EPC improvement: how and where to start?

Common EPC grade improvement recommendations include:

  • Insulation for your floor, roof, loft or walls. Better insulation reduces the need for heating, thereby lowering your energy bill.
  • Double glazing: windows keep in significantly more heat when they’re double-glazed, again reducing the need for heating.
  • Solar panels: these produce cheaper, greener energy. See our advice on solar panels for more information.
  • Low-energy lighting: a smaller change that involves no structural alteration, using low-energy light bulbs is a cheap, easy way to lower energy bills.
