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 46, BRIAR HILL COURT, BRIAR HILL WAY, SALFORD, M6 5LL.
- 1Add additional 80 mm jacket to hot water cylinderIndicative cost: £15 - £30
Increasing the thickness of existing insulation by adding an 80 mm cylinder jacket around the hot water cylinder will help maintain the water at the required temperature; this will reduce the amount of energy used and lower fuel bills. The jacket should be fitted over the top of the existing foam insulation and over any thermostat clamped to the cylinder. Hot water pipes from the hot water cylinder should also be insulated, using pre-formed pipe insulation of up to 50 mm thickness (or to suit the space available) for as far as they can be accessed to reduce losses in summer. All these materials can be purchased from DIY stores and installed by a competent DIY enthusiast.
- 2High heat retention storage heatersIndicative cost: £800 - £1,200
Modern storage heaters have better insulation and are easier to control than the older type in the property. Ask for a quotation for new, high heat retention heaters with automatic charge and output controls. 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.
- 3Heat recovery system for mixer showersIndicative cost: £585 - £725
A shower heat recovery system extracts heat from the water in the shower drain and transfers it to incoming cold water. This reduces the amount of energy needed per shower.
