Commercial EPC Blackburn specialist Enlighten Enviro recognises there is some confusion surrounding commercial EPCs. We are often quizzed by property owners in Burnley, Leyland, Clayton-le-Moors and elsewhere who are unsure whether or not they need a commercial EPC. The good news is that the answer is actually quite simple.
If you are an owner or landlord looking to sell or rent an existing property, you need a commercial EPC. You also have to arrange one if you are constructing new buildings or carrying out major refurbishments to a property. Commercial EPCs have been a legal requirement in Darwen, Accrington, Great Harwood and the rest of the country since October 1st 2008.
A commercial EPC provider such as Enlighten Enviro can turn obtaining a certificate into a simple process. Once you have lodged a request, a trained energy assessor will be dispatched to the properties to consider their energy efficiency.
After investigating factors such as the level of insulation, the type of lighting and the central heating system used, the assessor will provide a certificate. This contains a rating between A and G, where A indicates extremely high energy efficiency and G denotes the opposite. The commercial EPC expert will also propose several energy-saving changes and a separate rating, which represents what the building could achieve if all of the alterations were carried out in full.
Commercial EPCs could save you money
Commercial EPCs can be a surprisingly inexpensive affair. Although commercial EPC provider Enlighten Enviro is capable of offering a rapid turnaround, discounts may be available for less time-pressured applicants and those with multiple properties in their portfolio.
In the past, many applicants have also been surprised to learn that the certificate can pay for itself. By carrying out the changes recommended by a commercial EPC assessor, you could save hundreds of pounds on your energy bills.
