Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) measure a property’s energy efficiency, including heating, insulation, and overall energy use. One system that can influence your EPC rating is a split heating system.
What Is a Split Heating System?
A split heating system consists of:
Outdoor unit: Usually a heat pump or compressor.
Indoor unit(s): Air handlers that deliver heat to specific rooms.
This allows zoned heating, where you heat only occupied rooms, reducing energy waste and potentially improving your EPC score. Learn more about EPCs on our Residential EPC page.
Benefits for EPC Ratings
Zoned Heating Efficiency: Targeted heating reduces energy consumption.
High System Efficiency: Many split systems use air-source heat pumps (ASHPs) with a high Coefficient of Performance (COP).
Smart Controls: Thermostats and timers adapt heating to occupancy, improving efficiency.
Lower Distribution Losses: Heat is delivered directly to rooms, reducing energy loss.
Works Well with Upgrades: Combine with insulation or double glazing for maximum EPC improvement.

Key Tips
Choose high-efficiency systems with a good COP rating.
Improve insulation to minimize heat loss.
Report all system specifications accurately during your EPC assessment.
Ensure even efficiency if you have multiple heating systems.
