An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is not just a legal requirement for selling, leasing, or renting a property; it’s a comprehensive guide to your home’s energy efficiency. An EPC provides your property with an energy rating from A (very efficient) to G (inefficient) and offers recommendations for improvement. But did you know that coupling this with the ECO scheme can bring unparalleled benefits? Let’s delve into the details.
