Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) not only show a property’s energy efficiency but also serve as a gateway to government grants and incentives for energy upgrades. Homeowners, landlords, and businesses can leverage EPC survey data to qualify for funding aimed at improving insulation, heating systems, and renewable energy installations. At Urgent EPC, we provide certified EPC surveys that help you access these grants quickly and efficiently.
1. Understanding the Link Between EPCs and Grants
Many UK government schemes require a valid EPC rating to determine eligibility. For example:
Properties with low energy efficiency (typically rated D or below) are often prioritized for funding.
EPC recommendations highlight the exact improvements that qualify for grants.
Accurate survey data ensures compliance with government requirements and speeds up application approval.
2. Common Government Energy Upgrade Grants
Green Homes Grant (England): Covers insulation, low-carbon heating, and energy-saving measures.
Energy Company Obligation (ECO): Focused on improving energy efficiency in low-income households.
Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI): Supports installation of renewable heating systems like heat pumps or solar thermal panels.
Local Authority Grants: Many councils provide additional funding based on EPC survey recommendations.
Our residential EPC services help property owners determine which upgrades are eligible.
3. How an EPC Survey Helps You Qualify
