What is an EPC?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) measures your home’s energy efficiency. It provides a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), based on factors like insulation, heating systems, and how energy is used in your property.
Think of it as your home’s energy fitness score. A better rating means a more energy-efficient home, which often leads to lower energy bills and reduced carbon emissions.
Why Does Your EPC Matter?
Your EPC isn’t just for show—it has real-world implications for your home and finances. Here’s why it matters:
- Eligibility for Grants: Many energy-saving grant schemes, such as ECO4, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, and GBIS, require an up-to-date EPC to assess your home’s energy efficiency. Properties with lower ratings (D, E, F, or G) are often prioritised for funding, as they benefit most from upgrades.
- Unlocking Upgrades: An EPC identifies areas for improvement, such as insulation or heating upgrades, and can guide you towards the right solutions.
- Boosting Property Value: A higher EPC rating can increase your home’s market appeal, making it more attractive to eco-conscious buyers or renters.
- Cutting Costs: Homes with better energy efficiency ratings cost less to heat, light, and power—saving you money every month.
