Residential EPC's
A Residential EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) is an official document that shows how energy-efficient a home is. It gives the property a rating from A (very efficient) to G (very inefficient), helping homeowners, buyers, and tenants understand how much it may cost to heat and power the property.
The certificate also includes information about the home’s energy use, typical energy costs, and recommendations for improving efficiency—such as better insulation, double glazing, or more efficient heating systems.
In the UK, a Residential EPC is legally required when a property is built, sold, or rented, and it is valid for 10 years.
Retrofit Assesments
A Retrofit Assessment is a detailed evaluation of an existing property to determine how its energy efficiency and overall performance can be improved. It looks at factors such as insulation, heating systems, ventilation, construction type, and the condition of the building.
The assessment is carried out by a qualified Retrofit Assessor and forms the first step in a retrofit project. It helps identify suitable upgrades—like improved insulation, low-carbon heating, or renewable energy systems—while ensuring the measures are safe, effective, and appropriate for the specific property.
In the UK, retrofit assessments are completed in line with PAS 2035 standards and are used to create a tailored plan for making homes more energy-efficient, comfortable, and environmentally friendly.
Government Backed Grants
A government-backed grant is a form of financial support to help individuals, households, or businesses cover the cost of specific improvements or projects. Unlike a loan, a grant typically does not need to be repaid, as long as the eligibility criteria and conditions are met.
In 2026, government-backed grants in the UK are commonly used to support energy efficiency and low-carbon upgrades in homes—such as insulation, heat pumps, or solar panels—as part of ongoing efforts to reduce energy bills and meet climate targets. These grants are often targeted at households with lower incomes or properties with poor energy performance, helping make improvements more affordable and accessible.
