Energy Performance Certificates

Energy efficiency report

Green is very much the colour of the moment, with climate change, global warming and carbon footprint / carbon reduction very much being a hot topic of conversation.

I think the discussions around green energy are very enriching but perhaps lack something in terms of practicality - what can the average man in the street do to make a difference in his home?

At Surrey Energy Consultants, we are very happy to engage for any homeowner and produce an Energy Performance Certificate. This report is mandatory when selling or letting out your home, but can also be used very effectively to give the homeowner some real advice on what they can do to save money on their fuel bills TODAY. With rising fuel costs, this should become more important in the future.

If you are not ready to engage us to undertake an EPC assessment for you (even though in most cases you would recoup your cost by implementing our recommendations) there are other places you can look.

British Gas are pushing 'green' heavily at the moment and they have a useful online survey which gives you a basic report on your home. It takes about 10 - 15 minutes to fill in and will tell you much of what the EPC report does, including recommendations for you to follow. It will never match the benefit of a face to face conversation, which our consultants provide, but can provide a startpoint on your green journey. Go to their website and follow the links on the energy efficiency tab.

If you want to explore any of this topic further, get in touch with us, out contact details are on the top right of the page. At Surrey Energy Consultants we aim to provide an affordable, friendly service to the local community - and save you money too!
