Home Information Packs & Energy Performance Certificates
On 1st June 2007 the Government introduced the Home Information Pack (HIP) and as if 1 January 2008 it is mandatory for any home with three or more bedrooms to comply with the HIP regulations, which includes an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). This indicates how energy efficient the home is and is rated on a scale of A-G. Homes rated A have less impact on the environment through lower carbon emissions. On average, most properties will be between D and E. Within the EPC it recommends ways to improve on energy efficiency.
As our homes are recognised as being more energy efficient with thicker insulation and double glazing, the correct ventilation methods with the least impact on the environment plays a key role in reducing energy in the home and providing a healthy atmosphere in which to live.
