Residential Energy Performance Specialists
DO YOU NEED A
DOMESTIC EPC?
Most homes need an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) when offered for sale or rent, unless an exemption applies. If no valid certificate exists, commission one before marketing. Routine improvement work does not automatically require a new EPC, although reassessment can record changes to the rating.
Our qualified energy assessors will thoroughly survey your residential premises before lodging the EPC with the government's register. All EPCs are stored on this register and available to download anytime.
Although we’re based in Birmingham, we serve most areas across the UK including; London, Derby, Manchester, Bristol, Leeds and Liverpool.
What is a Residential Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)?
A domestic Energy Performance Certificate rates a home from A to G and includes recommended improvements. Sellers and landlords normally arrange the certificate for prospective buyers or tenants, subject to exemptions. Check the government EPC register for a valid existing record before booking another assessment.
At NRG Assessments, we are qualified domestic EPC Assessors and we can help you get an accurate energy performance certificate for your residential property at competitive prices. We are experts in our field and always happy to help. No job too big or small.
