Whole-Home Energy Upgrades: How to Improve Your EPC and Future-Proof Your Property
EPC Rating
If you’re planning a home energy retrofit or starting a new build, now is the perfect time to take a whole-home approach to energy efficiency. At Elite Energy Eco, we help homeowners improve their EPC rating, reduce running costs, and boost comfort through smart, sustainable technologies, all working together in harmony.
Whether you want to reduce your bills, achieve a better EPC for resale, or gain energy independence, our complete suite of products has you covered.
Solar Panels – Generate Clean Energy for Your Home
Our expertly designed solar PV systems harness the power of the sun to produce free, renewable electricity. Combined with smart inverters and roof-optimised layouts, solar panels are the cornerstone of an efficient, low-carbon home, ideal for both retrofits and new builds.
Key benefits:
Slash your energy bills
Cut your carbon footprint
Increase property value and EPC rating
Battery Storage – Store Energy, Use It Anytime
With home battery storage, you can capture excess solar energy and use it later, day or night. This maximises your self-consumption and provides backup power during outages, offering greater energy security and independence from the grid.
Even without solar panels or during darker winter days, modern battery systems can charge up during off-peak periods when electricity tariffs are cheaper, allowing you to store low-cost energy and use it when prices rise. It’s one of the smartest ways to save money and stabilise your energy costs all year round.
Perfect for: homeowners looking to reduce grid reliance, make use of cheaper tariffs, and gain control over their household energy spending.
Heat Pumps – Efficient, Low-Carbon Heating Made Simple
Modern air source heat pumps (ASHPs) are smaller, quieter, and more efficient than ever before, making them an ideal replacement for traditional boilers. Rather than burning fuel, they work by extracting renewable heat from the air and using it to warm your home and hot water.
Thanks to advances in technology, today’s systems operate quietly in the background, even in colder weather, while delivering up to three times more energy than they consume in electricity. When paired with good insulation and underfloor heating, a heat pump can provide consistent comfort, impressive efficiency, and major reductions in your carbon footprint.
Ideal for: achieving a top EPC rating, lowering heating bills, and enjoying clean, future-proof comfort all year round.
Whole-Home Insulation – The Foundation of Energy Efficiency
A truly energy-efficient home starts with proper insulation. By reducing heat loss and eliminating draughts, insulation makes every other upgrade, from heat pumps to solar panels, work more effectively.
At Elite Energy Eco, we offer a complete range of insulation options tailored to your property type:
Loft Insulation: Prevents valuable heat from escaping through your roof, one of the quickest and most cost-effective ways to improve efficiency.
Cavity Wall Insulation: Fills the gap between external walls with advanced insulating materials, keeping your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
Internal Wall Insulation: Ideal for solid-wall homes or properties where external work isn’t suitable. Adds a thermal layer inside, reducing energy loss without altering your exterior look.
We can also upgrade floor and pipe insulation to ensure your entire home performs efficiently and consistently.
Results: lower energy bills, greater year-round comfort, and a significantly higher EPC rating.
Underfloor Heating – Smart, Even Heat
Underfloor heating delivers gentle, even warmth exactly where you need it most, across the whole floor surface. It eliminates cold spots, frees up wall space, and pairs perfectly with low-temperature systems such as air source heat pumps, creating a truly efficient and comfortable home environment.
Our installation experts can design and fit underfloor heating for virtually any property, whether you’re building new or upgrading an existing home. We work with all flooring types, including:
🏗 Uninstalled concrete slabs – ideal for new builds or extensions before the final floor finish.
🪨 Existing concrete floors – retrofit-friendly systems that minimise disruption.
🪵 Suspended timber floors – smart solutions that integrate neatly between joists for a seamless, energy-efficient result.
Every system is carefully planned to provide consistent, efficient heat with simple, smart control options, giving your home lasting comfort and luxury.
Boilers – Modern, Efficient, Reliable
If your current boiler is more than 10 years old, upgrading to an A-rated condensing boiler can dramatically improve efficiency. Our expert installers ensure your system runs cleanly, efficiently, and in compliance with new environmental standards.
Central Heating – Smart, Connected Comfort
We design and install modern central heating systems that work seamlessly with your other upgrades. Add smart controls and thermostats for total home efficiency, whether you’re managing multiple zones or a single system.
Why Take a Whole-Home Approach?
Upgrading one system at a time is good, but combining them is transformative. Each upgrade supports the others to deliver:
Maximum energy efficiency
Lower running costs
Higher comfort levels
Improved property value and EPC score
Our team of experts can design a complete home energy plan tailored to your property, goals, and budget, ensuring you get the best long-term return on your investment.
