How Can We Help?
Because an EPC is a legal requirement In Bristol, for those wishing to sell property or lease it, UK legislation insists that the EPC is prepared by an approved assessor. For domestic properties, an accredited domestic energy assessor is required; for non-domestic properties the type of assessor depends on the level of the building. Registers of the correct assessors are available via the government website, and ‘EPC For You’ can supply you with a registered Bristol, Bath or Swindon assessor bespoke to your needs.
Our EPCs Assessors
All EPC assessors belong to an approved government accreditation scheme of which there are ten such schemes run by differing bodies such as the Building Research Establishment (BRE) and the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE). All schemes must have been registered with the Department for Communities and Local Government.
With ‘EPC For You’, a friendly and professional EPC assessor will visit your property to conduct the assessment, accessing every room in the property. Heating and lighting are important in producing an accurate assessment and the number and type of fixed lighting will be considered. The EPC will take account of room thermostats and thermostatic radiator valves fitted as well as any other forms of heating, particularly in domestic properties.
Helping You
Using their observations, the ‘EPC For You’ energy assessor places them into a government-approved software program in order to perform the energy efficiency calculation. The program gives a value for the energy efficiency rating as well as a recommended value which represents the potential improvement that could be made to the property for energy conservation purposes. Based on this information, the EPC will show how good or bad your property’s energy efficiency is. The EPC assessor will also provide practical recommendations to increase the building’s energy efficiency rating, and, if you need further advice, ‘EPC For You’ can talk you through the scores and recommendations.
