Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about our compliance and energy efficiency services? We’ve answered the most common queries below to help you understand our process, legal requirements, and how ECOCS can support your property needs.
How long does the on-site assessment take?
For most standard properties, the survey takes between 30 and 60 minutes. Larger or more complex properties may take slightly longer.
How can I improve my EPC rating?
Common and effective ways to improve your rating include installing loft and cavity wall insulation, upgrading to double or triple-glazed windows, installing a modern A-rated condensing boiler, and switching to low-energy LED lighting.
What happens if my property gets a rating of F or G?
If you are a landlord, you will be legally required to make improvements to bring the property’s rating up to at least an ‘E’ before you can let it. We can provide guidance on the most cost-effective ways to achieve this.
Are your assessors certified and qualified?
We pride ourselves on a fast turnaround. You can typically expect to receive your digital EPC within 24-48 hours of the assessment being completed.
How quickly will I receive my certificate?
