What do we offer?
Energy Performance Certificates for all you property needs.
We are a local company that offer an independant service to Estate Agents, Letting Agents and the General public.

An Energy
Performance Certificate (EPC) shows an asset rating which is a numerical
and colour coded indication of the energy performance of the building based on
its standardised use. Energy Performance Certificates include these benchmarks
to enable buildings to be compared with one another.
What other information is provided?
EPCs must be accompanied by a recommendations report, which provides
recommendations for the improvement of the energy performance of the building.
National Energy Rating can provide advice and guidance, following an initial
assessment, of the best options for improving the asset rating of a building.
Who can produce an EPC?
An EPC must be prepared by an energy assessor who is a member of a
Government approved accreditation scheme. These schemes also provide the
service to formally lodge an EPC onto the central database.
How long is an EPC valid for?
An EPC is valid for up to 10 years – unless a refurbishment of the
buildings fabric or services has been undertaken in which case a new EPC can be
commissioned to provide a more up-to-date EPC for the relevant building.
What if there are separate units within a building?
An EPC for a separate unit within one building may be based on the
assessment of a representative unit. If there is a common heating system, the
whole building can be certified as one. An EPC can also be commissioned on a
part of a building; for example where there may be several floors leased to
various tenants and one becomes vacant an EPC can be undertaken on the vacant
part of the building in isolation.
Which buildings do not require certification?
You need to fall into one of these categories then:
- Properties subject to a
condition limiting their use to occupation for less than 11 months per
year or holiday accommodation
- Mixed sales (eg. shop with
flat)
- Non residential property
- Right to buy and similar
properties
- Sales of property portfolios
- Properties not sold with
complete vacant possession
- Unsafe properties and
properties to be demolished
- Park homes
What Are The Penalties For Not Having An EPC?
Local Trading Standards Officers have the powers to enforce the
regulations. Fines for the failure to produce an EPC can range between £500 and
£5,000.
We offer independent Energy Saving Advice.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) uses energy from the
sun to create electricity to run appliances and lighting. PV requires only
daylight - not direct sunlight - to generate electricity.
Photovoltaic systems use cells to convert solar radiation into
electricity. The PV cell consists of one or two layers of a semi conducting
material, usually silicon. When light shines on the cell it creates an electric
field across the layers, causing electricity to flow.
The greater the intensity of the light, the greater the flow of electricity...
PV systems generate no greenhouse gases, saving approximately 325kg of carbon
dioxide emissions per year - adding up to about 8 tonnes over a system's lifetime
- for each kilowatt peak (kWp - PV cells are referred to in terms of the amount
of energy they generate in full sun light).
PV arrays now come in a variety of shapes and colours, ranging from grey 'solar
tiles' that look like roof tiles, to panels and transparent cells that you can
use on conservatories and glass to provide shading as well as generating
electricity.
Solar panels are not light and the roof must be strong enough to take their
weight, especially if the panel is placed on top of existing tiles.
We can advise/plan and install the following Renewable Energy
Systems including,
Solar Heating Systems/Photovoltaic light
systems for Electricity Production/ Ground and Air source heating systems to
Wood Pellet Heating Systems.

The company is situated in the Centre of the NORTH EAST with easy access to all of the major URBAN AREAS.
