The financial benefit of energy efficient homes

29 November 2024

The cost of energy bills can vary hugely depending on your property’s EPC rating. An energy performance certificate (EPC) measures the energy efficiency of a property. A is the most efficient rating, and G is the least. A recent study [1] has emphasized the difference that a good rating makes. For a three-bedroom house, average annual energy bills could be anything from £508 (A rating) to £5,674 (G rating). The most common EPC rating in the UK is a D, with bills averaging £2,340.

There are several things you can do to improve your home’s energy efficiency. Some of the most affordable include replacing your old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent lamps or LED bulbs, installing loft insulation, and insulating your hot water tank.
