Energy bills are rising and demand for electricity from households increases each year. The increasing energy costs and people's desire for a sustainable lifestyle emphasise the significance of having a good EPC rating now more than ever.

Belvoir explain how to achieve a good EPC rating (review of a property's energy efficiency) and attain savings within the household:

Switch to Energy Efficient Bulbs

Switching to energy-efficient lighting, such as LED lights, not only lowers electricity bills but also reduces carbon dioxide emissions without compromising the quality of light in our homes. A complete replacement of bulbs in your home with LED lights has the potential to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and potentially each bulb can save over 5 times their original purchase cost.

Insulate Your Loft

In a home without insulation, about 25% of heat escapes through the roof. One way to minimise heat loss and reduce heating costs is to insulate the loft. Properly installed loft insulation has a lifespan of 40 years and can pay for itself several times over during this period.

Replace Your Old Boiler

Upgrading to a new A+ grade condensing boiler has the potential to reduce energy bills by 20-30% and soften the impact of future increases in energy prices.

Older boilers are less efficient, with some having a G rating and an energy efficiency rating as low as 60%. This means that 40% of the energy cost goes to waste instead of heating your home.

Replacing an older boiler with a modern condensing boiler can help save money on energy bills and reduce the carbon footprint of your home, as modern boilers are much more energy-efficient than older ones.
