While energy prices have thankfully begun to stabilise, many of us are still feeling the squeeze. But are you paying the same as other people in comparable households?
Based on an assessment of over 250,000 Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) created between November 2023 and January 2024, Rightmove has tracked the average cost of energy bills across the country. The results show that the better your EPC rating (with A being the most energy efficient and G the least efficient), the less it’ll cost to run your home.
The average home has an EPC rating of D, leaving plenty of room for improvement. Rightmove’s analysis also showed that taking steps to increase your property’s EPC (by installing triple-glazing, upgrading your boiler, and insulating your loft) can even add £56,000 to its value.* Now, that’s worth thinking about.
