An EPC energy rating of C indicates a fairly efficient building.
An EPC energy rating of “C” indicates a home that was built using energy efficient building methods or one that underwent renovation work aimed at increasing its energy efficiency.
A “C” rating indicates the home is between 69 and 80% efficient.
That’s good considering the average home is between 55 and 68% energy efficient.
A good EPC rating will make a home or rental property more attractive to potential buyers or renters who know they will not be facing monumental energy bills every month.
Real estate industry studies confirm this and go on to indicate that energy efficient homes also attract notably higher sale prices than homes that are not energy efficient.
As much as 2 to 8% higher.
If you want to raise your EPC energy rating to C or better are any number of things you can do.
