What does an EPC checker show?

An EPC shows how energy efficient a property is on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), plus a score out of 100.

It also lists the property type, floor area, estimated heating, hot water and lighting costs, and a set of recommended improvements.

The certificate is based on a survey by an accredited energy assessor, so it reflects the home on the day it was assessed.

It is worth knowing that the figures are estimates built on standard assumptions, not a record of anyone's actual energy use or bills.
