The Importance of an Energy Performance Certificate

By: PRLog
PR Log - Oct 08, 2012 - Moving your family to a new home or your business to new premises can be very pricey. Additional costs are always unwelcome but especially at such a busy and financially straining time. So the appeal of paying for your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) may seem minimal. However seeking an EPC could save you unprecedented amounts of money in the future.

Many people will be asking ‘What is an EPC?’ An Energy Performance Certificate is the result of a myriad of expert Building Surveyors, Home Inspectors and Home and Commercial Energy Assessors inspecting a building’s energy consumption and carbon emissions. The EPC will demonstrate how much energy and money your home or commercial business will waste year to year. The results are demonstrated on a graph from A to G with A being the most energy efficient and economical.

Whether it be through a lack of insulation, single glazed windows or any of the other hundreds of ways in which heat, energy and money can leak out of your home or business; the highly trained team will seek to save you money.

Keeping your family housed, safe and warm are some of the most important responsibilities in a person’s life. Correctly and comprehensively utilising an EPC will help you achieve all those tasks whilst saving money.

By addressing and fixing the issues that blight the premises in question, the individual or business could save money in the long term. For a small initial outlay, your investment will almost definitely benefit you financially in the passing of time.

Whilst an EPC is a legal requirement for anyone involved in the selling, renting or buying, the tests carried out are not always totally effective. To fully ensure that all options are considered and the applicable attentions are alerted, specialist companies can provide comprehensive investigations, saving you money in the long run.

A commercial EPC could save businesses incredible amounts of money when they are moving property. Alternatively it is always wise to check the energy performance of a premises after years of inactivity. Buildings and their insulations may diminish slightly in terms of energy redemption over a period of time.

Away from the financial benefits of the EPC, the environment is also a great winner. Releasing less carbon emissions when problems are amended, the improved apartments are more environmentally friendly. Greater peace of mind for your children’s generation can be sought by acquiring a fully comprehensive EPC.
