What Is An Edinburgh EPC?
In Edinburgh, an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is needed whenever a property is built, sold or rented out and, in Scotland, you must display a domestic EPC somewhere in the property, such as the meter cupboard or next to the boiler.
An EPC has information about a property’s energy use and typical costs. It also gives recommendations about how to reduce energy and save money. It gives a property an energy efficiency rating and is valid for 10 years.
What Does The EPC Do?
The EPC rates a building’s performance in terms of energy use per square metre of floor area, energy efficiency based on fuel costs and environmental impact based on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Getting an assessment and EPC can help you identify ways to save money on your energy bills and improve the comfort of the building.
Scottish legislation insists that an approved energy assessor prepares and produces the EPC. A qualified and accredited Edinburgh energy assessor from ‘EPC For You’ can visit your property to collect data required for assessing energy features and generating your property’s own bespoke EPC using government-approved software.

How Can An EPC Help?
The EPC is colour-coded from green to red, with the green end of the scale indicating that the property is very energy efficient with lower running costs, and the red end of the scale indicating it is not energy efficient and has higher running costs. As well as the legally required format and information, your EPC can also make recommendations to improve the building’s energy efficiency. These are not just general recommendations, but ones made bespoke to your Edinburgh property. You don’t have to follow them, but taking on these recommendations can increase your property’s value and, after carrying out the improvements, you may wish to get a fresh EPC produced to reflect the higher energy efficiency and make your property even more marketable. If you are a landlord, with an EPC you can reassure prospective tenants that the energy rating has been assessed to a high degree of accuracy, which brings with it tenants more likely to remain.
