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 2 ERINDALE CRESCENT, FRODSHAM, WA6 6DZ.

1. 1
   Solar photovoltaic panels, 2.5 kWpIndicative cost: £8,000

   A solar PV system is one which converts light directly into electricity via panels placed on the roof with no waste and no emissions. This electricity is used throughout the home in the same way as the electricity purchased from an energy supplier. The British Photovoltaic Association has up-to-date information on local installers who are qualified electricians. It is best to obtain advice from a qualified electrician. Ask the electrician to explain the options.

2. 2
   Solar water heatingIndicative cost: £6,000

   A solar water heating panel, usually fixed to the roof, uses the sun to pre-heat the hot water supply. This will significantly reduce the demand on the heating system to provide hot water and hence save fuel and money. The Solar Trade Association has up-to-date information on local installers.

3. 3
   Floor insulation (solid floor)Indicative cost: £6,000

   Insulation of a floor will significantly reduce heat loss; this will improve levels of comfort, reduce energy use and lower fuel bills. Further information about floor insulation is available from many sources including www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/northernireland/Insulation/Floor-insulation.

4. 4
   Replacement warm air unitIndicative cost: £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.

5. 5
   Low energy lighting for all fixed outletsIndicative cost: £45

   Replacement of traditional light bulbs with energy saving recommended ones will reduce lighting costs over the lifetime of the bulb, and they last up to 12 times longer than ordinary light bulbs. Also consider selecting low energy light fittings when redecorating; contact the Lighting Association for your nearest stockist of Domestic Energy Efficient Lighting Scheme fittings.

6. 6
   Replacement glazing unitsIndicative cost: £1,400

   Replacing existing double-glazed units with new high-performance units will improve comfort in the home and reduce energy use.
