Heating & cooling profile

HotAndCold's model combines the recorded floor area, property type and EPC data, so this 51m² 1980s flat has a current EPC rating of E44 and its recorded heating. HotAndCold estimates a space-heating requirement of approximately 2.5–4.0kW. The recorded EPC score sits towards the lower end of the efficiency range. The estimated heat demand per square metre is towards the lower end.

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 DAIRY FARM, TRAP STREET, LOWER WITHINGTON, MACCLESFIELD, SK11 9EF.

  1. 1
    Floor insulation (solid floor)Indicative cost: £4,000 - £6,000

    Insulation of a floor will significantly reduce heat loss; this will improve levels of comfort, reduce energy use and lower fuel bills. Further information about floor insulation is available from many sources including www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/northernireland/Insulation/Floor-insulation.

  2. 2
    Upgrade 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.
