What are EPC Grants and Funding?
Financial support for homeowners
EPC Grants are government-backed funds that help homeowners and landlords improve their property’s energy efficiency.
Why Should I Apply for EPC Grants or Funding?
If your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating is low (D to G), these grants can fund upgrades like insulation and heating systems, leading to significant energy savings and lower bills.
Receiving an EPC grant offers homeowners three significant advantages: immediate savings on energy bills (with potential for even greater reductions than the £178 reported by the English Housing Survey 2022-2023 for improving from a D to C rating), increased property appeal to buyers and renters, and a positive contribution to environmental sustainability through lowered carbon emissions. EPC grants from the government allow homeowners to make these improvements without upfront costs, leading to long-term financial benefits.
