Get Your EPC – Stay Compliant, Save Energy, Protect Health

At Healthy Indoor Air UK, we provide fast, reliable Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) assessments for homeowners, landlords, and property professionals across the UK.

An EPC rates your property's energy efficiency from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), showing estimated energy costs, CO₂ emissions, and practical improvement recommendations. It's essential for selling, renting, or improving your home — helping reduce bills, meet legal standards, and create a warmer, healthier living space.

What is an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)?

An EPC is a document that assesses how energy-efficient a building is. It includes:

  • A rating scale (A–G) similar to appliance labels.
  • Estimated annual energy costs for heating, hot water, and lighting.
  • Recommendations for cost-effective upgrades (e.g., insulation, better boilers).
  • Environmental impact (CO₂ emissions).

EPCs are valid for 10 years and must be produced by an accredited domestic energy assessor. You can view or download existing certificates for free via the official register.

Legal Requirements for EPCs

Under UK law, an EPC is mandatory when:

  • Constructing a new building.
  • Selling a property.
  • Renting out a property (new or existing tenancies).

Key Legislation:

For Private Landlords (Private Rented Sector):

  • Properties must have a minimum EPC rating of Band E to be legally let (unless a valid exemption is registered, e.g., high cost of improvements or all cost-effective measures already done).
  • It's illegal to grant a new tenancy or continue letting below Band E without exemption.
  • Non-compliance can lead to enforcement notices, fines up to £5,000+, or restrictions on letting.

Upcoming Changes (as of 2026):

  • The government is consulting on reforms to EPC methodology (new metrics for more accurate real-world performance) and potential future increases to Band C minimum for rentals (proposed for new tenancies around 2028 and all by 2030, subject to final confirmation).
  • Stay ahead — we can help assess your current rating and plan upgrades.

Health & Wellbeing Benefits of a Good EPC

A higher EPC rating means:

  • Warmer, healthier homes — Better insulation and efficient heating reduce cold, damp, and mould (linked to respiratory issues like asthma, allergies, and heart conditions).
  • Lower energy bills — Save hundreds annually on heating/hot water.
  • Reduced carbon footprint — Lower CO₂ emissions for a greener home.
  • Improved comfort — Fewer draughts, better air quality, and overall wellbeing.

Poor energy efficiency contributes to fuel poverty and health risks — an EPC helps identify fixes for safer, more comfortable living.
