DEA Inspection

What happens once an EPC is commissioned?

• An energy inspection will be carried out by a qualified Domestic Energy Assessor, in this case an NRG Assessor

• The inspection will consist of the inspector collating the internal measurements of the property, floor plans and notes of the individual characteristics of the property

• Access to meters, boilers and any heating controls is necessary. Please advise where they are

• If the loft space is accessible and safe the inspector will go into the loft to check the level of insulation

• Windows or doors to the external areas of the building  might be opened to assess the thickness of the walls

• Photographs of some appliances, meters and parts of the building will be taken

• The average time for an inspection will be approximately one hour depending on the size of the property

• Please note that no furnishings will need to be removed

• If there are pets in the property they will need to be restrained
  

• We cannot carry  out inspections in properties where there are children under the age of 16 in sole charge 

• If an appointment is missed or access is denied and a return visit is required a fee will  be levied
