To find out your EPC rating, you can use the UK governments "Find an energy certificate" service. This service allows you to find an existing energy performance certificate (EPC) for a property by entering the propertys address. If your property does not have an energy certificate or it has expired, you can get a new energy certificate.
An EPC gives a property an energy efficiency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and is valid for 10 years. The rating is based on the propertys energy use and typical energy costs, and the certificate also includes recommendations about how to reduce energy use and save money. The recommendations are listed in order of importance and the number of recommendations will vary depending on the property.
Improving your EPC rating means improving your homes energy efficiency, reducing your energy bills, making your home warmer and more comfortable, and increasing its value while reducing your carbon footprint. The EPC rating bands go from A to G, with A being the best rating your home can have, and G being the worst. The numbers in each rating reflect the governments Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) and go from 1 to 100 SAP points. The recommendations on your EPC are a list of improvements you can carry out to make your home more energy efficient.
