ENERGY SAVING TOP TIPS
If you need to bring your rental home up to the required standard, or just want to further enhance your EPC rating and to be prepared for a possible rise in the new minimum requirements, here are a number of quick and simple steps you can take.
Upgrade your lighting to LED light bulbs
One easy way to improve energy efficiency is to replace old halogen or incandescent light bulbs with light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
Insulate the walls and roof
Increasing insulation in the loft to at least 270mm thick will have a significant impact on how much energy escapes through the roof. An uninsulated roof typically lose up to 33% of heat through the roof!
Cavity and solid wall insulation are 2 ways that the energy efficiency can be easily increased. The cost can range from £300-700 for cavity insulation and slightly higher at £3000-22,000 for solid wall insulation.
Install a more efficient boiler
Depending on the age of the existing boiler, switching to a newer, condensing model can significantly improve your rating. One of the major drags on a home’s energy efficiency is typically an inefficient boiler, whereas as a very efficient one could have a huge impact on your EPC score – increasing it by as much as 40 points. With the minimum threshold for an EPC rating standing at 39, this could get you to the required standard in one fell swoop.
Install a smart meter
They are a great way of telling you and your tenants how much energy is being used and ways to modify the behaviours accordingly to become less wasteful and reduce the energy bills.
Invest in double or triple glazed windows
New double glazing for an older property could help to boost your property’s EPC score by five to ten points, and the cost is likely to be in the region of £2,000-£5,000 for a typical terraced property.
