Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
If you’re buying, selling or renting a property chances are you’ll have come across an EPC. It’s a document that tells you how energy efficient your home is on a scale from A-G. So, if your home has an A rating it will be cheaper to run than if it was a G.
When you get an Energy Performance Certificate, it will tell you the score that your home currently has, and the score it could achieve with some improvements. If you follow the advice, you could save yourself money on your household bills.
For example, changing a three-bedroom semi-detached house from an energy rated G to an A could save around £4,000 across three years on energy bills.3
