EPC Register

davidmcn I do realise that- lighting, cooking and devices.

Primary energy use is different to just adding up different fuel energy uses - there are factors for each fuel type, ie gas, oil, electricity etc. The factors take into account the amount of energy used to deliver a kWh of a particular fuel.

How a how accurate are EPC ratings? Like trex I have looked at the EPC from the time I bought. 6 years ago my flat was 1 point off being a C but the identical flat next door, for sale at roughly the same time was rated at C.  6 years ago the estimated running costs were 25% higher than I currently pay.  Go figure!

If I understand correctly the calculations are based on average mythical households' use, so I agree that their worth is little. All the same, how things relate one to the other should be transparent to aid understanding.

The other day I looked at the EPC to our house from when we bought 7 years ago. We’ve not made any changes that would change the rating if we got a new EPC done. It thinks current energy costs for this house are £2500 and the best it could be with solar panel, floor insulation and wall insulation is £1500. In the 7 years we have been here we have never spent more than £800 a year on energy!!! And we aren’t that conservative with energy use and both work from home!

Is the the energy use for three years not one?

Ours for our current house showed the figures over a three year period.

Ah yes I stand corrected! So it’s pretty much bang on the money then

RelievedSheff I cannot see how the three year idea has arisen.
