Since January 1, 2021, it has been mandatory to have an energy label when selling or renting out homes and commercial buildings in Utrecht. This energy label provides insight into the energy efficiency of the property and offers valuable information for buyers and tenants about expected energy costs and opportunities for energy savings. In a historic city like Utrecht, with its many monumental buildings, this is particularly important.
Utrecht, with its unique combination of medieval architecture and modern new buildings, presents various challenges in terms of energy savings. Did you know that Utrecht has the most monuments per square kilometer in the Netherlands? This makes it all the more important to accurately assess the energy performance of each home. An energy label provides clarity about the energy efficiency of your home and gives concrete advice to improve energy efficiency, even for historic buildings.
Bouwhuis Energy Labels has an extensive network of certified inspectors active in the Utrecht region. This allows us to serve you quickly and at competitive rates. We are active in Utrecht and surrounding places such as De Bilt, Zeist, Nieuwegein, IJsselstein, and Maarssen. Contact us to request your energy label quickly and affordably. Our expert inspectors not only deliver an accurate energy label but also provide advice to improve the energy performance of your home.
On our pricing page, you will find the current rates for obtaining an energy label in Utrecht. Costs vary depending on the type and size of your home. Apartments, of which there are many in newer neighborhoods of Utrecht such as Leidsche Rijn, can often be inspected at lower costs than single-family homes.
In addition to homes, you can also contact Bouwhuis Energy Labels for energy labels for commercial buildings. Whether it’s offices in the Central Business District, catering establishments in the city center, or shops in Hoog Catharijne, our inspectors are ready for you. As of January 1, 2023, office buildings larger than 100m² must have at least energy label C. Without this label, the building can no longer be used as an office. You also risk a fine if you transfer a property without an energy label. Our certified advisors ensure that your commercial property is inspected quickly and accurately and meets all legal requirements.
