Before getting an EPC there are a number of measures we can take to improve the outcome of the EPC
- Fit energy saving lighting
- We already have energy efficient lighting
- Double glaze all windows
- We already have double glazed windows
- Improve loft insulation
- We currently have 10cm of loft insulation this should be increased to 27cm
- Cavity Wall insulation
- We have cavity wall insulation. But this was done to the property before we bought it and we have lived here for nearly than years. I will see if we have any documentation for this.
- Upgrade to an efficient boiler
- Our gas central heating boiler is a condensing boiler and less than 10 years old. Nominally considered efficient so our energy rating from this should be OK
The main deficiency our house has is the loft insulation. So we will increase this to 27cm.
