You may see cheaper prices advertised however we concentrate on Quality rather than Quantity and have been serving the North West Community since

June 2008.


We maintained our independance from HIP providers and panels and concentrated entirely on EPC's so you can be sure of a quality service!


Look out for those hidden extras and don't be fooled by cheap advertised prices, as with everything in life you generally find that you get what you pay for.


Please do not confuse EPC-NW with later service offerings and always ensure that the Assessors provide their Accredditation Details, here are mine;


NGIS800520


Watch out for meaningless client quotations from "Jack", "Jill" and "Bill", if full contact details are also not provided! Check credentials online if you want the true picture.





Always agree the price up-front and ask if any additional charges apply. Anyone attending your property during the survey must be an accredited DEA and security cleared - always ask to see their ID cards on arrival.


The purpose of the Energy Performance Certificate

 
The certificate details the current efficiency rating of the home being surveyed in terms of an Energy Performance Rating and an Environmental Impact Rating. Both ratings are measured on a scale from A to G with A being the highest attainable rating and G the lowest attainable rating.
 
The certificate produced will contain recommendations based upon the results of a survey carried out on the property that will outline the potential for improvement in energy efficiency. A number of recommendations will be made detailing how this can be achieved.
 
The completed certificate will be lodged in the Landmark database and will be made accessible to the person who commissioned the survey. Grants are available to encourage the take up of these recomendations and the ratings detailed in the certificate may soon determine the level of grants that can be obtained.
 
The requirement for the certificate is a result of European Legislation (EU Directive 2002/91/EC), subsequently incorporated into the Housing Act 2004. See our links section for full details.

When an Energy Performance Certificate is required

Please note that Home Information Pack duties are suspended with immediate effect from 21 May 2010. This means that homes marketed for sale on or after this date will no longer require a Home Information Pack.


However, Energy Performance Certificates are still required by law.



The role of the Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA)
 
The Domestic Energy Assessor is qualified to survey a domestic property to assess it's current energy efficiency and any potential for improvement. They will have undergone a training programme and will be certified to an appropriate standard by the awarding body ABBE, City & Guilds or the NAEA and will have been screened by the Criminal Records Office or Disclosure Scotland to ensure their suitability to undertake the task.
 
A DEA will be a fully insured member of an approved Accreditation Scheme providing a code of practise and appropriate complaints procedures. The certificate produced will include recommendations for improvements which will be reviewed prior to publication by the Energy Assessor to ensure that they are entirely appropriate to the property concerned.

EPC validity period

Unless a building is later modified, EPCs and their recommendation reports are valid for 10 years from the date of issue unless the property is altered. Energy assessors and home inspectors are responsible for placing EPCs in the national register of domestic EPCs, where they will be kept for 20 years.
