EPCs may also contain
recommendations for improving an existing home's energy rating and CO2
emissions. The assessors report may contain certain recommendations
particular to the property inspected. Such reports may suggest for
example that low energy lights be fitted, or cavity wall insulation
could be added, or upgrading the central heating boiler.
These recommendations may
appear on the energy report, however they are not mandatory, and so
the home owner is not under any obligation to carry out such
improvements. See also energy
assessment
Such recommendations are
designed to reduce CO2 emissions and reduce energy bills. If you
require further information about home energy saving measures and the
role of the domestic energy assessor please refer to the following

Home owners can instruct a
domestic energy assessor direct, to carry out a survey of their
property, the EPC when completed is sent to the home seller which can
then be added to the Home Information Pack. |
