Retrofit-EPC

A Retrofit-EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) assessment is important when considering home improvements because it provides valuable information on the energy efficiency of your home before and after the retrofit. This assessment will help you understand the current energy performance of your home and identify areas for improvement, which will ultimately reduce your energy bills and carbon footprint.

​

The retrofit process involves making changes to a home to improve its energy efficiency. This can include installing insulation, upgrading heating and cooling systems, upgrading windows and doors, and using more energy-efficient lighting and appliances. A retrofit process aims to reduce the amount of energy needed to heat and cool the home and reduce energy losses, which can help to reduce your energy bills.

​

The Retrofit-EPC assessment involves an energy surveyor visiting your home to assess its energy performance, including the building's fabric, heating and hot water systems, and ventilation. The surveyor will then provide a report detailing the current energy rating of your home and make recommendations for improvement. This report will provide guidance on the most cost-effective ways to improve your home's energy performance, taking into account your budget, the potential energy savings, and the environmental impact.

​

In summary, a retrofit EPC assessment is essential for homeowners considering making energy-efficient improvements to their homes. It provides a clear understanding of the current energy performance of your home and identifies the most effective ways to improve energy efficiency, reducing energy bills and carbon emissions.
