Frequently Asked Questions
What is a DEA?
DEA's are accredited and licensed Domestic Energy Assessors
Why do I need an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) to sell my Home?
From June 2010 all properties will require an EPC to be commissioned before they can be placed on the market. (all rental properties also require an EPC at point of tenancy change)
What is an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a graphical report showing the energy efficiency and environmental impact of your property.
What does the certificate look like?
Description and example of the Energy Performance Certificate available
HEREYes, an internal and external inspection of the property is carried out by a licensed DEA. The survey will take around 1 hour to complete for an average family house.
What will the Certificate tell me?
It will provide you with clear information on the energy performance of the property and cost effective means for improvement. Most of the improvements will be under £500.00. Any improvements will make you more comfortable in a warmer and less drafty home. You will also be saving money and reducing your carbon footprint by reducing CO2 emissions.
Will the DEA be affiliated to any energy companies or home improvement companies?
No there will be no recommendations made as to which companies to use for energy improvements.
Why an EPC?
The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) is being implemented in stages throughout England and Wales between now and January 2009. The Directive states than an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) must be produced whenever a building is constructed, sold or rented out.
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) will rate the home's energy efficiency, using graphs like those found on fridges and washing machines.
