FAQ

There are several practical improvements that can help increase your EPC rating and improve energy efficiency:

🔧 Loft insulation

Increasing loft insulation (e.g. up to 270mm+) can significantly reduce heat loss and improve the EPC score.

🧱 Wall insulation

Cavity wall or internal/external wall insulation can make a major difference. However, for older or traditional buildings, careful assessment is required to avoid issues such as damp or reduced ventilation. Suitable solutions should always be considered on a case-by-case basis.

🔥 Upgrade boiler

Replacing an old boiler with a modern, efficient condensing boiler can improve heating efficiency.

💡 Energy-efficient lighting

Installing LED lighting throughout the property is a simple and effective way to gain EPC points.

🪟 Double or triple glazing

Upgrading windows helps reduce heat loss and improves overall thermal performance.

🌡️ Heating controls

Adding smart thermostats, programmers, or TRVs improves control and efficiency of heating systems.

☀️ Solar panels

Installing solar PV can significantly boost the EPC rating and reduce electricity costs.

🏠 Floor insulation

Insulating suspended floors or solid floors can help reduce heat loss, especially in older homes. but in older homes we need to ensure proper airflow is maintained to prevent damp or damage to the structure.
