Alice Gavin

Happy Client​

The surveyor made the process of getting my energy performance certificate easy and stress-free. I emailed to enquire and he called me back straight away to arrange an appointment. He is competitively priced, friendly and clearly very knowledgeable. He also came prepared with a mask and kept his distance, and he gave me a courtesy call before he arrived to let me know he was almost here. I’m delighted with his service and would highly recommend him for EPCs.

The Comprehensive Guide to Reading and Understanding Home Energy Certificates

Home energy certificates are a way of measuring the energy efficiency of your home. They provide homeowners with an accurate and comprehensive assessment of their home’s energy performance, helping them to make informed decisions about how to save money on their energy bills. Home energy certificates are created by certified assessors who use a combination of house energy rating systems and home energy label systems to generate a score for each house. This score is then used as the basis for creating the certificate, which includes information about the house’s overall efficiency and recommendations for improving it. Homeowners in Reading can use this information to make changes that will reduce their monthly bills and help them live more sustainably.

What Should I Look for When Inspecting a Home Energy Certificate?

Home energy certificates are an important tool to help homeowners in Reading understand the energy efficiency of their home. Knowing the HERS index score of a home can help you make informed decisions about energy-saving improvements. When inspecting a HERS index report, it is important to understand what each component means and how it impacts the overall score. Contact us and we will provide an overview of what to look for when inspecting a home energy certificate and how to interpret the HERS index report.

How to Use Home Energy Certificates for Making Your Home More Efficient

Home energy certificates are a great way to make your home more efficient. The Home Energy Rating System (HERS) index report provides you with a score that indicates the level of energy efficiency of your home.

Which Types of Homes Benefit Most From Home Energy Certificates?

Home Energy Certificates (HERS) are an important tool for assessing the energy efficiency of a home. They provide a score based on the energy performance of the home, which can be used to compare it to other homes and identify areas for improvement. This can help homeowners save money on their energy bills by making their homes more efficient.

The types of homes that benefit most from HERS index reports are older homes, as they tend to have higher levels of energy consumption due to outdated building materials and inefficient systems. Additionally, large or multi-family dwellings may also benefit from HERS index reports, as they often contain multiple heating and cooling systems that need to be monitored. By having a comprehensive understanding of their home’s energy performance, homeowners can make informed decisions about how best to improve their energy efficiency and reduce costs.
