When it comes to your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), some upgrades are more than just cosmetic—they deliver long-term savings while boosting your property’s energy rating. These strategic improvements help homeowners and landlords reduce energy bills, increase comfort, and improve property value.

Learn more about our EPC services on our About Us page.

1. Loft and Wall Insulation

  • Loft insulation prevents heat escaping through the roof, which is a major source of energy loss

  • Cavity wall insulation keeps homes warmer and reduces heating costs

  • Both upgrades are cost-effective and provide long-term energy savings

Impact: Raises EPC ratings while lowering energy bills over the years.

2. Efficient Heating Systems

  • Upgrading to a high-efficiency boiler or heat pump increases energy efficiency

  • Pairing with smart thermostats and thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) optimises heating

  • Reduces gas or electricity consumption significantly

Impact: Higher EPC scores and sustained cost savings.

3. Renewable Energy Installations

  • Solar panels, solar water heating, and battery storage reduce reliance on grid energy

  • Renewable energy systems can provide financial returns through energy savings or feed-in tariffs

  • Contributes directly to higher EPC ratings

Impact: Combines environmental benefits with financial savings.

4. Double and Triple Glazing

  • Energy-efficient glazing reduces heat loss and draughts

  • Improves home comfort and reduces heating requirements

  • Investment pays off over time with lower bills and improved EPC performance

5. Draught Proofing and Minor Upgrades

  • Sealing doors, windows, loft hatches, and floorboards reduces heat loss

  • Adding energy-efficient underlay or radiator foil is inexpensive but effective

  • Immediate improvement to EPC ratings and reduced energy usage

6. Benefits of Strategic EPC Upgrades

  • Long-term energy savings that offset initial investment

  • Higher property value and market appeal

  • Compliance and future-proofing against regulatory changes

  • Improved comfort and sustainability for homeowners and tenants
