Improve Hip's Ratings

Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) are being introduced to help improve the energy efficiency of buildings.

If you are buying or selling a home you now need a certificate by law. From October 2008 EPCs will be required whenever a building is built, sold or rented out. The certificate provides 'A' to 'G' ratings for the building, with 'A' being the most energy efficient and 'G' being the least, with the average up to now being 'D'.

Saving energy in your home The energy consumed in homes is responsible for over a quarter of all UK emissions of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas causing climate change.

Using energy more efficiently and cutting out wastage will reduce carbon emissions as well as your fuel bills.

Insulate your home
Nearly half of the heat in a typical home is lost through the walls and roof.

installing roof and wall insulation could save you £400 per year in energy costs
