What is an Energy Label
With an energy label, you can see how energy efficient a home is. The energy label is expressed in classes A to G. A home with energy label A (or higher) is very energy efficient, while a home with energy label G is not really efficient. Very energy-efficient homes are given an extra specification, for example energy label A+++.
What Do Energy Labels Mean
An energy-efficient home often means (much) lower energy bill, more comfortable living and is better for the environment. It's common to find houses that seem more affordable compared to others, but if they are rated with an energy label E, F, or G, it means your savings on rent could be offset by higher energy bills. Additionally, living in homes with an energy label D or lower might not be as comfortable, especially in winter.
