Simply put, a Domestic Energy Assessor is a property professional focussing upon the carbon footprint of residential property. Since there is no longer any scientific doubt about global warming and the impact our use of energy has upon the environment, the Government have taken the initiative to help homeowners to understand what they can do to conserve energy and reduce CO2 emissions.
What does this mean in practice? Well, from December 14th 2007, all residential properties which are put on the market must have an Energy Performance Certificate. Only licensed Domestic Energy Assessors and Home Inspectors are able to provide this service and it is a legal requirement that they be a member of a Government accredited certification scheme with full Professional Indemnity Insurance cover, regular monitoring and service auditing. We are able to provide this service directly to Homeowners or their representatives (such as an Estate Agent, Solicitor or Home Information Pack Provider).
