Top Tips to save on your Energy

Eight ways to improve your property's EPC rating

To improve your rental property's EPC rating, you must make changes to enhance its energy efficiency. Here are eight actionable ways to achieve this:

1. Upgrade the lighting to LED light bulbs

2. Insulate the walls and roof

3. Invest in double or triple-glazed windows

4. Upgrade the boiler

5. Install underfloor heating

6. Install a smart meter

7. Invest in renewable energy

8. Seek help from your energy supplier
   
   

Before you attempt to improve your property's EPC rating, remember that it could be more cost-effective to carry out a whole house retrofit – in which you tackle insulation, windows and heating systems in one go – rather than carry out a series of smaller, independent upgrades.
