About Me
Hi my Name is Danny, I am your local Domestic Energy Assessor(DEA) I live in Bishop Auckland & have lived in the area for 17 years now with my wife and 2 Jack Russell dogs. I love the northeast of England after growing up in London, it is truly a breath of fresh both literally and metaphorically. I have 40+ years of customer service experience in various roles, which I hope to translate into this new chapter in my working life. My idea of heaven is in the beautiful County Durham contryside, walking for miles with our dogs, and it brought home to me the importance of trying to live at one with nature. I hope to do this myself and to encourage others which is part of the reason for becoming a DEA. Our governments like to talk the talk while we citizens walk the walk and pay a heavy price in taxes while trying. An accurate EPC can bring the cost down for Energy, which is what I want for all of us
Understanding EPC: Energy Performance Explained
EPC in detail
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a document that assesses the energy efficiency of a building. It provides a rating from A (very efficient) to G (inefficient), along with recommendations for improvement. EPCs are required when selling or renting a property, and also when building a new one.
What it is:
An EPC is essentially a report card for a building's energy performance. It estimates the energy usage over three years and assesses the building's efficiency in terms of heating, lighting, and other energy-consuming aspects.
How it works:
Accredited assessors conduct an energy assessment of the building, evaluating its fabric (walls, roof, etc.) and services (heating, insulation, etc.). The assessment results in an EPC with a rating from A to G.
What it includes:
The certificate includes the energy rating, estimated energy costs, and recommendations for improvements like insulation upgrades or switching to more efficient heating systems.
Why it's important:
EPCs help homeowners and renters understand the energy performance of their property and identify potential cost-saving measures and environmental impact reduction opportunities.
When it's needed:
EPCs are mandatory for selling or renting a property, and are valid for 10 years from the date of issue.

Expert Assessments
Professional evaluations to determine your property's energy efficiency. A Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA) is a qualified professional in the UK who assesses the energy efficiency of residential properties like houses and flats. They evaluate a property's energy performance and generate an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), which rates the property's energy efficiency from A to G. DEAs also offer advice on how to improve a property's energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
My Key Responsibilities as your local Domestic Energy Assessor:
Conducting on-site assessments:
I will visit properties to gather data about the building's construction, heating systems, insulation, and other energy-related features.
Using specialized software:
Once I have collected all the information from my walkthrough of the property, I input the collected data into approved software (like RdSAP) to generate an EPC.
In essence, a DEA's role is crucial for promoting energy conservation and helping homeowners make informed decisions about their property's energy use. Click Photo to see an example EPC
