Cheers, I have an EPC from when we bought the place a couple of years ago (it's on that site as valid until July 23), that's the pretty generic one which talks about lightbulbs.

I want something which is more: this is where heat is escaping and this is how you could fix it or this room isn't heating properly because radiators are the wrong size, etc.

I assume being end of terrace with a big west facing wall is one of the major issues. Not sure how that can be fixed for a reasonable cost or who I would ask about it.

Elsewhere in the EPC there should be suggestions on what to change, what it costs and what it’ll save. It’s very vague but it’s a start.

Yes, the main two are:

Step 1: Internal or external wall insulation

Typical installation cost
```
£4,000 - £14,000 
```
Typical yearly saving
```
£371 
```
Step 2: Floor insulation

Typical installation cost
```
£800 - £1,200 
```
Typical yearly saving
```
£67 
```
(Plus add solar power)

Which are obviously pretty substantial and pretty vague.

I'm more thinking of hiring someone with the thermal camera who will tell me what's going on.
