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, CHESHIRE PARK HOMES, CHESTER ROAD, DUNHAM ON THE HILL, CHESTER, FRODSHAM, WA6 0NU.

1. 1
   Replace boiler with new condensing boilerIndicative cost: £2,200 - £3,000

   A condensing boiler is capable of much higher efficiencies than other types of boiler, meaning it will burn less fuel to heat this property. This improvement is most appropriate when the existing central heating boiler needs repair or replacement, but there may be exceptional circumstances making this impractical. Condensing boilers need a drain for the condensate which limits their location; remember this when considering remodelling the room containing the existing boiler even if the latter is to be retained for the time being (for example a kitchen makeover). It is best to obtain advice from a qualified heating engineer. Ask the engineer to explain the options.

2. 2
   High performance external doorsIndicative cost: £1,000

   High performance external doors contain insulation and lose heat at about half the rate of conventional external doors.

3. 3
   Flue gas heat recovery in conjunction with boilerIndicative cost: £400 - £900

   A flue gas heat recovery system extracts heat from the boiler flue gases and transfers it to the incoming cold water so that the boiler needs to supply less heat. It is suitable for use only with a modern condensing gas boiler and should be fitted when a replacement boiler is installed.

4. 4
   Upgrade heating controlsIndicative cost: £350 - £450

   Thermostatic radiator valves allow the temperature of each room to be controlled to suit individual needs, adding to comfort and reducing heating bills provided internal doors are kept closed. For example, they can be set to be warmer in the living room and bathroom than in the bedrooms. Ask a competent heating engineer to install thermostatic radiator valves. Thermostatic radiator valves should be fitted to every radiator except the radiator in the same room as the room thermostat. Remember the room thermostat is needed as well as the thermostatic radiator valves, to enable the boiler to switch off when no heat is required. It is best to obtain advice from a qualified heating engineer.
