The role of the Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA) is to
survey properties and to produce Energy Performance
Certificates (EPCs) for inclusion in Home Information
Packs (HIPs). EPCs provide an energy cost calculation
for the property and recommendations for improving the
energy performance of the dwelling. The energy
performance rating will be displayed on an A to G scale
and will be recognised from its close resemblance to the
certificates found on domestic white goods such as
washing machines. The legislation which introduced HIPs
states that, by regulation, DEAs must be qualified and
accredited persons and the regulations detail how this
is achieved.
An Energy Performance Certificate is a report detailing the energy
efficiency and the environmental impact of a property
calculated by the RdSAP methodology against standard
conditions so that all properties are assessed on a like
for like basis. The report will also list improvements
that can be made to improve energy efficiency and reduce
the environmental impact of the building
When you contact us we will
send you a letter with details of the appointment, a
copy of our terms and conditions and a a simple
questionnaire
When we have received
confirmation in writing we will arrange to conduct the survey. We will send you a letter or
email to confirm the details and provide a briefing on
the process.
On the day of the survey, when we would like a
householder to be present if at all possible, we will go
through the details and conduct the survey. The EPC will
be registered on the national database within 5 days
and a paper copy mailed first class post to an address
you nominate if requested.
If you are marketing your house for sale it is a
legal requirement.
If you are not thinking of moving it is still a
sensible step which will give you an understanding of
your property's relative energy efficiency and
environmental impact and make recommendations that will
reduce your energy costs and reduce the environmental
impact of your home.
The actual survey will take between 1 and 3 hours mainly dependant
on the size of the property. The EPC will be delivered
within 5 days of the completion of the survey. We aim
to complete the survey within 7 days of the EPC being
commissioned but this does require a mutually convenient
date and time to be available.
We offer two products
The cost of this service
ranges from £85.00 to £200.00 depending on the
size of the property and its location with respect to
our offices.
