EPC Improvements: comprehensive renewable energy for homes and businesses

EPC Improvements is a renewable energy installation company based in the UK that presents itself as a single partner for energy efficiency projects. Its work covers the design, installation, certification, commissioning and ongoing maintenance of systems that combine solar generation, battery storage, heat pump heating, underfloor heating, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) and air conditioning. The company states it has completed over 1,700 projects and has more than ten years of experience in the renewable sector.

A whole-system approach

The company maintains that a home's energy should be planned as a whole rather than as isolated elements. It therefore analyses how heating, electricity and ventilation interact in order to propose a unified plan tailored to each property. This approach applies to both residential and commercial clients, with solutions ranging from a single heat pump or solar panel installation to a complete home energy system.

Solutions for homes

EPC Improvements offers homeowners a clear route depending on the stage they are at. For new build and self build, it proposes integrating energy from the start of the project to avoid costly changes later. For renovations, it coordinates heating, electricity and ventilation before work begins. For upgrading existing homes, it designs a phased roadmap that fits the client's priorities and budget. Residential services include:

• Solar panels to generate electricity from the roof.
• Battery storage to use energy at peak times or overnight.
• Low-emission heat pumps, designed according to each home's heat demand.
• Underfloor heating, compatible with heat pumps.
• MVHR ventilation systems with heat recovery.
• Air conditioning for heating and cooling all year round.

Commercial projects

For businesses, the company develops complete solar projects covering everything from the initial site assessment and system design through to installation and handover. These projects are sized according to the client's energy consumption and long-term plans.

Working process

EPC Improvements' method is structured in four stages: an initial conversation to learn about the home, electricity use and goals; a desktop design that reviews the roof, energy usage and estimated generation, and compares the recommended system with expected savings, costs, finance and practical details; a coordinated installation that includes certification, commissioning and handover; and a monitoring and maintenance service to ensure the system performs over time.

Accreditations and stated results

The company identifies itself as an MCS Certified and TrustMark Accredited installer, with an in-house team covering design, installation, commissioning and support. According to its data, the systems installed generate around 4.3 GWh of clean energy per year and have enabled a reduction of more than 2,200 tonnes of CO₂e annually. At the time of listing, the company showed a rating of 4.69 out of 5 based on 182 reviews.

Government grants and finance

EPC Improvements helps its clients identify the incentives currently available for each type of improvement. In the solar and battery area, the site information mentions the application of 0% VAT to eligible residential installations until 31 March 2027, the Smart Export Guarantee for exporting surplus to the grid, and the Warm Homes: Local Grant programme, which may include solar panels for low-income households in England. For heat pumps, it details the standard Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant of £7,500 for air source and ground source installations in England and Wales, up to £9,000 for homes off the gas grid with oil or LPG heating until 31 March 2027, and £2,500 for residential air-to-air heat pumps. The company notes that eligibility is the first step and that programme conditions can change.

Regarding mortgage finance, the site lists three common routes among UK lenders: interest-free additional borrowing, cashback rewards after installation, and reduced green mortgage rates. It mentions specific examples such as Nationwide's Green Additional Borrowing, with 0% fixed interest for 2 or 5 years for loans between £5,000 and £20,000; Barclays' reward of £500 for solar panels or batteries and £1,000 for low-carbon heating; Halifax and Lloyds cashback of up to £2,000 for energy improvements; and NatWest and Santander green mortgages. EPC Improvements clarifies that it does not provide mortgage advice and that the information was reviewed on 27 August 2026.
