The Energy Saving Trust currently offers a free online Home Energy Check (HEC), which shows how your home might be rated in a full Energy Performance Certificate as part of a Home Information Pack. The report can be sent to your home and gives you a detailed breakdown of your carbon emissions, energy use and simple ways in which you can improve your home to make it more attractive to potential buyers.
