The Assessment Process

The assessment is non-invasive, for example there will be no drilling or removal of fixed panels. 
It will take around 45 minutes and will include the following:                                      

�œ A visual inspection of the outside of the property    
�œ A visual inspection of each room internally, including any cellar, basement and loft spaces
�œ Measurements will be taken internally and/or externally
�œ A check of anywhere that may house gas or electrical installations 
�œ Inspection of boilers, hot water cylinders, controls and central heating systems
�œ A visual check of the lighting and glazing   
�œ An assessment of any other energy related features such renewable energy resources

A questionnaire about your property may be completed along with site notes and photographs which will be used to help compile the report. 
The EPC is then created using a standard process which involves feeding the results from the survey into a computer software package which 
will produce the EPC and any recommendations. The resulting document will be sent to you generally by email. Click here for a sample EPC.
