Energy Performance CertificateAsk me how energy efficient my home is and I wouldn`t have a clue. Sure, it has double glazing but I should get the loft insulated really because heat must rise straight through the roof. One way that I`d know how efficient my home was performing would be to ask a trained assessor to provide it with an
Energy Performance Certificate. If I ever decide to sell the property I`ll have to pay for an
Energy Performance Certificatethat I could show to any potential buyers. Not so long ago this piece of paper would have been included within a home information pack but HIPS have just been suspended by the new government. Home owners still have to provide potential buyers with an
Energy Performance Certificatethough, if they decide to sell their house. The certificates are cheap to buy and they can be completed within 12 hours of an energy assessor visiting the property. They are easy to order and this can be done online or over the phone. I`m guessing that my home would be fairly average when it came to energy efficiency and the only way that I`ll know for sure would be to pay for one of the energy certificates.
