Energy Performance Direct provides professional Domestic Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) assessments for residential properties throughout Exeter and the surrounding areas. Based in Exeter since 2009, we are local, independent energy assessors with extensive experience surveying Exeter's diverse housing stock—from Victorian terraces in St Thomas to modern apartments in the city centre and period properties in Heavitree.
A Domestic EPC is legally required whenever you sell or rent a property in Exeter. The certificate rates your home's energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and provides practical recommendations for improving energy performance, reducing bills, and meeting MEES (Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards) compliance for rental properties. Our Exeter-based assessors understand local property types, construction methods, and the specific challenges facing Exeter homeowners and landlords.
As an established Exeter business operating since 2009, we have built a reputation for reliable, professional service with fast turnaround times and competitive pricing. All our assessors are OCDEA (On-Construction Domestic Energy Assessor) qualified and accredited through Elmhurst Energy and Quidos, ensuring your EPC meets all legal requirements and is accepted by estate agents, solicitors, and local authorities across Exeter and Devon.
"I've used Energy Performance Direct on many occasions and the EPC was done speedily and efficiently as usual. Excellent Service 5 Stars."

We provide Domestic EPC assessments across all Exeter postcodes with no or minimal travel surcharge for properties within the Exeter area. Our local knowledge means we understand the unique characteristics of Exeter's housing, from Georgian townhouses near the Cathedral to 1930s semi-detached homes in Wonford and new-build developments in Monkerton.
We also cover nearby areas including Topsham, Exminster, Woodbury, Broadclyst, Pinhoe, and villages within the Exeter periphery.
Our Exeter EPC assessment is straightforward and non-invasive. An OCDEA qualified assessor will visit your property at a time convenient to you (typically within 2-3 working days of booking) and conduct a thorough survey of your home. The assessment usually takes 30-60 minutes for a standard Exeter property and includes:
Once the survey is complete, we process your EPC and lodge it with the official government EPC register within 48 hours. You receive your certificate by email, ready to provide to estate agents, solicitors, or tenants. The EPC is valid for 10 years and remains attached to the property, not the owner.
Our Exeter Domestic EPC pricing is transparent and competitive. Standard pricing starts from £120 for properties up to 5 rooms/zones within Exeter (EX1, EX2, EX4 postcodes). Larger properties (6-10 rooms) are priced at £140-£180 depending on size and complexity. Properties in outlying Exeter areas (EX5, Topsham, Exminster) may have a small travel surcharge applied based on distance.
We offer discounts for landlords with multiple Exeter properties requiring EPCs. Contact us on 01392 980077 or email info@energyperformancedirect.co.uk to discuss your requirements and receive a tailored quote.
If you are a landlord renting out property in Exeter, you must comply with the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES). Since April 2020, it has been illegal to rent out a property with an EPC rating below E unless you have a valid exemption. Our Exeter EPCs clearly show your property's rating and provide practical, cost-effective recommendations for improving energy efficiency if your property falls below the legal minimum.
We also offer Domestic Energy Advice Reports for Exeter landlords who need detailed guidance on improving EPC ratings, estimating improvement costs, and navigating MEES compliance requirements.
Many Exeter estate agents and landlords require professional floor plans alongside EPCs for property marketing. We provide Floor Plans in Exeter measured to RICS standards, perfect for rightmove listings, brochures, and property portals.

Where a domestic EPC is the starting point for a landlord's MEES advice engagement, we apply a systematic two-stage process: each candidate improvement measure is first modelled in isolation and ranked across five criteria (EPC points, energy saving, CO2, cost saving, payback), then the top-ranked measures are grouped into three cumulative implementation Rafts — priority, Band C target, and deep retrofit. This is how the DEAR (Domestic Energy Advice Report) reports we produce turn a single EPC into three costed, modelled pathways.
