Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)

This officially recognised certificate grades how energy efficient your home is. And it tells you what your cost savings and carbon savings would be if you made your home more energy efficient. We’ll register your certificate with the government to make it official.2

Having a valid, current EPC can be a crucial part of applying for grants, selling your home, or getting solar panels installed.
