What next?
After you have ordered your EPC, a certified personnel will come and inspect your property. You will then receive an Energy Performance Certificate, alongside an associated report which suggests improvements to make a building more energy efficient.

The certificate provides 'A' to 'G' ratings for the building, with 'A' being the most energy efficient and 'G' being the least, with the average up to now being 'D'.

To improve an EPC rating, the simplest option is to increase loft insulation up to 270mm, install cavity wall insulation, upgrade windows to double, or triple, glazing, fit insulation to the hot water tank, or service the boiler (or replace, if over 15 years old).
