Energy efficient homes

Energy efficiency is a huge priority for us and for our residents. Having energy efficient homes not only improves the quality of the homes for the residents but also lowers energy consumption and lowers bills. This contributes towards the stress-free renting experience that Placefirst is known for.

EPC ratings - and how they benefit renters

We're focused on achieving high EPC ratings for our homes. There are real benefits to living in a home with a higher EPC rating, and the rating itself can help you understand how energy efficient your home will be.

The key thing to know is that the higher the EPC rating, the lower your energy bills will be. It also means that homes with a higher rating are able to achieve a lower carbon footprint.
