When aiming to improve your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating, the type of heating system you use plays a major role. Here’s a breakdown of the most EPC-efficient heating options:
🔥 1. Heat Pumps (Air Source or Ground Source)
EPC Rating Impact: Very High
Why It’s Good: These renewable systems use minimal electricity and extract heat from the environment, offering high efficiency and low carbon emissions.
🌡️ 2. Modern Condensing Gas Boilers
EPC Rating Impact: High
Why It’s Good: Condensing boilers are more efficient than older gas systems, using less fuel to produce the same amount of heat.
♻️ 3. Biomass Boilers
EPC Rating Impact: High
Why It’s Good: Uses organic materials (e.g., wood pellets) as fuel and is considered a renewable energy source.
⚡ 4. Electric Heating (Night Storage Heaters or Panel Heaters)
EPC Rating Impact: Moderate to Low
Why It’s Good/Bad: Although electric heating can be efficient, it’s often more expensive to run and carbon-intensive unless powered by green electricity.

Adding smart heating controls, insulation, and thermostatic radiator valves can also significantly boost your EPC rating regardless of your heating type.
