At ECOCS, we believe that sustainability begins with the right choices today. Whether it’s ensuring your property meets compliance standards, improving safety, or adopting energy-efficient solutions, we make the process hassle-free and effective.
In the UK, special people called energy assessors check how well your home uses energy. They look at all sorts of things, like the type of house you have, how big it is, and how old it is. They also check how much energy you use to heat and light your home.
How Do Energy Assessors Check Your Home?
Energy assessors use a special system called SAP to check your home. SAP looks at all the factors that affect how much energy your home needs. These include the type of walls, windows, and doors you have, and whether you have any renewable energy sources like solar panels or wind turbines.
What Do I Get When My Home Is Checked?
Once the energy assessor has checked your home, they will give you an EPC certificate. This certificate tells you how efficient your home is at using energy. It also gives you tips on how to make your home more energy efficient.
How Long Does My EPC Rating Last?
Your EPC rating is valid for ten years. This means that you don’t need to get a new one unless you make major changes to your home, like changing the type of heating system you have.
