If you would like to know what to expect from your EPC you could fill out the free Energy Saving Trust
Home Energy Check which
will give you a rough idea of what ratings to expect or what improvement to make
before hand. The HEC uses
similar software as the EPC to work out your energy efficiency rating
At Alphalets we're dedicated to helping landlords and tenants to save energy at home. Alphalets are keen to encourage our landlord and tenant partners to evaluate domestic energy use, and think about how they might reduce energy expenditure domestically, about how a change in behaviour can save money on utility bills.
In accordance with The Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2007, each home rented through Alphalets will include an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). This document serves to quantify the "current" and "potential" Energy Efficiency and Environmental Impact of a property.
An EPC will go some way to demonstrate to landlords and tenants where improvements, if any, can be made, as well as estimating how much a household could save on utilities annually.
The Energy Saving Trust are a non-profit organisation set up to promote positive measures combating climate change, lowering carbon dioxide emissions, and the use of sustainable energy sources.
