** Data from Energy
Saving Trust
Around one third of heat
is lost through the walls and around one quarter through
the roof of a typical home. Also inadequate heating
controls and non energy saving lamps can waste energy.
Our Energy Assessors (DEAs)
will provide you with a comprehensive report (Energy
Performance Certificate – EPC) that will outline the
Energy Efficiency of your property and the individual
elements: walls, roof, windows, heating system(s),
heating controls, hot water generation and lighting.
The report will also
show typical cost savings that can be made if the
recommendations are carried out based on “standard
occupancy” assumptions.
Energy Performance
Certificate - EPC
The EPC is the same
document that is required when a property is placed on
the market for sale or rent and it can only be
issued by a qualified and accredited Home Inspector or
Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA).
Recommendations made by
the official government body Ofgem in 2009 stated that
“It is extremely important that the identification of
G-rated boilers to be replaced be conducted by an
independent party. The best way to achieve this is
through EPCs. Boilers for early replacement identified
as G-rated; and confirmed as working, via an
independent assessor and EPC”.
So why not commission
an independent official report on the energy efficiency
of your home including your boiler and find out the
recommendations that can be made to improve it and
reduce your heating and lighting bills!
