The Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) has become an essential criterion in the search for eco-friendly homes.
What if your electric heating became a true lever for energy optimisation?
Discover in this article simple and effective tips to optimise your EPC with electric heating, while creating a comfortable and eco-responsible environment in your home.
Why does electric heating influence your EPC?
The EPC evaluates a property's energy consumption as well as its CO₂ emissions impact. An outdated, poorly regulated or energy-intensive heating system can penalise your rating.
Conversely, a modern, properly sized and intelligently controlled electric heating system contributes to:
- Reducing energy consumption
- Improving thermal comfort
- Increasing your property value
- Reducing your carbon footprint
1. Choose high energy-efficiency electric radiators
Not all electric radiators are equal. New generation models offer far superior performance compared to conventional convectors.
Dry inertia radiators (ceramic or cast iron):
They store heat and release it progressively, guaranteeing:
- A stable temperature
- Fewer consumption peaks
- Lasting comfort
Dual-core radiators (with heating film):
They combine responsiveness and even distribution for a pleasant and natural sensation. Gentle heat radiators (with heating film) are available in Ceramic + Heating Film or Cast Iron + Heating Film.
2. Programme your heating to consume less.
A heating system running continuously at high temperature increases your bill… and your EPC rating.
Installing an electric radiator equipped with a programmable thermostat allows you to:
- Adapt the temperature to your schedule
- Automatically reduce heating at night
- Lower the temperature when away
- Optimise every degree consumed
A reduction of just 1°C can represent up to 7% in energy savings.
3. Adopt zoning for tailored comfort
Why heat the entire home to the same temperature?
Thermal zoning consists of installing individual thermostats room by room in order to:
- Heat only occupied spaces
- Adapt the temperature according to usage (bedroom, living room, office)
- Avoid unnecessary waste
Result: controlled consumption and personalised comfort.
4. Improve insulation to maximise performance
Even the best radiator cannot compensate for poor insulation.
To optimise your EPC, consider:
- Insulating the loft (up to 30% of heat loss)
- Replacing old windows
- Reinforcing wall insulation
- Treating thermal bridges
A well-insulated home consumes less… and heats better.
