Improving your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating doesn’t just make your home more energy-efficient—it can also save you money in the long run. Many EPC upgrades have a short payback period, reducing energy bills while increasing property value.

1. Loft and Cavity Wall Insulation

  • Loft insulation prevents heat loss through the roof, which can account for up to 25% of total heat loss

  • Cavity wall insulation reduces energy required for heating by filling gaps within walls

  • Installation is often affordable with quick payback

Impact: Immediate reduction in energy bills and higher EPC scores.

2. High-Efficiency Boilers

  • Replacing outdated boilers with modern condensing boilers improves heating efficiency

  • Can be paired with smart thermostats for maximum savings

  • Reduces gas consumption and CO₂ emissions

Impact: Lower monthly energy bills and improved EPC rating.

3. Smart Heating Controls

  • Programmable thermostats and thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) optimise room-by-room heating

  • Prevents energy waste in unused areas

  • Can be installed without major renovations

Impact: Significant cost savings and positive EPC impact.

4. Double or Triple Glazing

  • Replacing single-glazed windows with energy-efficient glazing prevents heat loss

  • Reduces draughts and improves thermal comfort

  • Long-term energy savings often cover installation costs

Impact: Increases EPC rating and lowers heating costs.

5. Renewable Energy Additions

  • Solar PV panels or solar water heating systems reduce reliance on grid electricity

  • Can generate income via energy feed-in schemes

  • Improves property sustainability credentials

Impact: Both EPC improvement and long-term financial savings.

6. Draught Proofing and Minor Insulation Fixes

  • Seal gaps around doors, windows, loft hatches, and floorboards

  • Apply energy-efficient underlay beneath floors or rugs

  • Low-cost improvements with immediate results

Impact: Prevents heat loss and adds to EPC score without major expense.
