Looking for ways to make your home more energy efficient and not sure where to start? We're here to help. We are now offering Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) for a fixed fee of £79 - regardless of where you are or the size of your home.
An EPC is a home energy survey that shows you how energy efficient your home is and includes a list of recommendations on how to improve your energy efficiency. It’s a legal requirement to have an EPC if you're selling, leasing or renting a property. But even if you're not selling your home, it's worth having a look at your property's EPC to find out what you can do to reduce your energy bills and carbon emissions.
An EPC will give your property an energy rating from A (very efficient) to G (inefficient) and is valid for 10 years. You can access any home's EPC through the government's website.
Our job doesn't stop after the EPC is issued.
Getting an EPC through EDF means we’ll be with you from start to finish. After you receive your EPC, we'll be in contact to help you with any recommendations you've received, by getting you in touch with our preferred installers. This means you can avoid the hassle of contacting lots of different companies for quotes. Whether it's increasing your loft insulation or installing solar panels, you can do it all through EDF.
