An EPC rating measures the energy efficiency of a property on a scale from A to G. Improving your EPC rating can reduce energy bills, increase property value and help landlords meet future EPC C requirements.
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates your property from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). A higher EPC rating means lower energy bills, higher property value, and eligibility for government grants.
