If you’re a landlord or property investor, you know how crucial an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating is — not just for compliance, but for attracting quality tenants and reducing running costs. Improving your property’s EPC rating can seem overwhelming and expensive, but there are several quick, affordable upgrades that deliver real results.
At ARV Group, we help landlords boost EPC ratings efficiently, saving money while making properties greener and more attractive.
What Is an EPC and Why Does It Matter?
An EPC rates the energy efficiency of a building from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). Properties with low EPC ratings can face:
- Legal restrictions on renting (minimum EPC E required)
- Higher energy bills for tenants
- Lower rental income and reduced market appeal
Improving your EPC rating benefits both you and your tenants.
Quick & Cost-Effective Ways to Boost Your EPC
1. Install Thermostat & Radiator Controls
Smart thermostats and thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) help regulate heating room by room, reducing wasted energy.
- Benefit: Save up to 15% on heating bills
2. Add Pipe and Loft Insulation
Insulating hot water pipes and the loft prevents heat loss, improving efficiency with minimal disruption.
- Benefit: Can raise EPC rating by 1–2 bands
3. Upgrade to LED Lighting
Switching to LED bulbs reduces electricity consumption.
- Benefit: Long-lasting and energy-saving lighting
4. Fit Draught Excluders & Seal Gaps
Simple fixes around doors and windows prevent cold air ingress and heat loss.
- Benefit: Immediate comfort and efficiency improvements
5. Use Energy-Efficient Boiler Controls
Modern boiler controls optimise heating schedules and reduce fuel use.
- Benefit: Lower bills and better EPC rating
