Figures from the home's certificate on the GOV.UK EPC register.

Questions

Where do these figures come from?
From the home's own Energy Performance Certificate on the government register. Every EPC estimates what the home costs to heat, provide hot water and light for a year, and what it would cost once the improvements it suggests are made.
Why don't they match my bills?
The EPC assumes a standard heating pattern and the number of people usual for a home that size, and uses fuel prices from when the certificate was made. Your own bills depend on how you live and today's prices. The figures are best for comparing homes, and for seeing what improvements are worth.
My EPC is old. Are the figures still right?
They're at the fuel prices of the year it was made, and they won't include any improvements made since: a new boiler, insulation or new windows. A new EPC works the costs out again with more recent prices and records the home as it is now.
Do I need a new EPC?
You need a valid EPC (less than 10 years old) to sell or let a home. A new one is also worth having if you've improved the home since the last, as it can record a better rating.
