment.

EPC Prices in Edinburgh. There are lots of factors which can affect the cost of your epc such as travel time and fuel costs.

I have put together some tips on how to improve your energy performance certificate rating. Please read this advice before I attend your property.

Energy Efficiancy Rating Tips:

1. Try and make sure as many of your fixed light fittings as possible have low energy lamps fitted. This will improve the epc rating.
2. If you have a hot water tank, make sure there is plenty of insulation around it. Good insulation can make a significant difference to the epc rating
3. Loft insulation. If I cannot see the loft is insulated because either I cannot gain loft access or because the loft is boarded over I have to report insulation as 'unknown' which could have a negative effect on the epc rating. Please have any paperwork available to prove loft insulation is fitted.
4. Cavity wall insulation can have a substantial impact on the epc rating. If you have cavity wall insulation which is not visible due to the property having been rendered after installation this can loIr the epc rating as I have to assume there is none. Please make sure you have the paperwork available if your cavity walls have been insulated.
5. If your double glazed windows Ire fitted after 2002 and the date is not visible in the units, please have paperwork available to show the installation date. This can have a positive effect on the EPC.
6. Boiler information: I will try to establish the exact make and model of the gas or oil heating boiler. Where this is possible, the exact efficiency of the boiler can be established. This is likely to give a higher epc score than the software default setting for the type of boiler. Establishing the boiler details from visual inspection can be difficult, so please have any information manuals or service history available.

I have provided many Energy Performance Certificates in and around Edinburgh and word of mouth and reviews are an important part of getting word of my EPC service spread around. Please take a short amount of time to leave me a review if I have provided your EPC.
