Heating & cooling profile
HotAndCold's model combines the recorded floor area, property type and EPC data, so this 97m² 1950s bungalow has a current EPC rating of E52 and mains-gas heating. HotAndCold estimates a space-heating requirement of approximately 7.0–9.0kW. This property's recorded energy efficiency is comparatively low. The estimated heat demand per square metre is around typical levels.

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 3 PROSPECT VALE, HEALD GREEN, CHEADLE, SK8 3RJ.
- 1Replacement glazing unitsIndicative cost: £1,000 - £1,400
Replacing existing double-glazed units with new high-performance units will improve comfort in the home and reduce energy use.
- 2Solar photovoltaic panels, 2.5 kWpIndicative cost: £3,500 - £5,500
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.
- 3Floor insulation (suspended floor)Indicative cost: £800 - £1,200
Insulation of a floor will significantly reduce heat loss; this will improve levels of comfort, reduce energy use and lower fuel bills. Suspended floors can often be insulated from below. . Further information about floor insulation is available from many sources including www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/northernireland/Insulation/Floor-insulation.
- 4Upgrade heating controlsIndicative cost: £350 - £450
The heating system should have a room thermostat to enable the boiler to switch off when no heat is required. A competent heating engineer should be asked to do this work. Insist that the thermostat switches off the boiler as well as the pump and that the thermostatic radiator valve is removed from any radiator in the same room as the thermostat. It is best to obtain advice from a qualified heating engineer.
- 5Solar water heatingIndicative cost: £4,000 - £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.
