Helping the planet starts at home
20% of UK carbon emissions come from homes
Improving the energy efficiency of your home could cut yearly bills by £1,000s
Retrofitting homes can improve your health, as well as being cosier
At the EPC Doctor we help make homes more energy efficient
Our Services
EPC + Retrofit Assessment (PAS 2035)
01
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a government-mandated framework for rating energy efficiency of a property. People often get them done as part of a sale/lease process, or installing more efficient heating systems.
It's also the first step in retrofit projects, designed to make buildings more efficient.
We perform EPC assessments, and register them with the Scottish EPC Register.
We are also PAS 2035 accredited assessors (for those in the know!)
Improvement Plan
02
Retrofitting a home to the highest rating can take years, due to the complexity of the buildings themselves as well as the costs involved. Additionally, work is done in pieces, rather than considering the property as a whole, and as such can be more expensive and take longer. Our 'whole-house' approach to retrofitting takes into account the bigger picture.
​
Using the information from an EPC assessment, we work with you to design a medium term improvement plan, tailored to your budget, timeline and priorities. Some measures can be taken quickly and inexpensively, whereas others you may need to sequence.
​
Included in the plan are recommended actions, likely costs and expected results from the measures, all prioritised so you can feel confident about what to choose.
Project Management
03
One big pain point of building projects is ensuring costs don't spiral, delays don't drag on and the work is done to a high quality. Some homeowners manage their own projects, whilst others feel more confident bringing in professional help.
​
We can help ensure projects run on time, within budget and work is done excellently. Starting out by understanding your project goals, we run the retrofit through to completion. We can assemble the highest rated, most reliable trades people to undertake the work, effectively manage the stages, and keep you in communication along the way.
We use Trustmark rated professionals and pride ourselves on our ability to recognise good workmanship.
​
We are also PAS 2035 accredited coordinators (if you know what that means)
We can help if...
There are several reason why you may want to improve your EPC rating or the energy efficiency of your home.
Selling / Renting your home
An energy efficient home is more appealing to prospective buyers and tenants.
Saving money
Reduce the cost of your energy bills using energy efficient design and thermal efficiency improvements.
Accessing better finance
Green finance is available for homes with better EPC ratings.
Low Carbon Heating Systems
Companies require an EPC certificate prior to installation and the technology is more effective in a home with a better thermally performance.
Reducing your carbon footprint
Reducing your energy requirements helps to minimize your impact on the environment and reach global emission targets.
Future-proofing
Future-proof your home against rising energy costs and Government legislation that will enforce EPC rating improvements.
