Improving your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating is more than a legal or compliance requirement—it can save you money, enhance comfort, and increase your property’s value. Certain upgrades deliver long-term benefits, giving you a strong return on investment while boosting your home’s energy efficiency.

1. Loft and Wall Insulation

Proper insulation is one of the most cost-effective upgrades:

  • Loft insulation prevents heat from escaping through the roof.

  • Cavity wall insulation improves thermal efficiency in older homes.

  • Solid wall insulation (internal or external) offers long-term energy savings.

These upgrades reduce energy bills while significantly improving EPC scores.

2. Efficient Heating Systems

Replacing outdated heating systems delivers both energy and financial savings:

  • A-rated condensing boilers reduce fuel consumption.

  • Smart thermostats and programmable heating controls optimise energy use.

  • Thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) help heat only the rooms you need.

3. Renewable Energy Solutions

Investing in renewable energy can pay off over time:

  • Solar panels reduce electricity costs and carbon footprint.

  • Heat pumps offer efficient heating for space and water.

  • Battery storage maximises renewable energy usage.

These improvements are particularly valuable for homes aiming for high EPC ratings.

4. Windows and Doors

Upgrading glazing and doors can improve efficiency and comfort:

  • Double or triple glazing with Low-E glass reduces heat loss.

  • Draught-proofed doors and well-sealed windows prevent air leaks.

Even modest improvements in these areas can contribute significantly to EPC points.

5. Minor but Effective Measures

Smaller upgrades can also make a difference:

  • Draught-proofing loft hatches and skirting boards

  • Lagging hot water tanks and pipes

  • Replacing traditional lighting with energy-efficient LEDs

These are low-cost improvements that complement larger upgrades.

6. Professional EPC Assessment

A certified Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA) can:

  • Identify the most effective upgrades for your property

  • Prioritise changes that provide the best long-term returns

  • Ensure compliance for sales or rental purposes
