Heating upgrade guidance
High heat retention storage heaters may help some electrically heated properties, but the exact model, property context and current SAP Product Characteristics Database listing matter.
They may be worth reviewing where the current EPC shows direct electric, room heaters, panel heaters or older storage heaters as a rating weakness.
The EPC benefit depends on recognised product data and how the system is entered into the assessment. Check the exact model, controls and installation evidence.
Heating may not be the only route. Solar PV, insulation, hot water controls and lighting may also influence the pathway to EPC C.
Keep invoices, model numbers, specifications, installation dates and photos so an assessor can review the upgrade correctly.
Next step
Make My Home Energy Efficient can review your EPC, model improvement scenarios, advise on the best route to EPC C and arrange suitable improvement measures through approved installers. Any outcome remains subject to evidence, current RdSAP methodology and final EPC assessment.
