Frequently Asked Questions

How can I improve my home's EPC rating?

Common improvements include adding loft or cavity wall insulation, upgrading to a condensing boiler or heat pump, installing double or triple glazing, and adding solar panels. Our reports show you which improvements would have the biggest impact on your specific property.

Is solar worth it for my home?

It depends on your roof orientation, local shading, and electricity usage. Postcode Energy uses PVGIS satellite data to estimate your solar generation potential. South-facing roofs in England typically generate 800-1000 kWh per kWp installed per year.

How accurate are the energy cost estimates?

EPC cost estimates use standardised assumptions about occupancy and heating patterns, so they're best used for comparing properties rather than predicting exact bills. Alongside your EPC rating, we show live energy tariff rates for your region so you can see what typical bills look like today.

Do I need a new EPC?

EPCs are valid for 10 years. You'll need a new one if you're selling or renting, or if you've made significant improvements and want your rating updated. Our reports show when your current certificate expires.
