The average annual gas bill will be around 50 higher per year for homes with an energy performance certificate score of F.

People who live in poorly insulated homes will be facing gas bills around 50% higher than those whose properties have met Government targets as the new price cap comes into force.

The extra cost is when compared to homes with EPC ratings of C, which are considered reasonably well-insulated. Even D-rated homes will face annual bills around 15% higher, the research found. The ECIU said that a little over a decade ago there were considerably more homes being insulated every year in the UK. Compared to the period before changes made by then prime minister David Cameron, there has been a 95% drop in the number of insulation measures.
