Since the mandate of the European Union about the energy performance
certificate, people in Surrey and across the UK want to learn more about
how they can get the certificate and about the duties of the energy
assessor.
An energy assessor’s job is to inspect the energy usage at home of
people and issue EPC in Surrey with ratings from A to B. They will also
guide homeowners to conserve their resources. Let us have a look at the
process in detail:
Energy inspection process
The inspection is only a formal matter as no changes are made personally
in the property. The code of practice in the government books says that
no physical interferences are to be made that can cause any damage to
the property. The procedure will take only 1 to 1.5 hours or so and will
be conducted in the interiors of the property with external
measurements if necessary.
Checking the energy supplies
The procedure will involve the assessor checking a home’s space, heating
systems, gas meters, electric meters, fuel supplies, loft, basements,
lighting, insulation undertaken, windows and doors, wall thickness, etc.
They will always recommend using of alternative energy resources such
as solar panels to save energy. EPC process in Surrey and everywhere is simple and easy to implement.
Adhering to restrictions
The expert is not required to even move any items or furniture during
the inspection process. However, it is recommended for the home-owners
to give them a clear space and free access to every corner of the home.
Non-cooperation can have an adverse effect on the energy ratings of the
property.
After inspecting the property, the professional will provide energy performance certificates
to people with energy ratings. The energy ratings will be on A to G
basis with ‘A’ being the best and G being the least in the ratings.
People in Surrey have been known to get the EPC in ‘A’ ratings as
they have become aware of energy savings. Have you hired professionals
for energy inspection at your house? If not, contact an expert firm at
the earliest!
