Top 5 Tips to Improve Your EPC Rating
Boost Your Energy Score
Whether you're selling your home or just want to lower your energy bills, a better EPC rating is always a plus. Here are our top 5 tips:
1. Upgrade Your Lighting
Replace all old halogen or incandescent bulbs with energy-efficient LEDs. This is the cheapest and easiest improvement you can make.
2. Insulate Your Loft
Ensure you have at least 270mm of loft insulation. If you have none, you're losing up to 25% of your heat through the roof!
3. Install Heating Controls
Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs) and a modern room thermostat give you better control over your heating and improve your rating.
4. Double Glazing
If you still have single glazing, upgrading to double glazing will improve heat retention and reduce noise.
5. Renewable Energy
Consider solar panels or a heat pump if you're looking for a major upgrade that will future-proof your home.
