Many homeowners focus on obvious improvements like insulation or boilers when it comes to their Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). However, there are several lesser-known upgrades that can significantly improve your rating. By paying attention to these often-overlooked areas, you can boost your EPC efficiently and cost-effectively.

1. Upgrade Loft and Floor Insulation

While many homeowners insulate walls, lofts and floors are often neglected. Improving these areas can:

  • Reduce heat loss

  • Lower energy bills

  • Significantly raise your EPC score

For professional advice and service, visit our EPC Assessors London page and learn about our team on About Us.

2. Install Smart Heating Controls

Even an efficient boiler may not deliver maximum efficiency without modern controls:

  • Programmable thermostats

  • Zoned heating systems

  • Smart radiator valves

These upgrades demonstrate energy-conscious living to assessors. Schedule an assessment through our Booking page.

3. Improve Hot Water Tank Efficiency

Hot water tanks are often overlooked. Simple steps like insulation jackets or timers can:

  • Reduce energy consumption

  • Increase EPC rating points

4. Add Energy-Efficient Lighting

Switching to LEDs or low-energy lighting is an easy upgrade many homeowners miss. Efficient lighting:

  • Lowers electricity use

  • Demonstrates energy-conscious living to assessors

5. Address Hidden Drafts

Drafts around windows, doors, and loft hatches are common energy leaks. Simple draught-proofing:

  • Reduces heat loss

  • Improves your EPC rating

A professional assessment can identify these issues. Book now via our Booking page.

6. Consider Partial Renewable Energy

Even partial renewable energy solutions, such as solar water heating, can impact your EPC positively. Learn more on our EPC Services page.

7. Keep Documentation of Upgrades

Proper documentation of all improvements ensures assessors reflect them in your rating:

  • New boilers

  • Insulation upgrades

  • Renewable installations

Check our Pricing page for more details.

Final Thoughts

Many EPC improvements are easy to overlook but can have a significant impact. By focusing on lofts, floors, heating controls, lighting, and renewable energy, you can increase your EPC rating, reduce energy bills, and enhance your property’s appeal.
