Heating & cooling profile
Using the recorded floor area and EPC characteristics, this 46m² 1950s flat has a current EPC rating of C70 and its recorded heating. HotAndCold estimates a space-heating requirement of approximately 3.0–3.5kW. The recorded EPC score is comparatively high for existing housing stock. Its modelled space-heating intensity per square metre is relatively low.

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 36, HOLLOW END TOWERS, NORTHUMBERLAND ROAD, BRINNINGTON, STOCKPORT, SK5 8NY.
- 1Fan assisted storage heaters and dual immersion cylinderIndicative cost: £900 - £1,200
Modern storage heaters are smaller and easier to control than the older type in the property. Ask for a quotation for new, fan-assisted heaters with automatic charge control. A dual-immersion cylinder, which can be installed at the same time, will provide cheaper hot water than the system currently installed. As installations should be in accordance with the current regulations covering electrical wiring, only a qualified electrician should carry out the installation. It is best to obtain advice from a qualified heating engineer. Ask the engineer to explain the options, which might also include switching to other forms of electric heating.
- 250 mm internal or external wall insulationIndicative cost: £4,000 - £14,000
Solid wall insulation involves adding a layer of insulation to either the inside or the outside surface of the external walls, which reduces heat loss and lowers fuel bills. As it is more expensive than cavity wall insulation it is only recommended for walls without a cavity, or where for technical reasons a cavity cannot be filled. Internal insulation, known as dry-lining, is where a layer of insulation is fixed to the inside surface of external walls; this type of insulation is best applied when rooms require redecorating and can be installed by a competent DIY enthusiast. External solid wall insulation is the application of an insulant and a weather-protective finish to the outside of the wall. This may improve the look of the home, particularly where existing brickwork or rendering is poor, and will provide long-lasting weather protection. Further information can be obtained from the National Insulation Association (www.nationalinsulationassociation.org.uk).
