Local knowledge is essential when assessing properties in Craigavon, where a diverse mix of housing stock spans everything from the planned new city developments to older period properties across the wider borough. Energy assessors working in this area must understand the specific construction methods, materials and heating systems common to Craigavon properties to produce accurate EPC ratings that genuinely reflect a home's energy performance.
Craigavon's Victorian and inter-war properties present particular challenges for EPC assessors, with solid wall construction, original sash windows and older heating systems typically resulting in lower energy ratings. Without thorough local knowledge, assessors may overlook specific improvement opportunities unique to these property types, such as appropriate insulation solutions for solid-walled homes that can meaningfully improve ratings and reduce energy costs for occupants.
