Residential Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)

What is an EPC Certificate?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal requirement for properties being sold or rented in the UK. It provides an energy efficiency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and offers recommendations to landlords, tenants and homeowners on how to improve a property's energy performance.  

At Ignite Gas Care, our engineers can help you with an EPC rating for your property.

Why Do You Need an EPC Certificate?

If you are a landlord, letting agent, or homeowner, having a valid EPC certificate is an essential factor in being compliant with UK property regulations. As of 2018, UK properties must meet a minimum energy efficiency rating of E to be legally sold or rented out. An EPC rating also helps prospective buyers and tenants to know and understand the energy costs of a property.  

When Selling a Property

The law states before you sell your property or put it on the market, you must have ordered or obtained a Residential EPC. Your estate agent is then required to upload your full EPC within 28 days of commencement.

When Renting a Property

Again, the current law states every landlord possesses an EPC which can be made available for a potential tenant’s perusal. We offer a high quality service at competitive prices, depending on the area and type of property in question.

Our EPC Survey Process

At Ignite Gas Care, our certified engineers will conduct a thorough EPC assessment to evaluate your property’s energy efficiency. In four simple steps, our engineers will have everything necessary for your property to be EPC certified:

• An Ignite Gas Care engineer will come to your property and conduct a detailed survey, assessing your insulation, heating systems, and windows.
• Based on the findings from the survey and any other relevant paperwork that you have to hand (i.e. any paperwork that acts as a record for insulation, windows, boilers and building work), we’ll calculate your property’s overall energy efficiency rating.
• Our engineer will go away and write up a full EPC report, with tailored recommendations for energy improvements for your property.
• Following the report, we’ll send you an official EPC certificate. This certificate will be valid for 10 years from the date of issue.
