All domestic and commercial buildings in the UK available to buy or rent must have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).
If you own a home, getting an energy performance survey done could help you identify ways to save money on your energy bills and improve the comfort of your home.
What are EPCs?
Much like the multi-coloured sticker on new appliances, EPCs tell you how energy efficient a building is and give it a rating from A (very efficient) to G (inefficient). EPCs let the person who will use the building know how costly it will be to heat and light, and what its carbon dioxide emissions are likely to be.
The EPC will also state what the energy-efficiency rating could be if improvements are made, and highlights cost-effective ways to achieve a better rating. Even if you rent your home, some improvements noted on the EPC may be worth implementing, such as switching to more energy-efficient light bulbs.

Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are needed whenever a property is:
Built
Sold
Rented
You must order an EPC for potential buyers and tenants before you market your property to sell or rent. In Northern Ireland, you must display the EPC somewhere in the property, eg in the meter cupboard or next to the boiler.
​
An EPC contains:
information about a property’s energy use and typical energy costs
recommendations about how to reduce energy use and save money
 
An EPC gives a property an energy efficiency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and is valid for 10 years.
