Its work focuses on issuing Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) and producing floor plans, with declared coverage across Somerset and Wiltshire and a regular presence in towns such as Bath, Frome, Westbury, Warminster and Shepton Mallet.

Energy Performance Certificates for homes and businesses

The company issues EPCs for both the sale and rental of domestic and commercial properties. The service is also presented for homeowners applying for the UK Boiler Upgrade Scheme or those who simply want to know the energy performance of their property. The website distinguishes three lines of work: commercial EPC, domestic EPC and floor plans.

Timescales, prices and coverage

According to the published information, floor plan prices start from £55 and EPC prices from £95. For domestic assessments, the company states that it guarantees results within 24 hours of the inspection and books the service as soon as possible. Coverage extends from Frome across a wide area to handle as many requests as possible.

Accreditation and professional profile

Meyer Energy presents itself as a government-approved and accredited domestic and commercial energy assessor, offering fast and reliable inspections. The company states that it holds public liability insurance and a DBS check, and emphasises its experience in completing certificates to high standards. The person responsible for the service, Olly, is mentioned in customer testimonials.

Energy-saving recommendations

The website's informative section sets out measures to improve a home's energy rating, particularly aimed at landlords who need to bring a rental property up to the required standard or prepare for a possible tightening of minimum requirements. The proposals include:

• Replace halogen or incandescent bulbs with LED lighting.
• Insulate walls and roof, with insulation thicknesses of at least 270 mm in the loft; the website notes that an uninsulated roof can lose up to 33% of heat and puts the cost of cavity insulation at between £300 and £700, and solid wall insulation at between £3,000 and £22,000.
• Install a more efficient boiler: switching to a condensing model can raise the EPC score by up to 40 points, according to the text.
• Add a smart meter to monitor consumption and adjust habits.
• Install double or triple glazing, which according to the website can add between five and ten points to the EPC, with an estimated cost of £2,000 to £5,000 for a typical terraced house.
