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:
Upgrade the lighting to LED light bulbs
Insulate the walls and roof
Invest in double or triple-glazed windows
Upgrade the boiler
Install underfloor heating
Install a smart meter
Invest in renewable energy
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.
