A better EPC label lowers your energy bill, increases your property value and is mandatory for buyers in Flanders. Here you can see which interventions deliver the most.
The biggest impact comes from roof insulation, wall insulation and replacing an old boiler with a heat pump or condensing boiler. Double or triple glazing and floor insulation complete the picture.
The order matters: insulate the shell first (roof, walls, windows) before investing in a new heating system.
Roof insulation averages €40–€80/m², wall insulation €80–€150/m², new windows €400–€800 each and a heat pump €8,000–€15,000. The renovation tool combines these items into a first total estimate.
Premiums and tax benefits can significantly reduce the net cost. Always check with your region which premiums are currently available.
Research shows that a better EPC label can increase the sale price. In Flanders a renovation obligation additionally requires buyers to reach at least label D within 5 years, making a good label an asset when selling.
In Flanders buyers must reach at least label D within 5 years of purchase. Brussels and Wallonia are also moving towards stricter requirements.
It depends on the starting situation, but with €15,000–€25,000 you can often achieve 2 to 3 label jumps if you pick the right measures.
In Flanders: Mijn Verbouwpremie and the EPC label premium. In Brussels: Renolution premiums. In Wallonia: PACE premiums. Amounts and conditions change regularly.
No, but the sequence matters. Start with the shell (roof, walls, windows) and move to installations afterwards to maximise the effect.
