1. Install Low Energy Lighting Switching all bulbs in the property to LED lighting is one of the simplest and most affordable ways to boost an EPC rating. LEDs are highly energy efficient, reduce electricity consumption, and offer long-term cost savings with minimal investment.

2. Insulate Loft Spaces Adding or upgrading loft insulation to the recommended 270mm depth significantly reduces heat loss through the roof. This measure is cost-effective, relatively easy to install, and can lead to noticeable improvements in both energy efficiency and EPC scores.

3. Improve Heating Controls Installing or upgrading to modern heating controls, such as programmable thermostats and thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs), allows more precise regulation of internal temperatures. This reduces unnecessary energy use, supports a more efficient heating system, and can positively influence the EPC outcome.
