How do we ensure finance options are fair and suitable?
● Regulated Partner : Zopa’s loans are FCA-regulated, with affordability checks to ensure suitability. ● Transparency : We present clear loan details, with no intermediation or pressure. ● Monitoring : We review feedback quarterly to ensure positive outcomes, adjusting processes within 5 days if needed.
How do I apply for finance, and what happens next?
● Click the “Finance Options” link in your quote to view Zopa’s loan details and criteria. ● If interested, proceed to Zopa’s online application, which includes affordability and credit checks. ● Zopa confirms eligibility and provides loan terms. We finalise your solar project (e.g., site survey, installation) only after approval. ● Post-sale, Zopa sends your credit agreement, and we support solar-related queries, directing finance questions to Zopa.
How does EPC ensure I understand these benefits and risks?
● Clear Information : The Finance Options link provides representative examples, Zopa’s criteria, and a balancing statement: “Borrowing more than you can afford or paying late may affect your financial status and ability to obtain credit.” ● Self-Paced Process : You review terms at your own pace via the website, with no pressure from our staff. ● Lender Support : Contact Zopa directly for finance queries. We do not advise on finance suitability. ● Vulnerable Customers : Simplified explanations, phone support and other support options are available.
What if my financial circumstances change?
If your financial situation changes (e.g., job loss), contact Zopa immediately (https://www.zopa.com) to discuss options. We can advise on alternative payment methods (e.g., cash, card) for future purchases but cannot alter your finance agreement.
Will loan repayments and energy savings differ?
Energy savings from your solar project depend on factors like usage, sunlight, and energy prices, and may not offset loan repayments. Your loan will have fixed monthly payments, while savings vary seasonally. Review Zopa’s representative examples in the FinMatch App to compare costs or contact us for estimated savings projections.
What happens if I move home?
If you move home, your finance agreement with Zopa remains in place, as it is tied to you, not the property. You must continue making repayments as agreed. Solar installations may increase property value, but you should inform Zopa of your new address and discuss any concerns directly with them (https://www.zopa.com). We can also assist with solar system queries.

How long does an installation take?
Typically, a domestic installation will take no longer than 1 day to install and commission.
How long do Solar Panels take to pay back?
Solar panels on your home collect energy from the sun, an inverter then converts direct current (DC) electricity into usable alternating current (AC) electricity suitable for your home’s electricity demand. When you inquire about solar panels one of our friendly experts can advise if Solar PV panels are suitable for you depending on your needs, budget and their effectiveness on your roof.
Can you store the Solar energy?
Yes, options of battery storage are available to work alongside a Solar System.
Do Solar Panels Work on Cloudy Days?
Absolutely! Solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours, not just under direct sunlight. Even on cloudy or overcast days, they capture ambient light and convert it into usable energy for your home or business. Modern solar technology ensures efficient performance year-round, no matter the weather. At EPC, we specialise in installing high-performance solar panel systems designed to maximise energy generation in all UK conditions. Whether it’s sunny or cloudy, our expertly installed systems provide reliable energy savings and help you reduce your carbon footprint.

Do Heat Pumps make a lot of noise?
Modern Air Source Heat Pumps are designed to operate quietly and efficiently, making them well suited for residential properties. While the outdoor unit does produce some sound during operation, today’s systems are significantly quieter than older heating technologies. All heat pumps installed by EPC Improvements are MCS certified and selected to meet strict noise and performance standards. In most cases, the sound level is comparable to everyday background noise, allowing you to enjoy efficient, low-carbon heating without disruption to your home environment.
Is finance suitable for me?
Finance is intended for customers with good financial resilience who can comfortably afford loan repayments and do not expect their circumstances to change during the loan term (12, 24, 36, 60, or 120 months). Zopa’s application process includes affordability and credit checks to assess suitability. You should review Zopa’s criteria and representative examples to ensure the loan fits your budget. Contact Zopa (https://www.zopa.com) for advice or explore other payment options if unsure.
Is underfloor heating suitable for renovations and extensions?
Absolutely. Underfloor heating is ideal for: Home extensions Kitchen renovations Bathroom upgrades Full refurbishments There are low-profile systems specifically designed for retrofit projects where floor height is limited.
Does underfloor heating work with heat pumps?
Yes — and it’s one of the best combinations available. Underfloor heating operates at lower temperatures than radiators, making it ideal for: Air source heat pumps Ground source heat pumps Renewable energy systems This pairing improves efficiency and reduces running costs.

What are the risks of using finance for my project?
● Repayment Commitment : You must make monthly payments on time. Missing payments may affect your credit score and ability to borrow in the future. ● Affordability Risk : Borrowing more than you can afford could lead to financial difficulty. Zopa conducts affordability checks, but you should ensure repayments fit your budget. ● Interest Costs : Loans with APR ≤9.9% include interest, increasing the total cost compared to upfront payment. Review representative examples to understand costs. ● Not Obligated : You’re free to explore other lenders or payment methods (e.g., cash, card). Another lender may offer better terms.
Can underfloor heating be installed upstairs?
Yes. Underfloor heating can be installed on both ground and upper floors, using suitable systems designed for suspended floors or reduced weight requirements.
