Energy Surveys (change to Energy Performance Certificates)
SCARF provides a comprehensive Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) service.
We are registered through the BRE (British Research Establishment) EPC accreditation scheme and have fully trained Domestic Energy Assessors to provide EPCs for Private and Social Landlords, Estate Agents, Letting Agents and Individual Home Owners.
What are Energy Performance Certificates?
Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) give energy ratings for homes, similar to the energy rating on domestic appliances. Along with the certificate the EPC also provides an Energy Report which gives recommendations on how to upgrade the property and improve its energy rating.
EPCs are mandatory for all Private Properties at the point of sale and for Private Rented Properties when there is a change in tennant. Once produced they are valid for 10 years.
What does an EPC involve?
The survey will take around 45 minutes depending on the size of the property. It is a non-invasive and our assessor will:
. Take measurements of the property.
. Collect data to help establish the age and construction type of the original building and of any extensions.
. Where necessary and where access allows, inspect the roof space to determine the level of insulation.
. Collect details of heating systems and its controls, lighting, ventilation and glazing within the property.
How much does this cost?
SCARF operate a competitive individual EPC cost but discounts are available for bulk procurement.
Full quotations are available on request.
