I need to obtain an energy certificate for our villa. I presumed I would get it from EDP who supply our electricity but reading another forum there was this question and the reply suggested you had to get a certificate from an electrician - and of course pay for it!!
Can someone please advise me
Energy certificate
Hi Marg,
It's an Energy Performance Certificate (Certificado Energetica) so it doesn't just relate to your electricity supply - it evaluates your home's performance with regard to energy use and efficiency (electric, gas, solar, blah blah, etc...) - heat insulation, noise insulation etc...
By law you need one to sell or rent your home, exactly as you do in UK. And I suppose all other EU countries.
An independent engineer or surveyor has to be licensed to issue it. I don't know how much but I think it depends on the size of the property.
I've heard good things about this guy.
