Large homes offer space, comfort, and luxury—but they also present unique challenges when it comes to Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs). One often-overlooked issue is thermal bypass, a phenomenon where heat escapes through unexpected pathways, reducing overall energy efficiency. At Urgent EPC, we frequently assess large properties
Converting a commercial property into a residential home can be an exciting way to repurpose space and increase housing availability. However, such conversions come with unique Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) requirements. Meeting EPC standards is crucial for compliance, sales, rentals, and energy efficiency. At Urgent EPC,
When it comes to Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), insulation, heating systems, and windows often get most of the attention. However, one critical yet often overlooked factor is building airtightness. Even with top-quality insulation and modern heating, poor airtightness can reduce energy efficiency and prevent your property
Properties with multiple extensions or additions are popular for their increased space and flexibility. However, when it comes to Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), mixed-age homes often present unique challenges. Even after renovations, EPC ratings can be lower than expected, leaving homeowners and landlords searching for answers.
When homeowners think about improving their EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) ratings, they often focus on walls, windows, and heating systems. However, one commonly overlooked factor is hot water cylinder insulation. Poorly insulated cylinders can significantly affect energy efficiency and drag down your EPC score, even in
Heritage or listed properties are cherished for their character, history, and architectural features. However, when it comes to Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), these homes often face unique challenges. Even minor renovations may not lead to significant EPC improvements, leaving homeowners and landlords frustrated. At Urgent EPC,
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are designed to give an accurate assessment of a property’s energy efficiency. However, even small issues in insulation can lead to misleading results. In particular, inconsistent insulation layers—gaps, uneven thickness, or partial coverage—can cause an EPC to underestimate a home’s true efficiency.
As energy efficiency regulations tighten, many homeowners and landlords are turning to heat pumps to reduce energy consumption and improve EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) ratings. But not all heat pumps are created equal, and the type you choose — air source (ASHP) or ground source (GSHP)
When homeowners and landlords think about improving their EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) rating, insulation, windows, and heating systems usually come to mind. However, one often-overlooked factor can significantly impact your rating: thermal bridging. At Urgent EPC, we frequently see properties where even minor thermal bridges cause
Homeowners often assume that once a property is renovated, it will automatically achieve a higher EPC rating. Unfortunately, that isn’t always the case. Even modernised homes can score poorly on an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), leaving sellers, landlords, and buyers frustrated. At Urgent EPC, we regularly
