Contact Island Energy Solutions to arrange your assessment.
An Energy Performance Certificate assesses the energy efficiency of a property and provides an energy rating from A to G, together with recommendations for potential improvements.
During a domestic EPC assessment, our Domestic Energy Assessors collect information about the property, including its construction, insulation, windows, heating and hot water systems and lighting.
Once the assessment is complete, your EPC is lodged on the government official EPC register.
Newport has a particularly varied housing stock, reflecting it's position at the heart of the Isle of Wight. The town includes Victorian and Edwardian terraces, traditional cottages, older town properties, post-war housing and more recent developments.
There are also properties in the surrounding rural areas where traditional construction and individual alterations can create very different energy characteristics from one home to another.
The age and construction of a property can have an important bearing on its energy performance. Older homes may have solid walls, older glazing or roofs with limited insulation , while extensions, replacement heating systems and other improvements can change how a property performs.
A domestic EPC assessment considers the individual features of the property rather than simply its age or location, giving a more useful picture of its energy efficiency.
