Boost Your Property’s Energy Efficiency and Save Money
Your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating shows how energy-efficient your property is — and improving it can make a big difference.
A higher EPC score means lower energy bills, greater comfort, and increased property value.
At EPC Yorkshire, we help homeowners and landlords understand their EPC ratings and how to improve them — all starting with a fixed-price EPC for just £59.99.
⚡ What Your EPC Score Means
EPC ratings range from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).
Your rating reflects how well your home retains heat and uses energy.
Small improvements can often push your property up one or more bands — saving you hundreds of pounds a year.
| EPC Rating | Efficiency | Typical Property Type |
|---|---|---|
| A – B | Excellent | Modern, energy-efficient homes |
| C – D | Average | Most UK properties |
| E – G | Poor | Older or poorly insulated homes |
🏡 Top 10 Ways to Improve Your EPC Rating
1️⃣ Upgrade Your Loft Insulation
Poor insulation is one of the biggest causes of heat loss.
Adding or topping up your loft insulation to 270mm or more can significantly improve your EPC score.
2️⃣ Add Cavity Wall Insulation
If your home was built after 1920, it may have cavity walls. Filling these with insulation helps retain heat and can raise your EPC rating by one or two bands.
3️⃣ Install Energy-Efficient Lighting
Switching all bulbs to LEDs or other low-energy lighting is one of the simplest and cheapest upgrades that improves your EPC score instantly.
4️⃣ Upgrade Your Boiler
Older boilers are less efficient and use more fuel. Replacing yours with a modern condensing boiler can make a major difference to both your EPC rating and heating bills.
5️⃣ Improve Heating Controls
Adding programmable thermostats and thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) helps you manage heating more efficiently — another quick win for EPC improvement.
6️⃣ Seal Draughts
Use draught excluders, sealants, and double glazing to prevent heat loss around windows, doors, and floors.
A warmer home uses less energy — improving both comfort and efficiency.
7️⃣ Upgrade Windows to Double or Triple Glazing
If your property still has single-glazed windows, replacing them with energy-efficient double glazing will reduce heat loss and improve your EPC rating.
8️⃣ Add or Upgrade Floor Insulation
Insulating ground floors (especially in older homes) helps prevent heat escaping through the ground and contributes to a better EPC score.
9️⃣ Consider Renewable Energy
Installing solar panels, air-source heat pumps, or solar water heating can give your EPC a big boost — and may qualify you for government incentives.
🔟 Insulate Hot Water Cylinder and Pipes
If you have a hot water tank, fit a thick hot water cylinder jacket and insulate exposed pipes to reduce heat loss and improve efficiency.
