Maximise Your EPC Rating with One Simple Upgrade: Loft Insulation

If you're looking to boost your property's EPC rating in the North West, one of the most effective and affordable improvements is upgrading your loft insulation. In many homes across Merseyside, Cheshire, Halton and North Wales, the current loft insulation levels fall well below modern energy efficiency standards—costing homeowners money in wasted heat and lowering their EPC scores.

Installing or topping up loft insulation to the recommended 270mm can significantly reduce heat loss through the roof. This single upgrade can add up to 10 EPC points or more, depending on the starting condition, and often shifts a property from band D to a more marketable band C.

Not only does it improve your EPC rating, it also delivers immediate savings on heating bills and makes your home more comfortable year-round. Better insulation means less reliance on central heating, fewer cold spots, and greater appeal to prospective buyers or tenants.

As local EPC surveyors working throughout the North West, we regularly see how overlooked loft insulation is—yet it remains one of the quickest wins for improving energy efficiency.
