This means that now, more than ever, UK homeowners need to make sure that our homes are working for us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to energy usage in our\nhouses though, the benefits of being as energy efficient as possible and\nreducing our energy consumption can have a bigger impact than just reducing our\noutgoings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Firstly, in addition to benefitting from\ncheaper energy bills, reduced energy consumption means a lower carbon footprint,\nwhich means you chalk up a win for yourself and the planet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Secondly, if you plan to sell in the\nnear future, having a more energy efficient home can improve its market value considerably\nand attract buyers who are looking for a home which is both cost effective and more\nenvironmentally friendly to run. According to estate agents <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savills.co.uk\/research_articles\/229130\/333590-0\">Savills<\/a>, 76% of buyers are now considering the prospective\nenergy consumption of a new home before they buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, how do you go about making your home\nmore energy efficient? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, the first consideration is your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yopa.co.uk\/homeowners-hub\/how-much-is-an-epc\/\">EPC rating<\/a>. Your EPC, or energy performance\ncertificate, rates your home on its energy efficiency and you must have an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yopa.co.uk\/homeowners-hub\/how-long-is-an-epc-valid\/\">up to date EPC<\/a> available for prospective buyers or\nrenters if you decide to sell or let your property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EPC ratings range alphabetically from A\nto G, with A being the highest and very efficient to G which is the lowest and very\ninefficient. Your EPC will also include your carbon emission levels which can\nbe helpful when it to comes to making more planet-friendly, sustainable\nchanges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are renting out your property, it\nis a legal requirement that it has a rating of E or above. When it comes to\nselling, to really add value to your property, you need to ensure that your\nenergy performance rating is as high as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moneysupermarket.com\/\">Moneysupermarket.com<\/a>, moving from a G rating to an A or B rating on your EPC can add around 14% to the value of your home, meaning a substantial potential uplift of tens of thousands of pounds. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"valuation-widgets\">\n    <div class=\"valuation-widgets__col\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yopa.co.uk\/online-valuation\" class=\"valuation-widget\">\n            <div class=\"media\">\n    <div class=\"media__media\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dy36.stage.yopa-dev.co.uk\/homeowners-hub\/wp-content\/themes\/yopa\/assets\/images\/icon-house.svg\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\">    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"media__inner\">\n        <div class=\"media__heading\">\n            Instant online <span class=\"chevron\">valuation<\/span>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"media__content\">\n            <p>Get a rough estimate of your home's value now.<\/p>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"valuation-widgets__col\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yopa.co.uk\/property-valuation\" class=\"valuation-widget\">\n            <div class=\"media\">\n    <div class=\"media__media\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dy36.stage.yopa-dev.co.uk\/homeowners-hub\/wp-content\/themes\/yopa\/assets\/images\/icon-currency.svg\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\">    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"media__inner\">\n        <div class=\"media__heading\">\n            Face-to-face <span class=\"chevron\">valuation<\/span>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"media__content\">\n            <p>Book an appointment with your local Yopa agent.<\/p>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>So, how can you increase your energy efficiency\nrating?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are changes you can make which\nwill have a significant impact on the energy efficiency of your home, such as\ninstalling solar panels or a new boiler. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, whilst <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yopa.co.uk\/homeowners-hub\/how-much-do-solar-panels-add-to-the-value-of-your-house\/\">solar panels<\/a> can save you around \u00a3522 on your\nelectricity bills each year and add approximately 4%-14% on average to the\nvalue of your home, if you plan to move in the near future they may not be the\nright option given their costly outlay. Indeed, solar panels cost in the region\nof \u00a35,420 to install and \u2013 assuming you own them outright and haven\u2019t chosen the more affordable\noption of leasing \u2013 they can be difficult and costly to move to a new property.\nMost solar panels are not particularly aesthetically pleasing either, which may\nbe a deal breaker for the less climate conscious buyer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have had your current boiler for some time, installing a new one is often a sensible move to keep on top of those rising energy bills \u2013 with the potential of a whopping 40% efficiency increase according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.checkatrade.com\/\">Checkatrade<\/a>. It is also a real selling point for prospective buyers. However, in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis, many of us don\u2019t have a spare few thousand pounds down the back of the sofa to put towards a new boiler, which can cost anywhere between \u00a32,000 &#8211; \u00a34,500 when you add on the labour costs to fit it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are keen to make energy efficient\nadjustments to your home but don\u2019t want to pay a premium to do so, consider\nsmaller wins. This includes the likes of energy efficient light fittings, water\nefficient shower heads, cistern displacement devices for your toilet and <a href=\"https:\/\/energysavingtrust.org.uk\/advice\/draught-proofing\/\">draught-proofing<\/a> of any unsealed windows or gaps under\ndoors and floors to control ventilation and reduce condensation and heat waste in\nyour home. These changes can cost less than \u00a3100 to implement and still make a\nbig impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Making sure the insulation in the walls and roof of your property is as effective as possible is also a good way to improve your energy efficiency and can reduce heat loss by an impressive 25% according to energy supplier <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edfenergy.com\/\">EDF<\/a>, shaving hundreds of pounds from your annual energy bills. Having glass fibre or a renewable wood fibre insulation installed in your roof costs around \u00a3800 depending on the size of your roof and it costs the same again on average to have cavity wall insultation injected into a four-walled, two storey home, size dependent. Improving the insulation in your roof and walls can add an additional 20-30 points to your EPC rating, moving you up an impressive 1-2 bands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with any home improvements you make though, always make sure you hire a <a href=\"https:\/\/hoa.org.uk\/advice\/guides-for-homeowners\/i-am-improving\/check-your-tradesmen\/\">qualified professional<\/a>.
