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
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) measure a property’s energy efficiency, ranging from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). One often-overlooked factor influencing EPC ratings is moisture and dampness within walls, floors, and roofs. Excess moisture can reduce thermal performance, increase heating requirements, and ultimately lower EPC
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are essential for measuring a property’s energy efficiency, with ratings from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). Properties with hybrid heating systems—combining traditional and renewable energy sources such as gas boilers with heat pumps—pose unique challenges for EPC reporting. Proper assessment
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) assess a property’s energy efficiency, ranging from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). One of the most effective ways to improve EPC ratings is through building envelope retrofits—upgrading walls, roofs, floors, windows, and doors to reduce energy loss and enhance thermal
