It’s well documented how costly retrofitting properties to meet new energy efficiency standards can be, and with only a few years until the 2028 EPC deadline, most landlords are having to assess their finances to ensure their ratings sit at C or above to avoid fines of up to £30,000 – and there’s a lot of work to be done.

Why Energy-Efficiency is the Answer to Overcoming the Energy Crisis

Higher energy prices and the worry that thousands of people will struggle to heat their homes this winter has led to more people trying to find ways to heat their homes for less. One of the most effective solutions to the energy crisis is creating an energy efficient home, or retrofitting your existing property to retain heat more effectively. In fact, studies suggest that across England and Wales, over £10bn could be saved in energy costs just by upgrading leaky homes to a higher standard.
