An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is required whenever a property is constructed, sold, or rented. It may also be necessary when making home energy improvements. The EPC evaluates a property’s energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It details the property’s energy usage, estimated energy costs, and suggests possible upgrades. Valid for 10 years, the EPC offers valuable insights for property owners, helping them make improvements that can lower energy bills and boost efficiency.
