Heating & cooling profile
From the available property and energy data, this 99m² 1960s flat has a current EPC rating of E53 and its recorded heating. HotAndCold estimates a space-heating requirement of approximately 6.5–8.5kW. Its current energy rating indicates relatively weak energy performance compared with more efficient homes. Its modelled space-heating intensity per square metre is moderate.

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 8, PRESTBURY COURT, CASTLE RISE, PRESTBURY, MACCLESFIELD, SK10 4UR.
- 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.
- 2Flat roof or sloping ceiling insulationIndicative cost: £850 - £1,500
Insulation of a flat roof or sloping ceiling will significantly reduce heat loss through the roof; this will improve levels of comfort, reduce energy use and lower fuel bills. Where the weatherproof membrane is sound and the roof construction is appropriate, suitable insulation can be placed on top of the roof membrane (inverted roof). Alternatively, where the weatherproof membrane needs to be replaced insulation can be provided under the weatherproof membrane (warm roof). Further information about roof insulation and details of local contractors can be obtained from the National Insulation Association (www.nationalinsulationassociation.org.uk).
- 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.

Common questions
How much does a replacement boiler cost for a property like this?+
For this property we estimate an installed cost of £1,900–£3,200. This is indicative and based on the property's size, type and energy characteristics — your final price depends on equipment choice and an installer survey.
What size boiler might this property need?+
Our preliminary model estimates a heat requirement of around 6.5–8.5 kW. An installer confirms exact sizing on a heat-loss assessment.
How much would air conditioning cost here?+
A multi-split installation is estimated at £3,800–£5,700, depending on how many rooms you want to cool (around 3 indoor units in a typical layout).
Are these guaranteed prices?+
No — they are indicative estimates to help you understand likely costs before speaking to an installer. Your final price depends on equipment choice, installation complexity and a survey.
