Energy Performance Certificate Kirkburton from £65 Get Quote Now

The energy efficiency rating will be displayed on an A to G scale. The least efficient buildings will be rated G and the most efficient will be rated A.

As well as a current rating for the property, a potential rating will also be shown, which is the energy efficiency rating after all recommendations have been applied to the property.

For England, Wales and Northern Ireland the current EPC rating will be shown at the top of the EPC.

The rating is actually based on cost factors such as the type of fuel used for heating, hot water, lighting and ventilation.

Currently if the property uses main gas it will score higher on the energy efficiency rating than a property which uses electricity. This is due to mains gas being cheaper per p/kWh than electricity.

The EPC will breakdown each building feature/element (Walls, Windows, Hot water) in terms of its energy performance, it does not consider the actual working condition of the feature.

In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, the scale moves from very good (most efficient) to very poor (least efficient), and is calculated from the energy efficiency cost rating and the environment (CO2) rating.

In Scotland however, each feature is scored out of 5 stars for its energy performance and environmental impact.

No rating is given for floors and secondary heating systems. Different descriptions will also be given for new build properties.

As with the energy efficiency rating, the environmental impact of the property is shown as an A to G rating.

This is once again based on assumptions about average occupancy and energy use. They may not reflect how energy is consumed by the people living in the property.

You can also draw comparisons with other households here and see the property’s potential production of CO2 following recommendations (this is shown as a rating for Scotland)

You will be provided with a list of recommendations/recommended measures for improving the property’s energy performance.

The indicative cost (Scotland) or typical installation cost is based on average installation prices so may not be representative of the actual cost in your area.

The recommendations provided are cumulative meaning that they should be installed in the order they appear on the EPC to achieve the potential energy efficiency rating. Should you choose not to follow the order they appear in, the potential energy efficiency rating may change.

Scotland’s EPC will also show how recommendations will impact the environment rating after improvement.

The estimated energy cost for the property shows how much the average household would spend in this property for heating, lighting and hot water. It is not based on how energy is used by the people living at the property.

Once again the potential saving is based on recommended measures being implemented.

Scotland Domestic EPCs will show the average and potential cost for heating, lighting and hot water over a 3 year period rather than yearly.

Also linked to this section is the heating use (or heat demand) in the property which shows the estimated energy use in kWh (Kilowatt hours) per year.
