We provide testing for Energy Performance Certification for New Builds and Existing Homes in Northern Ireland.
Air Tight Solutions offer a flexible, domestic energy assessment service throughout County Armagh and Northern Ireland, providing you with Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) which is now a legal requirement when selling or letting a house.
The Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) lasts for 10 years, although if you have updated the heating insulation, fitted green technology or extended the property it is recommended to have a new domestic energy assessment and obtain a new EPC.
The rating is measured using a grade from 'A' - most efficient to 'G' - least efficient. This is similar to the banded charts used on new fridges, washing machines or other large domestic appliances.
The Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) gives home owners, tenants and buyers information on the energy efficiency of their property. It gives the building a standard energy and carbon emission efficiency grade. The rating is measured from 'A' - most efficient to 'G' - least efficient. This is similar to the banded charts seen on new washing machines, fridges or other large domestic electrical appliances.
All homes are measured using the same calculations, so you can compare the EPCs and energy efficiency of different properties.
As part of the 'Energy Performance of Buildings Directive' (EPBD) which the Government is currently implementing throughout Northern Ireland, an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a certificate which demonstrates the energy rating of a building.
An EPC needs to be provided to buyers of newly built properties.
