If you have had an insulation measure installed, under PAS 2030, we have a requirement to ensure your property has full ventilation throughout. This is in the form of both mechanical extractor fans in your kitchens and bathrooms (utility rooms and en-suites are included), as well as trickle vents on your windows (Airbox Trickle Vents). Our team of electricians will install these and leave behind a Minor Electrical Installations Works Certificate. Should ventilation already be present and working- we will not need to replace them.

It has recently been announced that by 2025, any newly rented properties will need a rating of at least a C . Through both new Central Heating Systems and insulation (loft, wall etc), we can protect you from any fines coming into play, by meeting this minimum requirement, before 2025 regulations are implemented.
The benefits to tenants is the drastic saving in energy bills – particularly pertinent given the current energy market.

Since 2018 for new tenancies and 2020 for existing tenancies, the Domestic Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard means a property needs to have an EPC of at least an E to be let out.

This entire scheme is devoted to increasing EPCs of existing dwellings.

The scheme allows for us to install First Time Central Heating systems for tenants – which drastically increases the EPC scores. Our minimum requirement for electric properties will be a final EPC of a D – which meets the requirements for all Landlords.
