EPCs and their energy cost predicitions
Some valid comments have been made about the costs of energy - given differing lifestyles and the recent rises in energy.
The EPC is produced using Government approved software and the figures used to compile the likely energy bills are updated every 6 months with industry average values.
At least the EPC is giving a consistent message and these figures should surely be viewed as a benchmark. Perhaps over time an index should also be produced so that EPCs from different years can sensibly be compared - after all an EPC can last for 10 years.
