G B Domestic Energy Assessors

Welcome to G B Domestic Energy Assessors

We are Domestic Energy Assessors based in Braunston near Daventry Northamptonshire.

We cover Northamptonshire and East Warwickshire including Northampton, Daventry, Towcester, Rugby, Southam and surrounding Villages.

As we do not use sub-contractors to carry out our customer's energy surveys we believe this enables us to maintain a high level of quality control, customer satisfaction and helps prevent any conflict of interest with any other party.

 We can provide Energy Performance Certificates &

 Home Information Packs for Businesses, Home Owners and Private Landlords.

You can also track the progress of your HIP on our Autohip page.

What is an EPC

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a mandatory part of the Home Information Pack (HIP) that is required when a house is sold.

This is an EU directive in compliance with the Housing Act 2004, the Home Information Pack regulations and the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive.

The EPC will tell you how energy efficient your property is, and suggest how you can improve the energy efficiency of your property. This can only be carried out by accredited Domestic Energy Assessors (DEA) and Home Inspectors.

All new rentals now require an EPC. 

As from 1st October 2008 Landlords are required to provide an EPC for all new rental contracts, this EPC will last for 10 years.

G B Domestic Energy Assessors are able to provide this service and can negotiate price for multiple properties.
