Who Needs an Rugbyepc Certificate?
From the 21st May 2010 any property that is marketed for sale or put up for rent in England and Wales will need an EPC.
How long will the survey take?
Generally a survey will take between 30-60 minutes - photographs are taken of the property and energy features within your home.
Once the survey has been finished it will be uploaded to an Epc accredited site where your information will be processed and an Epc produced.
Your Epc will then be emailed or posted to you-usually within 24 hours and is available and valid for the next 10 years.

What's an EPC
An Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) is the Government's chosen way of complying with the Energy Performance of Building Directive (EPBD). Its purpose is to record how energy efficient a property is. The certificate will provide a rating of the energy efficiency and CO2 emissions of a building from A to G, where A is very efficient and G is very inefficient.
EPCs are produced using standard methods with standard assumptions about energy usage so that the energy efficiency of one building can easily be compared with another building of the same type.
This allows prospective buyers, tenants, owners, occupiers and purchasers to see information on the energy efficiency and CO2 emissions from their building so they can consider energy efficiency and fuel costs as part of their investment.
An EPC is always accompanied by a recommendation report that lists cost effective and other measures (such as low and zero carbon generating systems) to improve the energy rating of the building. The certificate is also accompanied by information about the rating that could be achieved if all the recommendations were implemented.

Who is Responsible for obtaining an EPC?
If a building is being built, the person carrying out the work must obtain the EPC, provide the owner with it and inform the building control officer or approved inspector that this has been done within the specified period.
If the building is being sold or let, responsibility for provision of the EPC will rest with the seller or landlord. The EPC is to be made available free of charge to any prospective buyer or tenant prior to entering into a sale or lease agreement. Procedure
The energy survey needed to produce an EPC is performed by an assessor who visits the property, examines key items such as loft insulation, domestic boiler, hot water tank, radiators, windows for double glazing, and so on. He or she then inputs the observations into a software programme which actually performs the calculation of energy efficiency.
The programme gives a single number for the rating of energy efficiency, and a recommended value of the potential for improvement. There are similar figures for environmental impact. A table of estimated energy bills per annum (and the potential for improvement) is also presented, but without any reference to householder bills.
The householder will have to pay for the survey. The exercise is entirely non-invasive, so assessors have to take certain amount of information on trust from householders, such as whether or not cavity wall insulation is present unless there is evidence such as drill holes present.
