you dont have to be DEA to work out if its going to pass or not and if it doesnt get a D you start looking at draught excluders and loft insulation, and a thermal insulation round the hot water tank if its not got one.

Still have to have them out after that...

This looks to be another attempt to reign in the rogue solar companies, problem is they will still get round it and legitimate companies have to charge more to their customers or take another hit.

This is a strong case for us to get qualified as a dea ourselves if it wasn't such a pain in the rectum. Anyone considering the assesor course?
 
With the low install numbers now my decision to not blow £1,500 or more on training was a wise one in my opinion, it takes a lot of £45's to justify the cost, and its actually less than that as your time is freed up, there are so many DEA's scratching around for work with such low prices that even two visits is not an unreasonable cost.
 
no, you can submit the original EPC without the panels included if you want.

Thanks Gav I read a similar thread last week and I thought thats what it said but thanks for clearing that up.

Suppose before long you will need a camera to look inside walls a photos of the energy saving light bulbs and the loft insulation.

O what a load of
 
Of course the dclg recommend you submit another to accurately reflect the current state of the house... Do the dea's pay per submission?
yeah well, I recommend they take a very long walk off a very short pier unless they're covering the costs of their extra pointless bits of paper.
 
This is correct you will require a second visit to confirm the panels are there , Id say emailing the MCS cert and a picture is enough evidence but NO second visit required do not even have to enter house.

Well I am glad I do my own EPC'S ....... apart from in Scotland
