🚀 Easy EPC Upgrades for Landlords in 2025: The Smart Path to Compliance Did you know that 95% of landlords are unaware of their property’s EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) score? With stricter regulations on the horizon—requiring all rental properties to achieve at least a C rating by 2030—it’s crucial to get ahead of the curve. Here’s the good news: Small, targeted upgrades can make a big difference. 🌱 🔑 How EPC Ratings Work EPC ratings aren’t just letter grades (A-G)—they’re based on numerical points. For instance, moving from a D to a C might only require a single point, meaning one simple upgrade could tip the scales. 🛠️ Quick Wins for EPC Points • Hot water cylinder insulation: +1.7 points • Low-energy lighting: +1.1 points • Hot water cylinder thermostat: +2.4 points 💡 Biggest Impact Upgrades • Condensing gas boiler: +23 points (far better than BIOMASS boilers for EPC scores) • Room in roof insulation: +9.91 points • Solar panels: +9.91 points 📊 Why It Matters As Craig Cooper, COO of epIMS, explains: “Understanding the EPC points system is key. Without this knowledge, landlords could overspend on eco-friendly upgrades that don’t actually boost their EPC score. That’s why epIMS was created—to help landlords pinpoint the most effective upgrades for their properties.” 🔍 Find out your EPC score and identify the best upgrades today—your future tenants (and your wallet) will thank you. #EPCUpgrades #LandlordTips #PropertyManagement #Sustainability
