Domestic EPC Luton Assessors
An Energy Performance Certificate, or EPC, is a document which shows the energy efficiency rating of a property.
It is provided by an accredited assessor who evaluates the energy performance of the building and then issues an EPC certificate.
The certificate will show the estimated energy costs for running the property and can also provide advice on ways to reduce the energy consumption in the home.
Check for an existing Luton EPC
An EPC shows an A–G energy rating, estimated energy costs and recommendations. A is the most energy efficient rating.
Check the government EPC register for the correct Luton address before ordering another assessment. Certificates normally last 10 years unless a newer EPC replaces them.

Common questions about EPCs
Is an EPC certificate a legal requirement?
More Info
An EPC is generally required when a property is marketed for sale or rent, unless an exception applies. The seller or landlord must make a valid certificate available to prospective buyers or tenants.
Can I do my own EPC assessment?
More Info
An EPC can only be produced by a qualified and certified domestic or commercial energy assessor who has undergone specific training and has gained accreditation to produce EPCs.
How long is an EPC valid for?
More Info
An EPC normally remains valid for 10 years from the date it is lodged, unless a newer EPC replaces it. Check the expiry date and use the latest certificate for the correct property address.
Which properties are exempt from requiring an EPC?
More Info
Some buildings and transactions are exempt from EPC requirements, but the conditions must be checked for the individual property. Listed status alone does not establish an automatic exemption: the rules consider whether compliance would unacceptably alter the building’s character or appearance.
An exemption from needing an EPC is different from a registered MEES exemption for a rented property. Check the government guidance on domestic EPC requirements and exceptions before relying on an exemption.
EPC Assessor Luton
Arranging a Luton EPC assessment
An accredited Domestic Energy Assessor needs access to the home to record the building and its energy features. Tell Energy Smart whether you, a tenant or an agent will meet the assessor.
Make relevant areas accessible and have any documents about insulation, heating or recent improvements available. These can help the assessor record evidence accurately.

What happens during an EPC survey?
The assessor records the property’s age, construction, dimensions, heating, insulation, windows and lighting. Please arrange access to relevant rooms and have any supporting documents ready.
The information is entered into approved software after the visit. Your certificate is normally provided within 2–3 days and lodged on the government EPC register. If you need it sooner, ask about the express option when booking.
An epc survey is designed to accurately assess the energy efficiency of a property.
During the epc assessment, the epc assessor will gather data about:
- The age and property construction type
- Property dimensions
- Heating systems
- Insulation levels
- Windows and doors
- Lighting
The gathered data is entered into approved government software off site and the certificate is normally provided to the customer 2 to 3 days after the visit.
All EPCs are then registered on the government epc portal.
Domestic EPC Luton
Energy Smart provides domestic EPC assessments for Luton houses and flats. When arranging a sale or tenancy, confirm the full property address and whether a valid certificate is already available.
Book online using the option for your property size, or call 0800 048 7734 for a larger home or help arranging access. Have any evidence of insulation or recent improvements available for the assessor.
Commercial EPC Luton
Arrange a Commercial EPC for Luton business premises with Energy Smart. Offices, shops and other non-domestic buildings need an assessment appropriate to their use and layout.
Send the approximate floor area and any available plans to discuss the scope and price. Commercial assessments are quoted separately; domestic bedroom-based prices do not apply.

Commercial EPC Cost
Commercial EPC prices start from £198. As commercial properties vary significantly in size and complexity please call for our best prices.
Commercial EPC rating
Commercial EPC certificates are rated from A-G, with A being the most energy efficient and G the least efficient. The EPC rating for a commercial property will depend on factors such as age of the building, type of construction, energy efficiency improvements made and insulation levels.
The main heating system significantly affects an EPC rating. Electric heating can perform more favourably under the carbon-based commercial EPC calculation than under the cost-based domestic calculation. The result depends on the heating system’s efficiency and the building’s other features.
Common questions about commercial EPCs
Is an EPC required for a commercial property?
A valid EPC is generally required when a commercial property is sold or rented, unless an exemption applies.
How do I get an EPC certificate for a commercial building?
Call us on 0800 048 7734 or fill in our contact form.
What EPC rating does a commercial property need to be?
For privately rented non-domestic properties covered by MEES, the current minimum is EPC E unless a valid exemption applies.
If the building cannot reach the minimum standard an exemption can be applied for.

Energy Performance Certificates for Landlords
A valid EPC is generally required when a property is marketed to rent in Luton, unless an exception applies.
For domestic private rentals covered by MEES, the current minimum is EPC E unless a valid exemption applies.
If you are considering renting out a property in Luton, check which of these documents and checks apply:
- Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) - normally valid for 10 years
- Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) - electrical installations checked at least every five years under applicable rules
- Gas safety record - annual check where relevant gas appliances or flues are present
Requirements depend on the property and tenancy. Check the current guidance before letting.
The Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard
For domestic private rented properties covered by MEES, the current minimum is EPC E unless a valid exemption applies.
The government plans to introduce a higher EPC C or equivalent standard for all tenancies from 1 October 2030, subject to legislation.
If you are looking for more information about epcs in Luton, epc assessors or epcs for rental properties, don’t hesitate to contact us. We can answer any questions you may have and also provide advice on how to make your property more energy efficient.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Common questions about MEES
When can a landlord register a MEES exemption?
If a domestic private rented property is covered by MEES and rated F or G, the landlord must improve it to at least E or register a valid exemption before letting. An exemption may apply in certain circumstances.
The landlord must provide the reason and supporting evidence when registering an exemption.
There is no charge for applying.
Exemptions are defined as:
- High cost exemptions
- All improvements made exemptions
- Wall insulation exemptions
- Consent exemptions
- Devaluation exemptions
- New landlord exemptions
Who enforces MEES regulations?
Your Local Authority is responsible for enforcing Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) Regulations and investigating any potential breaches of the MEES regulations.
It is the landlord’s responsibility to ensure the property meets the MEES standards.
If a landlord lets a domestic private rented property covered by MEES with an EPC rating of F or G and no registered exemption, a Compliance Notice and a Penalty Notice can be issued to the landlord, with a maximum penalty of £5000.
We offer landlords in Luton special MEES reports that show the current energy rating and step by step instructions of how to improve it.
