Energy improvement potential
Recommended improvements for this property
Measures from this home’s official Energy Performance Certificate assessment that could raise its rating and cut running costs, specific to 161 RECTORY GREEN, PRESTWICH, MANCHESTER, M25 1BR.
- 1Replacement warm air unitIndicative cost: £1,250 - £2,500
A modern warm air unit is capable of higher efficiency than older types, meaning it will burn less fuel for heating and (if fitted) the hot water system in your property. This improvement is most appropriate when the existing central heating warm air unit or hot water service needs repair or replacement. It is best to obtain advice from a qualified heating engineer. Ask the engineer to explain the options.
