Heating & cooling profile
From the available property and energy data, this 43m² flat has a current EPC rating of E44 and mains-gas heating. HotAndCold estimates a space-heating requirement of approximately 3.5–4.5kW. Its current energy rating indicates relatively weak energy performance compared with more efficient homes. 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 FLAT 2, 35 MAYFIELD ROAD, MANCHESTER, M16 8FU.
- 1Low energy lighting for all fixed outletsIndicative cost: £15
Replacement of traditional light bulbs with energy saving recommended ones will reduce lighting costs over the lifetime of the bulb, and they last up to 12 times longer than ordinary light bulbs. Also consider selecting low energy light fittings when redecorating; contact the Lighting Association for your nearest stockist of Domestic Energy Efficient Lighting Scheme fittings.
- 2Change heating to gas condensing boilerIndicative cost: £3,000 - £7,000
Changing the heating to use a mains gas boiler that provides both space and water heating will save money, as mains gas is currently cheaper than the fuel being used at present. A condensing boiler is capable of much higher efficiencies than other types of boiler, meaning it will burn less fuel to heat the property, but there may be exceptional circumstances making this impractical. Condensing boilers need a drain for the condensate which limits their location; remember this when considering remodelling the room containing the existing boiler even if the latter is to be retained for the time being (for example a kitchen makeover). This improvement is most appropriate when the existing heating system needs repair or replacement. It is best to obtain advice from a qualified heating engineer. Ask the engineer 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.
- 4Replace single glazed windows with low-E double glazed windowsIndicative cost: £3,300 - £6,500
Double glazing is the term given to a system where two panes of glass are made up into a sealed unit. Replacing existing single-glazed windows with double-glazed windows will improve comfort in the home by reducing draughts and cold spots near windows. Double-glazed windows may also reduce noise, improve security and combat problems with condensation.
- 5Draught proof single-glazed windowsIndicative cost: £80 - £120
Fitting draught proofing, strips of insulation around windows and doors, will improve the comfort in the home. A contractor can be employed but draught proofing can be installed by a competent DIY enthusiast.
