Boiler Replacements to Boost Your EPC Band

The heating system accounts for a large proportion of the EPC calculation. Older non-condensing boilers score poorly compared to modern A-rated condensing models. Replacing an ageing boiler with a new condensing boiler and adding proper heating controls — including a programmer, room thermostat, and thermostatic radiator valves — can lift your rating significantly.

A new boiler is a larger investment, typically £1,500 to £3,000 installed, but it improves tenant comfort, reduces breakdown risk, and demonstrates landlord responsibility. Combine the boiler upgrade with a power flush and updated controls for the best EPC outcome. Keep your Gas Safe installation certificate for the assessor.
