Recommended Improvements

Your EPC includes a list of recommended improvements that could help make your property more energy efficient, reduce energy bills, and lower carbon emissions. The estimated installation costs shown are based on average prices across the UK and are intended as a guide. Actual costs may vary depending on your property, location, and chosen installer.

Why is the order important?

Recommendations are designed to be completed in the order they appear. Each improvement builds on the previous one, helping you achieve the highest possible energy efficiency rating. While you can choose to complete improvements in any order, doing so may affect the overall energy rating your property could achieve.

How are recommendations chosen?

The recommendations are automatically generated using information collected during the EPC assessment. They are not selected or customised by the assessor and cannot be changed.

Estimated Energy Use & Potential Savings

The energy use and cost estimates in your EPC are based on standard assumptions on occupancy and typical household energy use. This allows properties to be compared fairly using the same criteria.

Your actual energy consumption and running costs may differ depending on factors such as:

  • The number of people living in the property
  • Heating and hot water usage
  • Appliances and lighting
  • Lifestyle and energy habits
