What is a Domestic EPC?
A domestic EPC is a certificate that showcases your property’s energy efficiency. It’s required by law if you want to sell or rent out your house.
Despite the fact that predicting operational energy use is not the purpose of EPCs, there is significant uncertainty in their ratings. This study estimates the national level of this uncertainty for domestic dwellings.

When you sell or rent a property, it is important to have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). This document gives a rating for the energy efficiency of the building, as well as recommendations on how to improve its efficiency. It is a legal requirement to have an EPC before selling or renting out your property. If you don’t have an EPC, you could face fines from your local council.
The process of getting an EPC involves a surveyor visiting the building to assess its energy efficiency. It is recommended that you prepare your home before this visit to make sure the survey goes smoothly. This can include ensuring that any works you’ve had done are complete, such as a new double glazing installation with a FENSA certificate or loft insulation. You should also keep any paperwork you have to prove that you’ve had work done, such as a gas or electricity bill.
Before the assessment starts, you should ensure that the assessor can access all areas of your property. This includes ensuring that you have easy access to your gas and electric meters, so the assessor can accurately record your energy usage. You should also ensure that the assessor can see any wall insulation, as this is a key component of the rating.
Once the assessment is complete, the assessor will create your EPC. The EPC will display the rating for your property on an alphabetical scale of A to G. A high rating means that your property is very efficient, while a low rating means it’s not very efficient. It is illegal to rent out a property with an EPC rating below a C, so it’s essential that you comply with the regulations.
If you are looking to get an EPC, it’s important to find a trusted and reputable company like Get EPC Certificate. Look for a Domestic Energy Assessor that has been accredited and DBS checked, as this will ensure that your information is secure and confidential.
The EPC Typically Comprises Five or Six Pages, Including:
- ‘A’ to ‘G’ ratings for the building, with ‘A’ being the most energy efficient and ‘G’ being the least, with the average being ‘D’.
- A calculation of the carbon footprint of the dwelling.
- A summary of the efficiency of the main parts of the property.
- Specific recommendations to reduce the carbon footprint with an indication of cost savings if undertaken.
