What You Should Receive
The DEA within 3 – 4 working days will then provide you with:-
- An Energy Performance Certificate which will show a grading from A to G (A being the most energy efficient) and give a list of recommendations for improving the energy efficiency.
- A basic floor plan showing the dimensions of the rooms within the property and the heat loss perimeters (HLP).
- A selection of photographs that may be interesting to a potential buyer.
A typical 3 bedroom home loses 30% of its heat through the roof and 25% through its walls everyday. Simply by insulating these areas you make considerable savings on fuel bills and have the peace of mind that you are doing your bit to save the environment too.
Part of your HIP certificate will be a rating on your homes energy efficiency. A is the most efficient and G is the lowest. No homes can fail the inspection. You may find similar ratings on refrigerators and freezers and other similar household appliances.
