Changes to the law… are you prepared? - A&M Energy

From April 2018, the proposed legislative changes to The Energy Act 2011 made it unlawful to let residential properties with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of F or G.

“From 2016, any tenant or their representatives asking for their landlord’s consent to make reasonable energy efficiency improvements cannot be refused. From 2018, the rental of the very worst performing properties – those rated F and G – was banned through a minimum energy efficiency standard”. Rt Hon Chris Huhne MP, 10 May 2011.

There are about 680,000 rented properties in England with the worst energy efficiency ratings of F and G. Over forty per cent of households in these worst insulated rented homes live in fuel poverty.

Research for Friends of the Earth estimates that tenants living in these homes should save an average of £488 a year off their energy bill when they are improved to meet the proposed minimum standard of Energy Performance Certificate.

If you do not have an up to date EPC for your property, you may not be aware how good or bad your energy rating is for your property. Our qualified assessors are able to carry out an EPC to help identify from your property portfolio which are a priority to improve their insulation, to therefore meet legislation but to also keep your tenants comfortable.

Funding is available to support the installation of cavity wall insulation and loft insulation, therefore making it an ideal time to get ahead of the legislative changes, upgrading your properties to make them energy efficient.

For further information, please email info@am-energy.com or call 0800 318867 to discuss how you could access this funding.

Just a quick note of thanks for the work you recently completed at our house. We had been badly messed about by another firm promising (and failing) to do this work – and as a result decided to try A&M. The service has been great, right from booking/conducting the survey – through to the two installers who completed the work. Everyone turned up on the dates/times they were supposed to and the standard of work was very good. Much appreciated. Ian Wilkinson, Halifax
May I commend your men for an excellent job done very well, they were efficient, polite and cleaned up after even washing walls down of dust produced by drilling. A good job well done! Mr Lockwood, Ewhurst
Just wanted to pass on our thanks for the excellent customer service we received from your engineer last Tuesday. He arrived on time and explained everything in detail. He made sure he worked safely and cleaned up everything before he left. Hopefully you can pass on our thanks for a job well done. Believe me this is not always the case with trades people. Mr Lloyd, Shrewsbury
Just a note to say how impressed we were with the 2 men who came to insulate our house walls last Thursday. They were very helpful with a wall vent problem,were hard at work all day and did an excellent job, even as far as washing the windows after the job was completed. Please pass on our thanks to them for a job well done. Charles and Alison
I’d like to report back on the excellent job undertaken by your installer yesterday with our cavity wall insulation. He was on site exactly at the agreed time, very knowledgeable and kept a friendly and polite attitude all day. There was an evident respect of my property and he cleaned up behind himself leaving little evidence that he had even been there. A job very well done. Mr Adams, Swindon
We would like it noting how thoroughly polite, efficient and professional A&M Energy Solutions have been, right from their initial visit to survey our property. They’re a credit to you. Mrs Hadden, Sileby
I was very pleased with the way that the work was carried out on my property, particularly the manor and attitude of the three operatives on site. The original contact lady and surveyor were also helpful and friendly. Mr White, Salisbury
Your men turned up nice and early. They explained everything, gave the H&S notice and door signs. They were pleasant, and very quick and efficient in doing the job, and the house was left clean. I didn’t expect them to paint over where the holes were, so that was a bonus! At the end of the job, the paperwork was explained thoroughly before each piece was signed. I would recommend A&M to anyone. P Brewerton, Littlehampton
