6Understanding EPC Ratings

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates your home's energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). To qualify for the Warm Home Grant, your property needs a rating of D, E, F, or G.

Most older homes in the UK fall into these categories. If your home was built before 2000 and hasn't had significant energy improvements, it's very likely to qualify.
