Heating & cooling profile
HotAndCold's model combines the recorded floor area, property type and EPC data, so this 45m² 1960s flat has a current EPC rating of C72 and its recorded heating. HotAndCold estimates a space-heating requirement of approximately 3.5–4.5kW. Its current EPC performance is relatively strong for an existing home. 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 24, MOORCOT COURT, BIDEFORD DRIVE, MANCHESTER, M23 0QW.
- 1Cavity wall insulationIndicative cost: £500 - £1,500
Cavity wall insulation, to fill the gap between the inner and outer layers of external walls with an insulating material, reduces heat loss; this will improve levels of comfort, reduce energy use and lower fuel bills. The insulation material is pumped into the gap through small holes that are drilled into the outer walls, and the holes are made good afterwards. As specialist machinery is used to fill the cavity, a professional installation company should carry out this work, and they should carry out a thorough survey before commencing work to ensure that this type of insulation is suitable for this home. They should also provide a guarantee for the work and handle any building control issues. Further information about cavity wall insulation and details of local installers can be obtained from the National Insulation Association (www.nationalinsulationassociation.org.uk).
- 2Add 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.
