How an EPC visit works

A straightforward process from inspection to certificate.

Domestic Energy Solutions follows government-approved methodology to produce your Energy Performance Certificate. Here’s what to expect when we assess your Barnsley property.

1

Property information

We take details about your property type, age, extensions and any existing insulation, plus information about heating, hot water and glazing.

2

On-site survey

During the visit we measure the property, record construction details and collect evidence such as boiler models, insulation certificates or photographs where required.

EPC calculation & lodgement

Your data is entered into approved EPC software to generate the rating and recommendations. The finished certificate is lodged on the national register and a copy is sent to you.

Frequently asked

About EPCs & Domestic Energy Assessments.

Here are some common questions about Energy Performance Certificates. This is general information only and may change with future regulations.

What is an EPC?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) grades a property from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), based on factors such as insulation, heating systems and construction type. It also outlines potential improvements and their impact on your rating.

When do I need an EPC?

An EPC is generally required when a property is built, sold or rented. Landlords must also meet minimum efficiency standards before letting a property, subject to certain exemptions.

How long is an EPC valid for?

EPCs are typically valid for ten years, although you may choose to commission a new certificate if you’ve carried out significant energy-related improvements.

Can you help improve my rating?

While we don’t install measures ourselves, we can explain which improvements are most likely to raise your EPC rating, and how they fit into the layout and construction of your particular property.
